During his military career, Donnie and family were stationed at numerous military outposts including; Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Polk, Louisiana, Mannheim, Germany, the Panama Canal Zone, Fort Benning, Georgia, and Korea. He moved back home to Altus in the early 90's where he worked for the Bar-S company and later went to work for the City Altus in the Sanitation Department and he retired in 2013. He was a member of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Altus and a member of the Mason's. Donnie enjoyed fishing, OU sports, the Dallas Cowboys, and he was known for keeping a well-manicured lawn.
