Donnie was a lifelong member of the Assemblies of God and attended Perryville First Assembly of God. He was born in Harvey Arkansas on February 8, 1945. His Father became a preacher when Donnie was very young. He lived all over Arkansas as a preacher’s kid. He served in the Arkansas National Guard. He was an officer with the Benton Police Department for seven years. He then began a career in Parts and Service for several dealerships in Central Arkansas. His Father began pastoring at Houston Assembly of God in the late seventies where he met his wife Beverly Cleaver. They later married and Haley Jane was born. She was truly a Daddy’s girl from the beginning. Donnie was an avid sports fan. He rarely missed a game if the Razorbacks, St. Louis Cardinals, or Dallas Cowboys were playing. He loved Southern Gospel music and traveled many miles to see his favorite group The New Hinsons sing. Donnie always joked that he had 3 wives (Cleaver sisters). Beverly was his soulmate and mother to his child. Kimberly was his nurse and shopping buddy. Liesa was his cook. Donnie’s entire world revolved around his precious grandchildren Lynleigh and Logan. They stayed with Pawpaw and Mawmaw every weekend and he insured they were in church every Sunday. He loved them with all his heart. The family would like to thank Dr. Tyrone Lee for taking such good care of Donnie for over 10 years and becoming a friend to him. Donnie made friends everywhere he went. His infectious smile will be missed. He was a special man that will be missed by so many. Donnie loved Jesus and because of this we will see him again one day. Rest in Christ my love.
