Donnie attended Summerville High School in Summerville, SC and worked to receive his GED in 1982. As an adult, Donnie excelled as a retail operations manager for companies like Publix, Valerio's Appliances, and Office Depot.

By all who knew him, Donnie will be remembered for his hard work and dedication, his kindness and his helpfulness. He was considered a friend by so many and was a father figure to many others who needed it. Donnie will be missed greatly and memories of him will be cherished forever. He loved a lot of things in life; football, nascar, and deer hunting were among his favorites, but the thing he loved the most was his family.
