d. December 4, 2016
Donnie Eathen Hartley, age 65, a resident of Lucedale, passed away Sunday, December 4, 2016 in Gulfport.

Donnie was a legend among mortal men. He never met a stranger, once he walked up to you and firmly shook your hand, you knew you had just been introduced to a man that has been around the world, a few more times than you. You instantly wanted to know more, and you were about to.
Donnie was the man that men wanted to be. The father you wanted for you own, and if yours didn't measure up, he would gladly adopt you into the fold. He was Big Papa, The protector, The Leader of the Pack, The Straw Boss, The Motivator, The man, The Myth, The Legend.
Donnie Hartley was an incredible husband to his queen and loving wife, Mary Hartley. He made it his mission to make Mary feel beautiful and loved each and every day. He loves her. "" Always has, Always Will.''
Donnie served in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a professional truck driver for 45 years with his Polish Princess at his side. Employed with Coach's Cedar Creek Farm in Lucedale. He loved storytelling, jokes, singing, fishing, hunting, motorcycling and spending time with his family and grandchildren. Donnie was of Christian faith.
