Donnie was lovingly referred to as "Fat Man" by those who loved him most. He was known for his kind heart and social nature, Donald had a remarkable ability to make others feel valued and important. His generosity was truly boundless, and he never hesitated to lend a helping hand, often going out of his way to brighten someone’s day. From the time Donnie was a little boy he had a love of treasure hunting and wasn't afraid to get dirty to bring those treasures home, he often referred to himself as "Dumpster Donnie".

Whether he was fixing up an old bike to give it new life or taking it out for a ride, he was in his element.
