In his free time, Donald found great joy in fishing. Whether by a quiet lake or on the banks of a river, he found peace in nature and cherished the moments spent outdoors. His love of fishing reflected his patient spirit and appreciation for life’s simple pleasures. His legacy of kindness, service, and love will continue to live on through those who knew and loved him. Donald will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.
