Donald was born in Athens, Tennessee, to the late Marshall Reed Haney and Kittie Sue Haynes Haney. He lived most of his life in the Rossville area and was a faithful and devoted member of Cloud Springs Baptist Church. A dedicated Christian, Donald loved the Lord with all his heart and faithfully served Him throughout his life.
