Here on earth Donnie was blessed with a wonderful wife and three strong sons. And we all were blessed just knowing such a truly good and joyful, hard-working man. And now he rests in the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Bless you, Donnie.

I am so sorry to hear that Donnie passed away.
I worked with Donnie at DFA-Revenue. I remember when he and Susan got married and when each boy was born. He was so proud! He loved his family and told some of the funniest stories as the boys grew up.
May God's love and grace comfort you. God bless.

Susan and Boys,

So sorry to read that Donnie had passed away. You know we worked together for 30 plus years. He cared for his family in a very special way. We talked of all of you, especially when Aiden was added to the family, and also of Ashley.

Thoughts and Prayers continue for the family.

I worked with Donnie at the Department of Finance and Administration for many years, and I was always impressed by his hard work and dedication to the job. Donnie always stressed over every little detail in a work project, and he was never satisfied until every i was dotted and every t was crossed. He would sometimes get a little ribbing for overly focusing on everything, but he never seemed to mind because he knew that he was doing his job. I loved working with Donnie, and my sympathies go out to his family and friends. Rest well, brother, and we'll see you down the road.

Susan and Family and Gary:
It's been awhile, so sorry to hear of Donnie's passing. I'm stunned and not sure what to say.

Donnie and I met in our first semester as freshmen at UALR (fall 1972) and hit it off with a friendship. Donnie was one of my groomsman when Virginia and I got married in 1977. We attended your wedding, then we moved to NE Arkansas, back and to the Dallas area and we lost touch.
Though college it was Donnie, Ed, me , Roderick, , a couple of guys he went to high school with at McClelland, Glenn, Mike and our girl friends that ran together. After college we added Mike Munns.
Donnie beat me to retirement, he was a good friend, a good man. I have many good memories of Donnie, hope you will cherish those too.

Find comfort in Jesus.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

God bless you all,
Stanley & Virginia Pollard
