He attended St. Luke's Grade School, and Washington High School in Two Rivers, graduating with the class of 1971. On May 21, 1993, he married the former Teresa Hedman at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Two Rivers. Donny worked as a machinist for over 35 years at Oil Rite Corp. of Manitowoc.

He is further survived by his mother-in-law, Marjorie Barta of Two Rivers; brothers and sisters which include: Virginia, and her partner, Linda of California; Sandra (Leonard) Ouradnik, Mishicot; Gloria (Stephen) Zietlow, Manitowoc; David (Kim) Gilbert, Homer, Alaska; Bette (Dr. Glenn) Popp, Manitowoc; Linda (Ted) Taddy, Two Rivers; Theresa (Brian) Presl, Mishicot; three brothers-in-law, Dave (Connie) Hedman, Two Rivers; Mike (Karen) Hedman, Manitowoc; Lee (Kristy) Hedman, Two Rivers; many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and a good friend, Gordy Bowen of Two Rivers.

The family will greet relatives and friends at Deja & Martin Funeral Chapels, from 11:00 a.m. until the time of service at 1:00 p.m. Saturday. This is not our land; we are but caretakers. What we take from the Earth we must put back. What we put out we get back. We live in God's country and we are proud to call it Home.
