A passionate fisherman, Donald cherished the time spent shrimping with his brother, Richard. He was known for his love of sports, where he not only enjoyed watching events but also attended games to support his favorite teams. His family was his greatest joy; he held a deep affection for his children and grandchildren, who brought endless happiness into his life.

A true lover of life, Donald eagerly anticipated his yearly trip to Cruising the Coast with Wayne and Fragile, which brought him much joy and many cherished memories.

Donald was often seen with a toothpick between his lips, a cherished quirk that friends and family will fondly remember as part of his unique personality.

His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
