I want extend my deepest heart felt condolences to the Walker family. Don was an awesome person and an even better friend. He was my brother. We were bonded at very early age and have remained close for all these years. Writing these words are almost impossible for me because I am acknowledging that I will not hear your voice or see your face again. There are so many things I took for granted. Since we are same age, I assumed you would grow old with me. We would always have time to fish, to play golf and to just hang out. Now I know there was a different plan for you my brother. I want to thank you for always being here for me, for not telling me no and for never forgetting to reach out to me when I was too busy to reach out to you. I only hope I was half the friend to you as you were to me. My life will never be the same now that you are gone. I will miss you always until we see each other again.
I always called him ” Smiley ” he always greeted me with a big smile .such a nice guy .he will be missed dearly
I will never forget your 21st birthday. I told you I would take you to a place and you would never forget your 21st birthday. I took you to “The 10”.. omg, the look on your face was priceless. Lol.. We had so much fun. You were like a little brother to me Don
Donny was by far one of the kindest men I have ever known. He is forever loved. ߙϰߒž
We were so sorry to hear of Donny’s passing. Our condolences to all of the family.
I am so sorry to hear of Donny passing away. I use to work with him and he was always such a cool guy and easy to get along with. As a Fire Inspector now, I always got a kick seeing his name on paperwork that I was reviewing. He will be missed.
I was so shocked to hear the sad news when Steve called to tell me, he was like I can’t believe it, I said me either, you were an awesome guy, You Steve , Chapman & Chuck were all very close friends growing up through you’re all’s pre-teen through adulthood Prayers to your Family
I am heart broken to hear this news! Donny and I have been neighbors for 11 years. He was a wonderful neighbor and will be missed! My condolences to his family!
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
I still can’t believe it, One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Rest in peace Donnie..
