Donnie was employed at the Dubuque Packing Company, FDL, Farmland, and most recently at Rite-Hite. He was an avid outdoorsman, and enjoyed pheasant hunting. His hunting dogs were special to him, and he also enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, horseshoes, and playing billiards with his family. Donnie was a humble man of few words.

He was preceded in death by his mother; three brothers in law, George DiGiacomo, Mark Hayes, and Larry Beaver; and his parents in law, John and Joan Hayes.

The family would like to thank their friends and family for the continued love and support.
