Donnie was known to those who knew him best as a guy who was funny, handy, and deeply passionate about the things and people he cared about.
He enjoyed riding and fixing bikes, fishing, video games, music, RC cars, cooking, comedy, spending time with family and friends, loved cats, and loved making people laugh. He had his struggles, but he had a big soft heart, and felt his best when he was able to do things for others.
His sudden departure is devastating, and his absence is, and forever will be, felt deeply by his family and close friends.
