His obituary: David Allen Donley, July 25, 1967 – August 8, 2024. David Allen Donley, born on July 25, 1967, in Dayton, Ohio, went to his heavenly home on August 8, 2024. A Sprayberry High School graduate, David owned and operated Donley's Music in Hickory Flat since 1996, where his unwavering dedication to the community was evident to all who knew him. David never met a stranger and made everyone feel like family from the moment they met him. Known for his larger than life personality, David brought laughter and joy to all who knew him. His thoughtfulness extended beyond friends and family and his patriotism was deeply rooted, stemming from immense pride as the son of an Army veteran. David's fervent love for the Lord guided him through life. Everyone could see this in the way David lived and loved. He embodied love, integrity and generosity every day of his life. An avid fisherman, David relished time spent on the water and found great fulfillment in teaching kids the joys of fishing. His legacy lives on through his family and friends. Every time someone bates a hook, strums a guitar or lends a helping hand, we hope you think of Dave and the way he lived his life.
