Condolences

Donnie was a great guy. I've known hime since high school. I am so glad he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He is now resting in the Lord's arms and will never feel another pain. You girls are in my prayers because death isn't easy. Please know that God will help you through. This is not something you get over. It's something you will get through. Pauine Vadasy
Heartbroken and still in disbelief. I always joked with uncle Donny that he would outlive us all!! That guy took everything life threw at him and still smiled through it all!! I was so very thankful to see him this past Christmas. He came out to see me at my aunt’s house. I learned afterward that he wasn’t feeling well that day but got up and came out in the cold to visit me anyway! We laughed and reminisced and I would never have known he was unwell. If I’d known that was our last visit I would’ve hugged him a little tighter, a little longer. Miss you already Uncle Donny. Say hi to mom and Aunt Jane for me. Love you always❤️ Lisa Burnham
My heart breaks to hear of the passing of your dad we’ve been friends ever since we’ve been young I lived on Judd Road he and his family lived on otter Road he just came to the beauty shop just to say hi and get his haircut just I don’t know a month or two ago he’ll be missed very much ❤️ Donnie and Jane. Where a perfect couple. Karen (Vena ) Feldt Karen Feldt
