He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Vicki Campbell McKay; his two

Alabama at Birmingham. He retired from Kraft Foods where he worked for

27 years and has worked for Piggly Wiggly for the past two years. He

Methodist Church.

Donnie, along with his wife Vicki, was an avid outdoorsman who loved

hunting, fishing, and working on the land where he lived in Union

Springs. He enjoyed sharing his love of the outdoors with his friends

and family. Family was of utmost importance to him, and he especially

loved spending time with his two grandsons, ages 2 and 6 months.

Donnie possessed a kind and gentle spirit and was a humble,

compassionate Christian who shared his faith with those that were

fortunate enough to know and love him.

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, March 31 at

11:30AM with visitation starting at 9:30AM at Taylor Memorial United

Methodist Church on Sweeney Hollow Road in Clay with Reverend Todd
