Born on March 29, 1964, in Tippah County, to the late Don and Ruth Hurt Holliday, Donnie was a graduate of Pine Grove High School and a Christian. He enjoyed riding motorcycles and spending time doing the things he loved. Above all, his grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and he treasured the time he spent with each of them.
Those left to cherish his memory include one daughter, Shana Flores (Michael) of Bartlett, TN; two sisters, Tracy Walker (Ken) of Ripley and Misty Cox; four grandchildren, Braydn Coleman, Haiden Rakestraw, Maddox Reno, and Harper Flores; and his stepmother, Paula Holliday of Ripley.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one son, J.D. Holliday.
