Donnie Wood

Mr. Donnie Wood, age 54 of Ponce deLeon passed away Wednesday, December 31, 2008 in a Pensacola hospital. He was born October 5, 1954 in DeFuniak Springs, the son of Bullie Ander Wood and Bernice Orene Griggs Wood. Donnie attended public school in the Euchee Valley Community, when it did not interfere with hunting and fishing with his school mates who often times would walk in the front door of the school and out the back. He worked as a crane operator, his first job being with Roy Cassidy. Donnie loved life, his family, his friends and the community in which he was raised and lived all of his life. In his free time Donnie was a big fan of wrestling and John Wayne movies. He loved hunting and fishing and drag racing and owned his own dragester. All indications are that Donnie was what you would call a “Southern boy”. He is predeceased by his father, a son Willis, a daughter Regina Ann, a grand daughter Haley and a sister Eldora Jean.

Among survivors are his wife, Janet Hamilton Wood. His mother, Bernice Wood Boykin. His sons, Jason Hamilton, Nicholas Wood and wife Cathy and Nathan Wood
all of Ponce deLeon. His grand daughters, Alexis and Trinity. His brothers-in-law Hilton Padgett and wife Angela. Danny Hamilton and wife Donna and Joe Hamilton and wife Connie. His sisters-in-law Vivian Bannister and husband Joe and Paula Wood and husband Nolan.
