He was my best friend. I'm thankful that he had several others. He was my every/every other day friend to share just anything with. Funny, serious, concerning, work. We had so much fun together over the years, and we were there for each other. That's what friends do. I will miss that tremendously. I loved him dearly!
You were his family that he loved dearly. I can't imagine the pain and loss that you are feeling. My heart breaks for each of you. Mr Don and Mrs Alice, you both created an amazing son that meant so much to SO many. I know you're proud of him and that you both loved him SO much. I'm praying for God to wrap his arms around your entire family and provide peace and comfort. Much love to you all. We WILL see him on the flip side.
Gone too soon.
Prayers for the family
Prayers for the entire Trexlar family in this time of sorrow. May God guide you during this time.
I will never forget the kindness you showed me back at Alltel. You taught me some very important lessons and one thing that stuck with me is your great personality- I loved how you interacted with everyone and that made such a positive impression on new team members. I love how we wished each other on our birthdays and I can’t believe our last conversation was indeed the last yet so funny. I thought very highly of you and so sad you aren’t with us anymore—Rest in peace my friend. Soul is never born and never dies so I take comfort that your spirit lives on.

Dear Family, Linda and I wish to express our heartfelt condolences in the passing of Donnie. He was a longtime dear friend to our daughter, Gena Manning of Conway. She loved him very much and will miss him dearly. They had fun together, doing things they both loved, like taking trips, shopping, decorating for holidays. Please know that you have our prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are for Donnie's family and all the many friends whose lives he touched.
Donnie was the perfect example of how people should be. He was warm, kind, smart, funny, sincere, a true friend, and unapologetically his genuine self. Regardless of how long it had been since you'd last seen him, within 5 minutes of the next time, it seemed like it had just been the day before. I was blessed to know him for 25+ years and in that time he was always someone who could make people smile. He told the best stories about his adventures and had the gift of making anyone he was around feel special and cared for. I will miss my friend so very much.
My condolences to all of Donnie's family, friends and co-workers. Donnie was a bright light that shined anywhere he went. Anytime I talked to Donnie he would always make me laugh and leave with a smile. He will be missed!
To Donnie's family, my heartfelt condolences in the sudden passing of Donnie. He was a great neighbor and friend. We all will miss him dearly.
I went to school with Donnie at West Memphis Christian. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I pray for peace and comfort that only God can provide.
Donnie will be missed by everyone that knew him. I feel blessed to have been a small part of his life. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.
