Although our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain and suffering. He will be forever in our hearts.

    May this candle shine in the memories of the good times Donnie had with our children, Kendra and Krystal. They enjoyed fishing trips and the summer races that gave them all such joy and connections. He had many good memories with his many friends and acquaintances over the years. He did live his life to the fullest whenever he could. Rest in peace Donnie. I am glad your suffering is finally over.

    In the 3 short years I have known this man, he has become a great friend! From what I know of Donnie, he lived life to the fullest and never regretted one minute of it! He will be greatly missed!
