When Donny and Megan had their two lovely girls, they became his world. He loved his family and was a great father. His new adventures—biking, sailing, or playing cards—always ended in giggles and anecdotes. He was the girls’ favorite carpool dad and participated in their schools and activities. He often helped neighbors and was generous with his time. Donny will be remembered for his unique ability to connect with everyone.
He always showed genuine attention and made them feel important, whether you were his close friend, family member, or stranger at a Mariners game. His captivating presence set the mood in any setting, and even his obscene jokes made you laugh. Something allowed him to get away with anything. The world will be different without Donny, who altered the lives of all who knew him. As a beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and friend, he will be deeply missed. I lava you.”
