Dionne & Family I am so sorry. Facebook pictures of the two of you always made me smile. Donnie helped me get started exercising with his "LIVE" treadmill sessions. Being busy I had not been on FB in recent months but kept exercising. On 8/26/2021 I thought of Donnie and said to myself I need to let him know I've dropped 25lbs following his lead. Also realized I had not seen any posts from him lately. I was shocked and heartbroken of my findings. Having never met either of you I've always admired you two as the most beautiful couple. Blessings Always Dionne. And again I am so very sorry! 🌷🙏🏽 Jan Chambers, Phoenix AZ.

Donnie Kirksey I chose a purple candle because the color represents royalty and that word royalty belongs to you. This is Mick, as you would call me and the name that Juice and Juwaun would always remember me by. Your passing has affected a world of people including me because you showed love and light in this earth. Well done good and faithful servant. RIH Donnie . I'm praying for peace, comfort, and joy for your family, friends, co workers and anyone whom knew you. Blessings Michelle Yarbrough
