Donzil Earl "Donnie" Locke

Donzil "Donnie" Earl Locke Jr.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donnie Locke Jr., age 61, who left us on April 2, 2025. Born on June 26, 1963, in Canton, Ohio where he embraced every moment with his characteristic humor and an indomitable spirit.
Donnie dedicated many years of hard work as a factory employee at ARE. He was a proud Buckeyes fan and cheered for the Cleveland Browns with unwavering loyalty. If you knew Donnie, you knew he could talk sports for hours and had an infectious laugh that could lift anyone's spirits.
Donnie was preceded in death by his mother Marianne Locke. He is survived by his children Cortney Graham (Todd), Brittany Mancuso (Mike), and Jesse Locke (Nicole); girlfriend Karen Caley, father Don Locke Sr. (Janet); sisters Shelley Manley (Mark), Kim Randulic (Mark), and Stephanie Rivera-Weiss (Brian); and several grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Cremation has taken place, and we invite friends and family to a Funeral Mass to be held 11:00 AM Saturday April 12 at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church 4940 Tuscarawas St. W. Canton, OH 44708, Ohio.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that you raise a glass in Donnie's honor and celebrate the joy he brought to all our lives. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in our hearts.
