He worked in landscaping for a period of time and most recently worked in trucking and on the Bakken, North Dakota Oil Fields. An avid outdoorsman, Donnie enjoyed animals, wildlife, shooting guns, and riding motorcycles. Donnie was generous to a fault and always found enjoyment in the simple things in life. Above all, he was a loving son, brother, and a proud uncle to his seven nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Haskel Prock; paternal grandparents, Zoe and William E. “Bill” Imhausen; uncle, John Imhausen; brother-in-law, Phung Nguyen.
