It is with a heavy heart that we wish the MacLeod family our sincere condolences. Donnie was a true and loyal friend who was kind and generous to all. He had a quiet dignity, wonderful sense of humor, and was respected by everyone lucky enough to know him. We are better off because of who and what he was. I will cherish the memories. Rest in peace my friend.
