Donald was always a great friend of mine and always had a big smile on his face. I've known him since we were kids playing on the local softball teams in Baker and working with him at Dow. He will be missed greatly by everyone. My prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

Lynn and family, Donald was a pleasure and an inspiration to be around and work with. He was truly a spokesman for our construction group at Dow and his energy and sharing will be definitely missed but his spirit will live on forever. My sincere condolences on your great loss!

I am so sorry for the loss of Mr Donald, he always had a smile on his face and a tune whistling from his mouth...Such a happy soul.

Betty Ann 
Sorry to hear about your loss. We are keeping you and your family covered in prayer. May God's peace be your comfort.

I have had the joy of working with Donald for many years at Dow.  He was a joy to work with and a shining example of the fruit of the spirit.  His beautiful voice will be missed by all of us.  May God be with his family and loved ones for he has called home one of his angels.

I had the privilege of working with Donald on several projects at Dow. Donald was an outstanding individual and will be deeply missed by all those fortunate enough to work / interact with him. My prayers go out his family and loved ones.

Donald was a wonderful, lively soul.  I enjoyed his recurring visits to my office.  There was not a problem Donald couldn't resolve.  He brought Energy and Excitment to the workplace.  His contagious smile and joyous singing will be terribly missed.  May God Bless You and Your Family.

Betty Ann and Joey, 
Sid and I are thinking of you,and  praying for your family. I pray you will feel His peace surrounding you and His Holy Spirit comforting your family.

I've known Donald for quite a few years and was deeply sadened to hear of his passing. We worked together at Dow and our sons played football together at Denham High. He was a devoted father, extremely proud of his children, and he never missed a chance to bring me up to date on Donald and Brent when we saw each other. He will surely be missed......Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord...and may perpetual light shine upon him...may he rest in peace.

He was my fishing buddy
He was my travel buddy
He was my football buddy
HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND!!
R.I.P. My friend...until we meet again.
I will miss you, Your Bud,Ricky

So sorry to hear about Mr.Donald.. My prayers are with your family. He will be deeply missed.

Aunt Lynn I just want you to know how sorry I am for your loss!  I know that he meant the world to you and the love that yall shared was priceless!  His smile is going to be the thing that I remember the most.  He was not judgemental in any way and that is what I loved about him.  I'm sorry I can't make it to the visitation or the funeral.  I will keep your family in my prayers!

The loss of Donald has saddened the hearts of those that were involved with the Denham Springs Bears football organization in the 90's. Donald was devoted and was dedicated to the youth and worked hard to encourage them daily.  He was a good person and will be truly missed.

We were so sorry to hear of Donald's passing.  We tailgated next to him at LSU and thoroughly enjoyed being in his company.  One of the last home games, he shared his delicious homemade sausage with us.  One thing we learned from him was his love for his family!  He loved all of you deeply!  Family was everything to him. He will be sorely missed!

May God bless you & your family during this difficult time.  Donald was such a nice man to work with.  He will be greatly missed at DOW.

I'm so sorry to hear the sad news. Praying for all of you during this time... May Gods peace be with you...

My sympathy goes out to the family of Donald. I've worked with Donald on many occasions at DOW and he will be missed. We were just talking and clowing around with each other last week. 
My God bless you with comfort and understanding during this time in your lives.

We were so saddened to hear this. We met Donald and family in 1990 with the Bears football team. Our kids played ball for Donald,. and I even had to pleasure to assist him as well in football. Donald was always a great with people. He was truly a special person. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Don's passing. On several occasions I had the opportunity to work with Don on projects at Dow. His personality and our common interest made working together seem more like fun than work. We need more people like him. I am truly sorry for your loss.

My prayers are with you and your family at this time.  Donald is a great man who will be missed.  Always a pleasure working with him.

May God bless and keep you. My His Spirit comfort you all.

Donald was great to work with!  He always had a smile on his face and loved to tell us about his grandchildren!  I always expected the LSU fight song on my voicemail during the week of LSU vs MSU.  He will be missed very much!

When I think of Donald Ray I am reminded of our childhood when he let me ride his horse bareback at warp speed. When I couldn't catch my breath, he would go faster. Thanks for that time in our life Donald Ray. I hope you are riding wild with the horses in Heaven! May God Bless your family and all of your loved ones. Your cousin, Patsy Kelly in Virgina.

Our heart goes out to the Kelly family at this time and in the days ahead. Don is one of the people that you meet in your lifetime that you will never forget & feel blessed to be considered his friend.

I share in your sorrow. I worked with Don and will always remember the smile he hed everytime I saw him

Donald was the most pleasent person to be around. He always had a smile and a song in his heart. We shared a lot of good stories about family and work. To his family: He loved y'all so much, I hope I relate to others the love for my family as he did. He will be missed!!!
