Donald Edward Deener, Jr.

Donald Edward Deener, Jr., a.k.a "Deeno", age 56 of Vine Grove, Kentucky passed away Friday, September 28, 2018. He was a man who revolved his life around his BabySweet and G-Babies. He was a family man who loved being the life of the party. Donnie was a dedicated benefit donator and crusader. He would bleed red for his Louisville Cardinals. He loved craft beers, bourbon whiskey, Harley bikes and fast cars, with the top down, music blaring classic rock with the wind blowing in his hair. He enjoyed collecting and dipping his toes in the ocean, his suntan glowing. He was enthusiastic about Derby and loved festivals, fishing and cruises. Donnie always greeted you with a positive outlook and you were lucky if you received a "Deeno-Pun". Donnie was preceded in death by his father, Donald E. Deener, Sr.; brother, Rick Deener; his grandmother, Granny Niser; Bobby Head, who Donnie considered a dad; and numerous motorcycle and musician buddies.

Donnie is survived by his BabySweet, Lauren Ashley Eckrote (Tony); his g-babies, Ezrah, Atticus and Harrison; his mother, Thelma Mae Hatfield; brother, Dennis Deener (Brenda Fox); mother-in-law, Doris Head; sisters, Barbi Deener and Jennifer Deener; nephews, Richard Deener and Alberto Deener; nieces, Rosa Deener and Parker Reeves; half-brother, Michael Deener; his Huggie, Debbie Head; Lisa King, his companion of six years; members of the Cunningham and Head Families; and a host of family and friends.

Visitation will be 3-6 pm Friday, October 5, 2018 at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals and Receptions, East Louisville Chapel, 235 Juneau Drive in Middletown, with a celebration of Donnie's life at 6pm. The family requests a red and black theme for this celebration.

Donnie would want you to remember that he died because his heart was too big and he knew ya'll would carry on and rock on until we can party again.

Memorials may be made to the Semi-Colon Foundation, the Harley Davidson Foundation, Toys for Tots, School of Rock, or the Lupus Foundation.
