Donnie was my cousin and always a favorite he was always so loving and funny. Always hugged you and told you he loved you, when Shelly asked if he could move in with us, I did not hesitate because he needed us, I felt it in my heart. He was doing so good had a good job he loved with our good friends at Paschall apartments and a wonderful, sweet relationship with his girlfriend Kim. As Shelly said he was rewriting his story and it was going to be great. I am very saddened and actually angry he is gone way to soon I will miss his smile and his loving hugs.
Rest in peace my sweet cousin you will be sadly missed by all. Our home will never be the same without you.

Donnie, my firstborn, Mama’s boy was such a big hearted, fun loving guy. His life hasn’t always been easy. He made some poor choices in his life that he always regretted and was truly sorry for everyone he had hurt and wronged even though he was the one who hurt the most.
His last few months has been the happiest he has been in years. He had a warm comfortable home with his cousins Luanne and Shelly. His relationship with his sister Mandy was going super well. He dearly loved his girlfriend Kim and had big hopes and dreams for the future. He loved spending as much time as possible with family but especially his pride and joy, Dalton, his son.
He got me hooked on the Detroit Lions and Michigan Wolverines football. We watched their games together almost every weekend. He was tickled that I was the one to cheer and rant the loudest. I will continue to watch the games in his honor.
The only drawback to keeping him totally content was being diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. He loved sweets and therefore made it harder to control.
Donnie had ways of showing his love in many ways. A couple of months ago he left a stone with the word love written on it in my garden. I didn’t see it for a few days but it sure made my heart swell when I found it.
My heart is broken and there are no words to describe how lost I am and how much I miss him. He is always on my mind and forever in my heart.
RIP Mama’s boy. Until we meet again. I love you and miss you.

I just found out from my son Dave that Donnie was always Batman. Dave had to be Superman because no one wanted to be Robin. I do remember Donnie wearing a Batman costume and Dave wearing a Superman costume. Memories come and go but Donnie's hugs and love for his Kim and his son Dalton will always have a place in my heart. He loved his family and that was the best that anyone could ask for. Love Aunt Betty

Even as little kids, I knew Donnie had something special. The way he loved. I loved spending time with him and playing football and baseball and riding bikes. Julie and I being the backup singers for him and David, while they pretended to be KISS.
Even when he was gone, we stayed in touch. Talking about his future and the way it would be different this time. And, he was doing it!! He was happy and making great choices, rewriting his story. We had so many plans for fun adventures. I will still carry out those adventures for him.
I am missing you so much, but I'm going to take your great example of loving others and share your love with everyone. I LOVE YOU ❤️

Donnie always made me feel loved. He loved every one. Anytime the kids and I saw him he always asked how our day was. How are we all doing and the conversation always ended with love you guys. The day before his passing he reminded me I am strong like my mother. I will forever remember this comment because it means so much to me. I will forever be missing you. We love you so much. Love, the Williams.

Donnie is my best friend and always will be. We had some great times together with many laughs and heartache. He was that one friend who was always there for me when I needed him the most and vice versa. His memory will live on through my heart forever. I will love and miss you always bestie.

Q: What was Donald like as a child?
A: Donnie was always special to me. He and my son Dave played Batman and Robin and always argued about who was who. I cant remember for sure but I think Dave usually was Batman and Donnie was Robin. They were inseparable growing up., and Donnie was always a happy boy and still had that infectious smile whenever you saw him as an adult. I will miss his laughter and his sense of humor.
Whenever you saw him he would always say he loved you and give a big hug. He was looking forward to spending time with family for the holidays. I will miss him so much. R.I.P. Donnie Love you Aunt Betty
