Donald's passion for serving others led him to become a deacon at Calvary Baptist Church. During his youth, Donald showcased his musical talents as part of a quartet. Donald's military service was another significant chapter in his life. He served in the US Army for an admirable twenty years before retiring as a USA MSGT. He completed three tours of duty in Germany and one tour in Vietnam.
