“Donnie watched over us for nearly 50 years. He saved hundreds of lives and made the world a better place. He was humble and thought that he was just doing his job. Donnie ultimately gave his life protecting our community. He was our hero, our brother, our friend. He was a hero, but not for how he died but how he lived.” (Connie Magorty, February 21, 2024)
