Donnie Nations

Easley, SC

Donnie Dewey Nations, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2023, at the age of 81.

Born in Cateechee, South Carolina, on January 19, 1942, he was a son of the late Dewey Wayne Nations and Mildred Childress Nations Perry.

Donnie was a proud and devoted family man, deeply treasuring the time spent with his loved ones. Throughout his life, he nurtured and cherished the bonds he shared with his wife of 61 years, Shirley Nations, their son Anthony Nations(Wanda), and his grandchildren, Courtney Azzari (Brandon), and Jesse Nations, and his great-grandchildren, Marco Azzari, Luca Azzari, Maple Nations, and June Nations, who brought him immense joy and laughter.  Also surviving is his sister Elizabeth Ann Vaughn.

A man deeply connected to nature, Donnie found solace and fulfillment in outdoor activities. As an avid hunter and fisherman, he reveled in the challenges and rewards that nature provided. Additionally, Donnie had a passion for beekeeping and took great pride in his carefully cultivated hives. He found great joy in sharing his knowledge and experiences with others, always eager to lend a helping hand.

In his leisure time, Donnie enjoyed engaging in friendly competition, whether it be engaging in a spirited game of corn hole or gathering around a bonfire, regaling his loved ones with stories and jokes. His love for music was evident, often humming or singing along to his favorite tunes, creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy wherever he went.

Funeral services to honor and celebrate Donnie’s remarkable life will be held 2:00 PM Friday at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Easley.  The family will receive friends prior to the service from 12:30 PM until 1:30 PM at Liberty Mortuary.

His rich legacy will forever be etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him and been touched by his kindness and genuine spirit. As we bid farewell to this remarkable soul, may we find solace in knowing that his memory will forever live on in our hearts.
