Donny was a longtime resident of Hines Creek & Eureka River.
Donny was born 6th of 11 children, raised on the Velichka homestead west of Hines Creek.

Donny & Glee welcomed their daughter Wrenda in November 1976, followed by sons Corey in 1978 & Brandon in 1980. Donny had a long career as a truck driver where he earned the nickname “Hawkeye”

Donny enjoyed camping, a good game of horseshoes, telling jokes, & most important family time, Donny was very proud of his grandchildren & great grandchildren. If you’ve ever been to one of his grandkids’ sporting events you would hear the passion in his heckling.

Donny was predeceased by his parents Steve & Anne, in laws Jack & Hazel Bean, brother Corey & sister Virginia.
