Donald David Dowell

Donald David Dowell, age 62, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2026, at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on September 10, 1964, to Lillie Dowell and the late Henry Dowell, Donald was a man who lived with quiet strength and valued the simple, meaningful things in life. He showed his love through his actions, always placing the comfort and well-being of his family at the heart of what mattered most.

Donald is survived by his devoted mother, Lillie Dowell; his daughters, Jamye Dowell and Brittany Dowell, their mother, DeAnn Dowell, his three cherished grandsons: David, Christopher, and Ares; his loving sister, Donna Arnold and her husband, James and their three children; his stepsisters, Lea Helms, Amanda Helms and Laura Lawson and their children.

Donald's quiet presence, steady heart, and devotion to those he loved will be deeply missed by his family, extended family, chosen family, and the close friends who stood by him. Though his time with us was far too short, the love he shared and the memories he leaves behind will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
