Born January 3, 1958 in Catawba County, he was the son of the late Donald Lee Stroud Sr. and Marilyn Pittman Cole.
Donnie was a wonderful man beloved by his entire family. He was a truly good, hardworking man with a delicious dry humor. Reserved and quiet-spoken he had an intelligent quick wit. A voracious reader, he loved the comfort of the home that he and his wife Valerie built. There with Val and his menagerie of pets he was most comfortable. While he professed to not like people much, he was always kind toward others and loving toward family. He will be sorely missed but his wife and family will honor his memory forever.
He is survived by his loving wife, Valerie Bryant Stroud; his brother, Benjamin Stroud and wife, Kim; nephews, Camen Stroud, Talon Stroud and wife, Meredith; 2 great-nephews, his beloved niece, Destini Bryant; as well as numerous cousins.
A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, November 2, 2019 in the Drum Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Richard Irwin officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.
