Donald Ivan McGinley, 82, of Darlington, Misssouri was reunited with his wife Linda & children Richard Eugene & Brenda Kay on Thursday July 18, 2024.

He was born on February 02, 1942 in Fonda, Iowa to Henry & Leona McGinley.

There's nothing we can say that will truly express how great of a husband, dad, papa, brother, uncle and friend he really was. He made his living in his early years working construction during the day and farming at night. He also was the foreman of the Gentry County road and bridge crew for many years before retiring and spending the remainder of his years spoiling his cows, chickens, and family (especially the grandkids).

To know him was to love him.

He was preceded in death by his parents Henry & Leona, wife Linda, children Richard & Brenda, brothers Gene & Jerry.
