Don T “Donnie” Hammontree lll, a devoted husband, father, and cherished friend, passed away on January 10, at the age of 60.
Donnie lived a life marked by kindness, strength, and unwavering dedication to his family. Above all else, he was a loving dad. His son, Zach, was his greatest pride, and he showed his love not just through words, but through constant support, laughter, guidance, and presence. He was always there to offer advice, cheer from the sidelines, and simply listen when it mattered most.
In 1996, Donnie made the life-changing decision to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Donnie had a generous heart and a warm spirit. He found joy in the simple things; spending time with family, trips to Orange Beach and watching the Tide Roll.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 30 years, Stacie; his son, Zach, and daughter-in-law, Dakota; his brother, Stevie; his brother-in-law, Quinton, sister-in-law, Stephanie and niece, Mylee; and many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.
Though our hearts are heavy, we are grateful for the time we shared with him and the legacy of love he leaves behind. His example will live on through his family and all those whose lives he impacted.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday January 13, at Valley Funeral Home from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM CST. Following a graveside service with Brother Dustin Henshaw officiating on Wednesday January 14, at 11:00 AM CST.
Donnie will be deeply missed and forever loved.
