Donnie married his wife, Donna, in August of ‘86 after dating for 5 years before. He attended Harvest Community Church up until his passing & loved his church family dearly. Donnie was the president of the Fall Branch Car Club, enjoyed hanging out at Top Performance Auto shop & loved his ‘79 Camaro.

He was preceded in death by his Grandma and Grandfather Brumley; and five aunts and uncles.

Due to Covid 19, the family will be having a private graveside service at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, 2020, at Fall Branch Baptist Church with Bud Beverly and Shawn Cutshall officiating. The family requests that attendees wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Fall Branch Car Club, c/o Dewayne Price, 2102 Keeland Lane, Johnson City, TN 37615, which is something that Donnie loved & loved being able to help the Fall Branch community.

A special thank you to the nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapists at Holston Valley Hospital, on C300, for all their love & care.
