 Donnie was born on July 16, 1963, in Dayton, Ohio, the son of Donald Sr. and Gloria (Burch) O'Dette.  He had a degree in HVAC Repair, but his passion was music and playing the drums.  Those who had the opportunity to hear Donnie play will never forget that experience. 

Survivors include his daughters, Alexis, Samantha, and Jessica O'Dette, all of Davenport; his sister, Kathy (David) Huff of Davenport; and his grandchildren, Jayson Willers, Mario, Mia, Laura, and Maci Herrera.  Also surviving are several nieces and nephews.  Not to forget his "fur buddy", Baby the Wonder Cat.

Donnie was preceded in death by his father and mother, as well as his brothers, Rick and Kevin O'Dette.

Memorials may be made to the family.
