Donnie welcomed us with an open heart. He and Susan cooked for us and made us feel cared for and loved. I’ll always remember that. Bless you Donnie. We’ll see you on the other side!
Grandpa loved his grandbabies. He was always stopping by bringing them something special. I’m so glad they had a chance to have him in their lives. Jenny Chastain

He was a great father, Loved to spoil the kids & grand babies. He loved to go fishing, He would sit at that lake all night if he could. He loved to tell stories about going salmon fishing with his dad, & the things he had experienced in his life. He would want us to celebrate his life. I pray one day we’ll all see each other again, until then he will live on in us, & we will remember him always and forever. Love you dad. ‘May god hold your hand as you walk through the gates of heaven.’ Amen
