I had the pleasure of knowing Donnie in high school.   He was a fun, smiley, and kind guy who could tear it up on the soccer field.   RIP my friend.

Donnie and I played soccer together for years growing up.  He was a great person to be around and always made people smile.  I consider myself blessed to have known Donnie and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

"Donnie was capable having a deep conversation about life altering subjects, as well as being the first to say something completely ridiculous during an awkward silence. If Donnie was around, I was probably having a good time. Loved his wit, charm and smile, even though he cheered for the wrong team. I'll miss him dearly and remember him fondly. He gave me some good advice over the years and I will continue to put it to good use. Peace, my man. I'll see you around...

Donnie never failed to make me laugh.  He will be missed by so many.  My heartfelt sympathies to all those who loved, and were loved by, Donnie

Donnie was a great friend and coworker.  I could always count on Donnie to make me laugh, his quick wit and gift to play on words always kept me on my toes.    He was also amazing at providing service internally and to our customers, I always knew I could count on Donnie to help out with any task that was needed.  Everyone loved him!
Donnie will be missed by us all.  I feel blessed to have known him and to have so many great memories to cherish.  I know the Lord is rejoicing to have Donnie home in Heaven.
May the Lord be with you and give you comfort as you grieve and heal.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope memories of better days help you through these tough times.

When I worked in the same room with Donnie. For more than 10 years, I could count on him making me smile. Some how, some way, each and everyday.  
 Now I am able carry Donnie's smile in my heart. For that I am truly grateful..  
I am going to miss you my friend.
