Donnie was a man that always loved to stay busy. He did many things over his life, including driving a truck, working at Jerry David Enterprise, owning and operating D&D Towing, and co-owning Whistle Stop Café with his wife.

Donnie had a witty sense of humor and kept everyone laughing that was around him. Donnie was a great friend to many people. Donnie also liked to go camping and fishing.

He is survived by his wife, Sue; daughter, Michele (Tim) Hardin; son, Robert Stallings; grandchildren, Braxton, Nick, and Joey; sisters, Linda (Rick) Word and Tammy Tsimurdis; brother, John (Evelyn) Stallings; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
