Donny was a kind and loving soul. If you met Donny, you loved him. He always had a smile to share and a kind word to speak. He was a loyal friend and he cherished many lifelong friendships spanning from his early years at St. John De Nepomuc on to Messmer High School, Sherman Park Lutheran Church and many local theater companies where he shared his time and artistic talents. Donny was a great cook and loved to express his creativity through food. We will miss him and his special dishes at every family event. Our hearts are broken but we take comfort knowing Donny now rests in eternal peace.
