    Have had so many fun memories since learning about Donald. All the best times the 4 Withrows and 2 Brooks were together. He was a great man with a great sense of humor. So happy we had so many years together. But the cats up stairs better watch out. My Prayers, Thoughts, Love, and Hugs are with all of you.

    What a great influence on my life. Kyle and I are very close friends and I am very grateful to have known both of his wonderful parents. What kind and loving people. Don always listened and laughed at my jokes even when they were not funny. He was a great man I will never forget.

    Today, I just saw on FB, that Donald Gene had passed away. My name is Betty Dockery Gonzalez, My mother, was a Reagan, The Withrows and Reagans were very close. Donald and I grew up together, and were friends. We attended West Shady Grove Church when we were young. He was a wonderful person so thoughtful and kind. I was blessed to have known him.
