Donato was a modern day Renaissance man; a jack of all trades. His devotion to his faith and his family were his great passion and inspirations in life. He enjoyed gardening, specifically tending to his vegetable patch (chili's, tomatoes, bitter melon, etc.), playing chess, and karaoke. Along with his hobbies, his ambition to succeed as an entrepreneur gave many people the opportunity to attend his conferences and listen to his inspirational story of encouragement and motivation. Through this, he has met and touched many lives.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Delia, of 33 years; his six children: Allan (Amanda), Voltaire (Joyce), Donna Carmela, Lazaro (Eden), Ultradon, and Donna Dehl (Paul); twelve grandchildren: Caitlin, Gavin, Ava, Keedan, Brooke, Jovolynn Mai, Chloe, Kayla, Enzo, Asia, Legend, and Londyn; his mother, Engracia; eight siblings: Alexander, Edwin, Ederlinda (Felino), Flordeliza, Roberto (Amelita), Wilma, Rowena (Robertson), Imelda (Romualdo); and his many nieces and nephews.
