Donald Timothy Hornish, 59, of Somerville, AL passed away on May 3, 2025. Donald was born in Wauseon, Ohio to Donald and Nancy (Birtcher) Hornish. He was married to his wife Lisa for 38 years and had two sons. He served for 21 years in the Air Force as a Cyber Systems Superintendent and achieved the rank of Master Sergeant. He was stationed at many locations around the world including Japan, The United Kingdom, Hawaii, and Greece. He retired in 2010 and moved on to become a systems administrator for the Boeing Corporation in Colorado and Texas before transferring to Alabama in 2019. He was an avid woodworker, fisherman, golfer, chef, photographer, and hiker. Throughout his life he was a dedicated Christian, often focusing in the music ministry. From founding a men’s barbershop quartet in 1994 to being choir and congregational music director at various churches, he always tried to be involved at his local church.
