Don always treated me as one of his own, and I guess I was kinda. He taught me a lot and did a lot for me and my family. Loved him so much. I’ll miss him but we’ll meet again!

Charlotte and family, so sorry for your loss.
Donny was one of those guys who would truly give you the shirt of his back. If there was something that needed doing, and did it without expecting any thanks. He will truly be missed by many.
Sending thoughts and prayers
