Donnal Downey

Donnal was amazingly smart, even as a child. He always wanted to experiment and try something new. He was also a prankster. He loved to joke and have fun.

He was baptized at Saint Thomas Baptist Church at an early age. His relationship with the Lord and his love for family and friends prompted him to send daily devotions and scriptures to many people over the years.

His first job was at Community Pizza working with owners Noreen and Mark Smith. His next job was at Mahony Pizza with Tony Whynder. Donnal then branched out and became an entrepreneur himself and created Country Boys Property Maintenance.

Donnal was a big man with a very big heart. He was always doing something for others, such as feeding the homeless, hosting community barbecues, and distributing school supplies and Christmas packages for children.

He is survived by his Parents: Lorne and Marcella Williams. Children: Marcell Vinnedge, Jaliyah & Jayrece Scarrow, Romell & Rashawn Allison, Kiana Downey and Santina James. Grand Children: Mauve Scarrow, Janiesha and Jareece James; Weston, Westaijah and Weston Jr. Brown. Brothers: Christopher (Tannis), Antonio and Marchello. Many sisters and brothers from other mothers and fathers. God Parents: Marilyn and William Byard, Layton Smith and Mark Beals. God Children: Mylah Cain, Autumn Downey, Mosiah Gabriel, Clayon Loh, Mandell Smith, Jenei Trainer, Tristan Mc Gregor

He was predeceased by his daughter Mikayla Downey.

He was loved by so many and he will be missed by even more.
