Donald Mckinney

Donald Eugene McKinney, 81, of Concord, passed away on May 6, 2022, at his home in Concord, NC.

He was born on August 10, 1940, to James and Pearl (Bruce) McKinney in Union Town, PA. Donald worked as a teacher for 38 years after which he retired. He was known for being a hard worker and having a heart of gold.  Donald was always there when you needed him, and he always put others before himself.  He was a loving husband, father, and he absolutely adored his grandchildren.  In his spare time, he would be found writing award winning poems that to this day are still near and dear to his family's heart.  Throughout his life his love and devotion to his family and Jesus Christ never wavered and for that many lives were touched by him.   Donald will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
