I knew him fairly well and he was one of the bestest friends I could ever have. I loved him like a brother and wished we had more time together. Although we never met in person, he joined many lives together and formed a family. He will be missed by so many. I love you Brother until we meet again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and loved ones and everyone that knew him.
I want to say i was blessed to have know Donnie. Just a couple day ago I gave Donnie a ride home and we joked about him being a grandpa. Had a lot of good times with Donnie and his family. I played Santa Clause for his kids thanks to Debbie and Bonnie. He loved playing video games like his brother Mike.
My condolences to Debbie’s and Mike.

I’m sending HugsLuv N Prayers to the whole family and all who loved him, This loss is unbearable…😔 He was a bright light in my life when we were both in a dark spot and we forged an unbreakable bond that’ll never fade away. He became my Best Friend best supporter and we could depend on one another to build eachother up or make eachother laugh(Thats priceless to me) I let him in like no other we had trust and love Im left w a Dim Flicker that used to shine bright. I will never forget how he made me feel and the Genuine Love n Friendship he shared with me The laughter The Tears All of it. I cannot even put into words what he meant to me but omgawd do I feel empty without him. Gone way too soon but never forgotten and Always Loved. Donnie I will carry you in my heart Always Bestie.

Donnie I don’t even know where to begin…. Meeting you wasn’t planned but I’ll never forget the happiness you brought into my life. You always had that smile and you always had such a spark about you. You didn’t care what anyone thought of me you loved me right from the start. You came into my life when I was going through a really tough breakup and you immediately were there for me. You always tried to build me back up and help me to see all the good in myself when others would try to just bring me down. You loved me for me you never once misunderstood me and you made me feel like I mattered. You don’t even understand how much you helped me and what you taught me. You were my ride or die and I was yours. Life will never be the same without you. You touched so many lives and brought so many people together. So many people love you Donnie. You made a beautiful family and we are all together now just like you always wanted. You were an amazing man that had such a shine about you that no one could ever dim. Your laugh was infectious and you had the most amazing smile that lit up a room. You couldn’t be sad around you because you had such a comforting way about you. Your love was genuine and real and you were always there when I needed you. I’m going to miss you so much you were like a brother to me and you were my best friend. To Donnie’s family, to his parents thank you for making the most amazing man my heart goes out to you. My deepest condolences to all his family. I just want you to know that he touched so many of our lives and there is a whole family and community on Tik Tok that love him and will be continuing his legacy.
