Donny Giese

Donny worked at multiple workshops in both Allegheny and Butler Counties, most recently being the PARC Workshop in Butler. Donny took pride in going to work, making friends and collecting a paycheck for his favorite things, Pepsi and ice cream.

Donny was easily the life of any party. He loved singing “karaoke style,” dancing and watching WPXI news. Donny treasured spending time with his family, traveling and going to camp. Donny especially enjoyed attending his church. He was always sure to have a smile on his face and a hug to share with anyone. Donny will truly be missed, but leaves everybody with pleasant, happy memories.

Surviving are his three brothers, Edward Giese of Pittsburgh, Theodore Giese of Pittsburgh and Charles (Lisa) Giese of Cabot, and his three sisters, Melva Day of Ohio, Marie Cain of Florida and Roberta Wilson of Ohio.
