Donny,  I was just telling a friend 2 weeks ago bout the time you was bout 3 /4 &  sitting on. my mom's lap & her teeth accidentally slide out of her mouth & you seen that & it freaked you out & you never sat on Mom's lap  again..You was a gooden Donny...Much love to you cuz!!

Michael and Karen, you have my heart felt Sympathy.
  To be separated from a sibling is heart breaking: but we look down the road just a little way and see Jesus coming to get us all and to all that has repented and surrendered their heart  and life to Him that died  for us to have life and arose so we could live, there will be a reunion day we all will be together again. 
  Michael let your heart be encouraged, the Lord does things  we know not now but we will. 
My prayers are with you and Karen 

To my sweet cousin Donny......sadly...you left us unexpectedly and way too soon....I will never forget you at church when you were a little boy and watching you grow up...you always had a great sense of humor and enjoyed making people laugh and cheering them up if they were sad...to this day..l remember your and Michael's stories about your truckdriving arguments and experiences...they made us laugh and smile...you will be truly missed by many...especially your mom.......fly high angel........love...Penny

I’ve known Donny for many moons and I can say that  me and him had some great times hanging out together when I was young I wasn’t really the popular kid in the neighborhood but that never mattered to Donny he  let me tag along and treated me like family and for that along I’ve allways thought of Donny as  brother Rip Brother till we meet again 🇺🇸🙏🏼

There's so many memories of our children  together when they were young,church,playing,laughter. Time goes by so fast.  It's so hard to lose a loved one;especially mom,dad,sibling or your child. To Donny's family: our prayers are with you now and the days to come... Love,Tommy & Diane Day

I remember the day your mom and daddy brought you home from the hospital i was so excited to get to go see you and everytime y'all would come to Virginia i would carry you everywhere. I remember the pillow fights me you Michael and Carolyn would have.
You knew how to make people lough
at your jokes if someone was sad you would say something funny.
I'm going to miss you your smile.
Love you cuz.
Judy

 

I only met Donny a few times, so I didn't know him very well, but I know that he was loved by his family. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts, and prayers.

Donny,
I will never forget all the times we spent together growing up.  You were always the one that made me laugh when I was mad, told me that revenge is sweeter than tears and that the Boughman women are quiet the force to be reckoned with.   I could always depend on you to scare me with your driving, tell me the wildest trucker stories and tease me about being aunt Lillian's favorite.  It was never a competition, but you loved to give us a hard time about it.  I learned about lot lizards (lol), big rigs and cross country trips with Michael.  Oh, the stories!  You loved with your whole heart and DJ will always remember that.  His face would light up when he was with you.  I promise that we will make sure he never forgets how amazing his daddy was.  I will always see you when I look at him. You are so missed and so loved.  Love, Jenn

Donny I'll never forget you You were a awesome Cousin& you'll NEVER be Forgotten, You& Micheal Were  Like my brothers growing up& Then Came Eric, You always was close to Your Uncle David Who loved you, While your Up there y'all can now laugh& joke Again, Tell them I said Hello& I miss& love them, Just for Now Because I'll be joining you soon I definitely can't wait to meet Jesus& see all of you Again Someday Until then Fly High My Sweet Cousin Love Lynn
