Fond memories of a former college roommate and fellow attorney. Donnie always treated those around him, whether younger or of a different temperament, with respect. His smile and sense of fairness were constant. All honor to his name.

Will always remember Don´s contagious smile and quick, witty take on life and the things around us growing up in Kingsport. He always had a positive comment and a person would feel better after meeting him. I will miss him.

Donnie was a wonderful man! I´m so thankful that I could call him a dear friend for all these years - he was always willing to help me when mom, dad, and Tom passed away. Many prayers for his dear family. And, he was The Best all Around!!

A wonderful Christian gentleman, superb lawyer, completely devoted to his family. I enjoyed his wit and skill as a raconteur . It was a blessing to know him.

Donnie
Was a good friend in high school as well as a fellow athlete. Many trips carpooling from our practices and games. We lost contact for several years but we caught up after the passing of my mother and using him for professional services.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed!
Sincerely
Scott (Scotty) Warren
