Donnie was a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Lake Wylie.  He also attended Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in Supply, NC.  He loved church and was ordained as a deacon.  He served the Lord with all his heart.  He took pride in being a volunteer fireman for Bethel Volunteer Fire Department for 20 years.  Cutting grass on his John Deere mower was a favorite pastime. Donnie was a Ford man, always wearing a Ford hat or shirt. He enjoyed older westerns, particularly with John Wayne.  His happy place was at Holden Beach, NC during his retirement years and was able to see it one final time before his passing.  He rode his golf cart around the neighborhood, visiting his friends with a smile and said, “Glad you got to see me.”
