Donnie never met a stranger.

He had a personal relationship with the Lord and showed his compassion through the way he cared for others.

Donnie loved the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and enjoying nature. He also enjoyed firing up the grill and cooking pork steaks, and hot dogs for those around him. Music of all kinds brought him joy, and he had a special interest in collecting lighters and restoring old tools and toolboxes.
