Donnie graduated from Live Oak High School in 1991. He was a beloved father, brother, son, an honorably discharged Marine and a member of Morgan Hill Bible Church. Donnie was an avid photographer who enjoyed paint balling, playing volleyball and video games. Donnie was known for having a great sense of humor, or as he would love to say, “A sardonic wit.” He also had many good friends and neighbors who cared for him deeply.
In October of this year, Donnie began attending Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura. His dream of a career in photography was cut short, but we believe that God must have had a different plan. It is with peace we let him go.
Donnie is survived by grandparents Georgia Nelson, Doris Freeman and Edward Freeman; parents Dana and Bettie Nelson; siblings and spouses Rachelle Siefken (Steve), Danielle Causin (Clay), Michelle Siefken (Eric), Robert Nelson (Sarah); nieces Crysta and Callista Causin, and Charlotte Siefken; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather Donald Edward Nelson.
Memorial service takes place at 2pm Sunday, Dec. 26, at Morgan Hill Bible Church.
