My family would like to extend our deepest sympathy.  We will most certainly miss his amazing smile and uplifting spirit.  His stay on earth has come to an end because obviously God needed to bring another of his angels home.

I can remember days of Donald's
smiling face down at the soup-kitchen. And never a complaint.
Always willing to get along with everyone he came in contact with, he may have had his dislikes, but for the most
part, he tried to get along with everyone.

Sincerest sympathies on your loss.  He was a wonderful boy (sorry I knew him in school...) who was always smiling and happy and was well-liked.  I'm sure all those who loved him will miss that part of him tremendously.  Many of the Class of 1987 are expressing their sympathies on Facebook.  Please just know that we are all thinking of you and your loss!
