Publish in a newspaper
. Donnie was born to the late Don Ward and Mary Lee Ward, and was lovingly raised by his mother, Phyllis Coleman Ward. His life's greatest calling was to serve the Kingdom of God. He faithfully lived out his ministry as a deacon at Lighthouse Free Will Baptist Church, where he was a devoted servant, encourager, and witness of God's love.
Donnie is survived by his beloved wife, Brenda Roberts Ward; his daughters, Rebecca (Greg) Ward McCoy and Katlin "Katie" (CJ) Ward Campbell; his grandchildren Cadence and Aaron Campbell; his mother, Phyllis Coleman Ward; his siblings, Susie (Paul) Rice, Greg (Tamara) Ward, Audra (Wes) Kingsmore, and Rodney (Amanda) Ward; his niece Natalie Hill, nephews Matthew Ward, Dustin Kingsmore, Clark Rice, Ryan Kingsmore, Preston Ward, Landry Ward, and Nolan Ward; and great-nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind a host of extended family, church family, and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
Along with his father and Mary Lee Holt, he was preceded in death by loved ones who now welcome him into eternal rest.
Donnie will be remembered for his unwavering faith, his devotion to family, and his lifelong commitment to serving the Lord.
A celebration of life will take place at Lighthouse Free Will Baptist Church on Sunday, October 12th, 2025 at 11am.
In Lieu of flowers, the family invites contributions to Lighthouse Free Will Baptist Church. Donations can be sent to our PayPal [email protected] or you can send a check.
