Donald Ray ''Donny'' Woods, 60, of North Little Rock (Marche Community) passed away on Monday, July 29, 2024 at Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock. He was born September 20, 1963 in Little Rock to the late Thomas Moore ''Woody'' Woods and Jackie Sue (Kelley) Woods.
Donny was a 1981 graduate of Oak Grove High School in Marche; where he played both offence and defense football for the Hornets and was on teams that went to win the 1981 AA State Playoffs. He was a collector of Mustangs and hot rods and his vintage Broncho.
He was employed by Davis Transfer and Trucking and was considered by the Davis family as extended family; he really enjoyed working for them.
To say he loved anything outdoors was an understatement. An avid fisherman, he loved hunting and frog gigging. Spending endless days on Peckerwood Lake, Grassy Lake and the Arkansas River boating and living his best life. He spent many days of deer season at S&S Hunting Club at Bills Town, Arkansas among other hunting clubs. Regular days he spent at the ''farm'' on Jendrejas Road in Marche. He was known to put on fish fries for his family and friends.
Donny loved his family and leaves to cherish his many memories he created throughout his life his son, Tyler Woods and husband, Jordan Koonce of Little Rock; his daughter, Hayley Dawn Woods of Cabot, Arkansas; his mother, Jackie Woods of North Little Rock; his grandson, John Thomas ''J. T.'' of Cabot, Arkansas; his brother, Ron ''Bubba'' Woods of North Little Rock; a very special aunt, Celesta Waters of North Little Rock and cousins, John Waters and Jennifer and children, Reed and Carson; Tammy Goldberg and Sean and children, Kelley, Reigh Anne, Josey and Kasey; nieces, Brittany York and Andy; McKenzie Lawrence and Hagan; great nephews, Madden and Knox York; great-nieces, Gracie Mae, Charlotte ''Charlie'' Rose and Frankie Rey who is on-the-way and a host of special friends who enjoyed spending time hunting, fishing, hanging out and grabbin' a beer. Donny made an impression on so many who loved him and will be deeply missed.

Marche's finest. Donny was a pillar of the community. He was a good man. Never minded helping a friend. He recently helped me take a couple garage doors down in a building I was salvaging. He refused to take any money for helping. Very few good men like Donny Woods left in this world. I delivered his favorite beverage later since he wouldn't accept payment. The Lord took a good man home. I'm proud to be able to say I was his friend. May he rest in peace.
