Donald "Donnie" Frederick Flowers III's Obituary
Donald Frederick Flowers, 37, of Chanute passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, June 2, 2022. Donnie was born on June 14, 1984, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Walter and Sheila (Russell) Flowers.
Donnie grew up in a few places, but graduated from high school in Girard. Growing up, Donnie really loved getting in the dirt and playing with Hot Wheels in the backyard with his brothers. As an adult, Donnie enjoyed working on cars and remodeling his house. Donnie also really liked to help others by fixing broken things that people would bring to him.
Some of the fondest memories his wife Amanda had of Donnie, were taking random trips with him on his motorcycle, and seeing how happy and at peace he was when he was spending time with her, his son Aiden and his step-daughter Camry. Donnie will always be remembered as the type of person that would give the shirt off of his back to those in need and for bringing laughter and joy to all of those who knew him.
