Never forget the times on range 17 late nights. Playing cards and eating chili with mike. Nothing bonds like card cheating and heartburn. Miss you pal.
Donnie was an outstanding role model to all. When I went into training he took me under his wing
and never failed to teach me something. Always with a smile and often with a laugh.. My sincerest condolences to the his entire family and many friends He will be sorely missed.
Donnie Smith was a great person. I considered him family. He was my deacon for many years. He was so good to go and see my mom Mandy Bullard when she was in the hospital and call her at home . My mom thought he was the greatest .he was my husband best man.when we got married in June 10 1989. He and Dee Dee were family. Heaven gained another angel. He will be missed. Ann Price
