Donald 
    I miss you bro it’s been a while since you left, still on my mind everyday. The times we had will probably always be the fun and funny moments of my life.  You had a hard life with such a big heart. I’m glad I met you on the bus back in 2010 you showed me a lot about life.

Donald.  I don't know what happened or where you are, but I am heartbroken.  Your light was brighter than most of the energies walking the earth.  I had such hopes for you that your future would be so different than your familial past.  You've left behind a glowing, happy baby boy and I'm truly saddened he won't get to experience what a FUN and dynamic character you were.  God speed love, may heaven welcome you with open arms.

I first met ‘Ginger’ (my nickname for him) at Arribas, where he worked. He was nervous about making my margarita, as Hillary (main bartender) had taught him once. We talked and got to know one another and hit it off from the get go. We had this internal joke between us where he’d tell people he and I used to work together at Goodwill. I started calling him my Goodwill guy 😊 He was SO elated about his new son. A piece of me feels so broken today upon learning of Gingers passing. RIP Ginger. I will forever miss your big energetic presence and smile.
