Donny was a kind and loving friend who loved the Lord, his wife, his children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, and everyone he met. I observed for years that he was devoted, interested, and closely tied to those he cared for. To all the Neels, you have my sympathy, but we know Don is with his Heavenly Father and loving what is ahead for him there.

Don was a friend since teen years through The Church of Christ, always kind & caring.  I think the last time we saw him was when he, Pam, Jon & Brenda were visiting Columbia, TN for the annual mule festival.  Blessings to his family & loved ones.✝️ Connie & Bob Hill
