Words from Abigail:  Donald "Donny" James Krajnyak, a Son, Brother, Uncle, and Father, was born on January 10th 1978.   In death, he'll be joining three of his best companions, Spud, Brasko, and Tracy.  He was a painter, who worked day and night to provide for his kids, Abigail Jewl Krajnyak, Dakota Jade Anderson, and Cody Scott Anderson. Even after they split, he was always there for the mother of his kids, Cheyanne Puaokalani Anderson.    His advice has helped a tremendous amount of people throughout his lifetime. His hobbies included shooting pool with his daughters, his Father, and his Sister. He really started playing when he visited his parents, Steve Krajnyak, and Linda Parker.  Donny is a man loved by many, most people usually like him from the jump, because of his comedic character, intellect, and respect for others.   We know he's still by our side, and will always be, that's just who he is. He didn't just love us with his heart and body, he loved us with his soul, just in case his heart and body didn't work anymore. May his heart, body, mind, and soul rest in peace. Words from Dakota:  My father passed away a hero, and I will never forget the sacrifices he made that night for the people he truly loved.  He was an amazing father, the best son, best BF to my mother, and the best soul to have ever been around.  He always had a very contagious smile.  I loved going out every Friday night and playing pool with him.  Our bond will never be broken, I love my dad so much.  He has been painting for one of his buddy's for a long time, and he was thinking about starting up his own company.  He was the most creative, honorable, smartest, dependable, and loving man that I have ever known.  You were taken from us on October 6, 2024, and my heart feels empty without you.  He never deserved any of that, and I am sorry that it was you dad.  I love you so much, and I miss you as you will forever be in my heart and mind.  He has made me the person that I am today, and I will continue to make him proud until I get to see him on the other side.  Steve, Linda, Mama, Abby, Myself, Autumn, David, Taylor, Justin, and Teresa, we will all forever miss you.  Dad I wish you had not been taken from us so soon.  May your soul forever rest in paradise.  I love you Dad.
