In the 1990’s Donnie started the band, Southern Breeze, where he served as lead vocalist and guitarist. Through his band, he was able to share his love for people and music with audiences throughout Central Virginia. Donnie loved to see people happy and was blessed to see his music lend a measure of happiness to those who came to see him perform. Donnie loved riding his Harley Davidson with friends. He also loved his dog, Harley, his loyal companion and friend.
