I am very sad to have just heard of Mr. Donnie's passing. He helped us out with a few things regarding my family, simply because he wanted to. He was a man of his word, and I fully trusted him to always back up what he said. If you treated him right, he would do the same for you! Prayers for his family in this difficult time. 🙏  Rest in Peace Mr. Donnie.

Donnie was always a caring and sharing man. He would do anything to help you if he could. He truly loved his wife Karen, grandson Jack and the rest of his family. He will be missed by everyone and by many the family never knew. Rest in peace. My prayer are for Karen and the family in this time of loss, may God comfort your hearts with the thought that love lives on.

We are going to miss you Donnie. You were our biggest critic at work over the years. It’s sad to see you go. To spite all of your griping and screaming and mean comments, it would be nice to see you here today. You were a hard worker and you loved what you did. You were our go to guy for everything.  I’m sorry to see you go. Who’s going to send me pics of greasy cheeseburgers now?! RIP friend, coworker. -Tasha Weaver

Uncle Donnie 
I’ve got so many memories so many great times. I remember 20 years ago I met you we both spent numerous days taking care of your daddy when he was sick. and the days that you were there were like the best days ever!!! especially when we cooked lunch we always had hotdogs with french fries you always called the french fries ( yum Yum’s)  
What I wouldn’t give right now to be cooking them for you.
 you were there when your great nephew Justin took his first steps you both were so close he sure looked up to you he sure loves you!
All of our hearts are hurting knowing that you are gone one thing for sure you will never be forgotten rest in peace uncle Donnie we love you  until we meet again love you always !! Chris ,Kathy, and Justin Byrd

Mr. Donnie was such a caring, funny man that always made me feel welcomed and loved. I remember he never put up with any bull, would have been at my house in a minute if I ever needed his help, and he loved his family. I always enjoyed talking and visiting with him and Mrs. Karen, hearing their funny stories and picking on each other the way they did. I hate that I have not seen him in a few years and regret that I haven't stayed in touch like I should have.  I'm very saddened by his passing. He will always have a special place in my heart.  My prayers are with Mrs. Karen, Steven, and Amanda and the rest of his family.
