Donnie was a good friend as well as my classmate at CHS. I remember his brilliance in everything he did but most of all, I remember his love and kindness to others. I moved to Cookeville just a before my Junior year of HS which is a difficult age to transition to a new school. Donnie made me feel welcome immediately and we became good friends those last two years of high school. My heart breaks for his family and I pray that knowing how many loved him helps bring some comfort. Praying for peace for all of you. Glenda Qualls Bates

I have such good memories of my friendship with Donnie. We went to church and school together as young kids and on in to our teenage years. He and his mom and dad hold a special place in my heart. Don and Lucille – I am so very sorry for your loss. Donnie was blessed to have you as parents – and you were blessed to have him. He’s walking on streets of gold now. No pain and no sadness there. I’ll bet my sweet mom has welcomed him with open arms and they are exchanging precious memories of Eastwood Baptist. My heart breaks for you both. Love and hugs and prayers, Sandra Maddux Bohannon Cookeville, TN

I am another first cousin of Donnie’s from East Tennessee. Early on, Kermit the frog was a constant companion when he would come over to visit or go on any outing. I recall many weekends, holidays, family celebrations and reunions playing those board games Rena talked about earlier with Donnie and other cousins, siblings, aunts and uncles. We also spent many hours playing “Trouble.” Donnie and I loved to see how many times we could send each other back to “home” during a game. Donnie was an excellent strategic thinker, so he was nearly impossible to beat at anything. He wanted to be the best. Of course, it was instilled in all of us to give our best effort, and it is evident that Donnie was giving his best effort his entire life. We had a great deal of fun together growing up with our other cousins. Our families made it a point to get together to work together and play together. Our parents, aunts and uncles demonstrated family values, work ethic, and caring for each other. I will always remember Donnie’s smile and laugh, and how very smart he was in his approach to everything. My heart goes out to all Donnie’s family and friends. Love, Becky

I hold his family in my heart during this difficult time and send daily prayers. I have been fortunate to be part of their lives for almost 6 years being entrusted with caring for the children–each one a talented and unique individual in their own right–offering support, guidance and laughter during life’s inevitable challenges. Don deeply loved all of his children and we had many special times with them whether doing homework, going to Great America, watching old episodes of SNL (the cow bell skit was one of his favorites!), indulging in culinary delights, going for hikes, riding bikes (always lots of shouting involved!), attending skating events, and playing soccer in the park, to name a few. Even in his final months, nothing brought him more joy than seeing his children and, to the degree possible, keeping involved in their lives. I know I’m in good company when I say, “To all who loved Don and felt touched by his presence in their lives, we have been fortunate to have known him and call him a friend.” Beth Wilson

Our memories of Don started just a few years ago when we met him and Holly over Tuesday oysters at SAMs. After just a few encounters we knew we were kindred spirits Don had such a gentle presence but a sharp humor that brought laughter to all. He was such a humble person that never boasted of his accomplishments so we were amazed to discover his great musical talents and his genius intellect We were blessed to spend many evenings andd even an overnight with him and Holly. A memorable moment was when Don shared his feelings on enjoying a friendship “just because you genuinely like someone”. The greatest honor came at the end of his courageous battle against cancer when he asked me to be his home nurse and be there for Holly and his family as his time with us came to a close. Phil has the honor of being one of the pall bearers.True to himself Don rallied to acknowledge each visitor as they paid their respects and goodbyes. He was a true warrior to the end. Don you will be so missed. With Loving Memories. Carol and Phil Angelico
