I remember Donald all the way back to junior high - very sorry to hear of this loss. My prayers are with his family and especially his son, Stefan. Here's the obituary from today's News-Enterprise.

Memories....WOW do I have alot of those. Some good, some bad, but I look at the best one every day....our son. Stefan is the kind of kid that EVERY parent would love to have and I would like to take all the credit myself, but he has so many of Donald's features and strengths. I am sad at the fact that Donald will not be here to see Stefan succeed in life, but thru all of this I know that he will be watching. Donald was a carefree kind of guy and gave 2 shits what anyone thought of him, he was him. Like it or leave it! I will always remember the first time I saw him, the first kiss, the first arguement, the first everything with him. He and I both moved on in life, but he will always be special...he gave me Stefan. There are really no words to say that can express the hurt I feel for Stefan, but I do know that with Donald and I as his parents, he will overcome all odds and be more than could ever be expected of him. Donald will never be forgotten and always a part of my life.
I'm shocked. What happened to Donald? We had some interesting times together, even played in a band with each other for a while. He was a good guy and I liked him very much.
