Donny's quiet kindness made our St Michael's class all the more memorable. He always defended the smaller guy, was our quarterback for the Tybee Dolphins, and lightened the mood during the more miserable duties of the parochial student. He taught me the tricks of altar service and we spent many a morning cracking each other up. The incense sensor incident is altar-boy legend. We are lucky to have him in our lives. Condolences to his Family and Friends.

I went to Saint Michael's, BC, and played football with Donny. I remember him as a great athlete and humble friend that was kind to everyone. I also remember Donny as being the most conscientious alter server. One time I recall that he filled up the incense, lit it off, and almost smoked us out of Saint Michael's. Father Payne sat there looking stunned. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, and I'm very sad.

Our prayers are with you all family and friends!For all of the interesting and funny story with him in the middle...THANK YOU GOD!

I am still in shock and so sad. I hadn't talked to Donny in a while, but I still considered him a friend. We went to St. Michael's, BC and St. Andrew's together, not to mention being on the lacrosse team, being alter servers and just hanging out at his house. Plus all the rides we took in that orange Pinto!! I miss you man.

Jeannine, Donny was a very kind and caring soul. It was obvious that he loved and adored you. He cared deeply for Lainey and your family. Grief is difficult, no right or wrong way. Your memories and love of Donny will get you through. I am always ready to listen when needed. Love and prayers, June

I've often thought about Donny when l listen to some of the music and read some of the books he introduced me to at a young age. My deepest sympathies are with the family.

I taught Donnie at St. Michael's many years ago. He was in my Reading Class. I am broken-hearted over his loss. He was a fine young man. May the Good Lord Bless and Keep you all in your time of mourning.

- Terri Patillo, SAVANNAH, GA

Donny made a great impact on my life. He was always there for me. Donny was a true friend that I shall miss everyday of my life. My deepest sympathies go out to his family who I know miss him as well. Donny, you were the most loyal friend that I ever had and I will miss your humor and the way you cheered me up. You taught me more than anyone about true friendship! I love you buddy. I look forward to the day we meet again in heaven and have a Blue Moon together.

So sorry for your loss...Amity and I grew up next door to the Fobes playing and running wild on the beaches and all over Tybee! We had a blast man! We had an amazing youth and having the Fobes next to Amitys house added so much more fun! Donny was always very funny and kind of quiet and always a sweet soul. Everyone stay strong and become closer in times like this ....love heather roach

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost touch with your family other than occasionally seeing Joel from time to time, but have vivid memories of Donny as a child playing at Tybee. I always liked your family very much and regret that your going through this. I lost my brother Danny last month at the age of 49 and these untimely deaths are so hard to understand. I hope that you all take comfort in knowing that as difficult as it is to see right now, Donny is in a better place and as long as everyone continues to celebrate the joy he brought to so many people throughout his life, he will live on in everyone who carries him in their hearts. Thoughts and prayers from the entire McCutchen family.
