Donald Edward Topping of Jacksonville, Florida, passed away on July 20, 2025, at the age of 54. At Ascension St. Vincent's Emergency Care - Westside Jacksonville Fl. He was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on November 13, 1970.
Donald is lovingly remembered by his mother, Monique Topping of Orange Park, Florida; and Father, Robert Edward Topping of Inverness, Florida; his brother's, Leonard Topping and wife Ellen of Bradenton, Florida; Nicholas Topping of Floral City, Florida; and his two children, Amanda Topping and Dillen Topping, both of Jacksonville, Florida.
Donald Loved his kids his family and friends he found joy in sharing his passions with others. His love for food and cooking was infectious, and he was fortunate to have held two dream jobs that brought him great fulfillment. As a Roadranger, he assisted stranded motorists with care and dedication. Later, as an ice cream van driver, he brought smiles to countless children with his sweet offerings.
He had a deep appreciation for the water and carried a carefree spirit that endeared him to many. Donald had a natural ability to connect with others and was known for never meeting a stranger.
Despite facing many health challenges, Donald remained resilient and generous. His final act of kindness, becoming an organ donor, stands as a lasting testament to his compassionate heart.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
A celebration of life service will be announced at a later date.
