Donnie was born on June 30th, 1958 in Detroit, Michigan. The son of Kizzie and the late Eugene Shaw. The family moved to Delaware where he went on to attend and graduate from McKean High School in 1977. There he was a starter on the basketball team. After graduating, he served in the United States Army. Then he became a mechanic at Sears, RSC, and Daisy Construction for many years. Up until recently, he spent his time landscaping and taking care of his mother. He believed in giving a helping hand when needed.
One of Donnie's favorite pastimes was fishing, whether on a boat or off a pier down state, he found much joy in that. He enjoyed barbequing, especially for holidays or when family came in from out of town. He had a green thumb and spent a lot of time in his garden.
He was predeceased by his father, Eugene Shaw. He is survived by mother, Kizzie Shaw, his children Donnell Shaw, Chelsey Hartsock, Todd Hartsock, and Tika Hartsock, his sisters Deborah Shaw and Earnette Shaw, brother James J Wilkes, and a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, 14 grandchildren, cousins, and friends.
Donnie was a man of God who attended and served at Rock of Ages for many years. He was a part of the choir and did missionary work around the church. His family meant everything to him and he loved us all dearly.
Lovingly Submitted
