The past 10 years I´ve known you has been an absolute blessing.. I´ll miss you so much, Donny.

Me and Donny were both in Iraq together and one day I went to his CHU and he pulled mouthwash out of the freezer and took a swig and offered some to me. I was flabbergasted and asked why he was drinking mouthwash. He laughed and said it's not mouthwash it's everclear my sister send me in a mouthwash bottle so no one would know. Donny knew how to have a good time no matter where he was. I'm going to miss him dearly. He was one of the best people I've ever known.
