Donnie didn’t know a stranger and was a genuine, one-of-a-kind man, friend, husband, father and grandfather. He had some of the wildest fish stories, but often caught the fish to back up his tales. Donnie was a straight shooter when it came to hunting and taught his skills to his children who he loved to take deer hunting.
The family of Donnie invites you to a Celebration of Life for him at their family home, 2814 Cumming Road Van Meter, IA 50261, on Saturday, June 12th from 1:00-5:00pm. They would like to encourage you to come with a favorite story to share in a book they will be putting together in his memory.
