I just checked my message history it was 9 days ago we actually spoke. Were were busting chops and catching up ...

Whoa... I have no words... Behind the party boy was Donnie not BIG D the adult persona he carried on..

You will be missed...

Very sad news indeed. Used to chat with him a bunch when he was new to the industry, but after awhile I just couldn't hang. A few years ago at the Florida Internext he threw a playful punch at me in the elevator... it hurt, so I grabbed his nuts. He lunged at me and missed and nearly knocked himself out he was so messed up. Funny but sad at the same time. I remember also joking with him that in 20 years time I'd remind him the tattoos were a bad idea. Won't get that chance. RIP D.

I haven't posted in almost a year & a half.....but in honor of a fallen comrade...i felt it necessary to post a tribute.


Big D was definitely a wondering soul.....he was able to do a lot of really cool shit in his life though, he never sat on the sidelines & watched. I remember one night getting a cellphone picture sent to me of Ron Jeremy passed out on his couch in Vegas :1orglaugh

Towards the end Donnie took advantage of the kindness of a lot of us....however I can most definitely state as fact...that was the drugs, not Donnie.

In the end, all we're left with are memories in this life. I'm proud to say I made a few real memories with that Irish bastard.

Right now I'm standing on the balcony overlooking the Ocean Donnie.....Having 1-cold yingleng (the first beer I've drank in a year) dedicated to you big guy....

I know a lot of people say "rest in peace"....but i think we both know you're in the same place I'm going, partying it up already...with a couple premo-ho's....so all i gotta say is....keep a good seat warm for me homie! :pimp

i spend some time with him in ny about 3 years go...nice guy and huge shame he passed before his time

RIP Donnie

He sent me that picture too :). When he was in Romania i told him my first porn movie i ever watched was with Ron Jeremy banging a blonde :1orglaugh and he sent me that pic

Sarah, you're gorgeous.

After reading this thread, this industry needs a few more, and could loose alot more.

alteregos are a motherfucker huh J?

RIP. Too young.

I didn't know him, but RIP Big D. He was young.

Classic thread Donnie wrote where he was proud of the fact he out partied me at Internext in 2008.

Next time I drink a beer it will be in his honor and memory

Steve is the only one that would do something like that... :2 cents:

I did not know him, only what i've read in the "Romania Meeting" thread and in this thread. My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

The same goes for Alex Allard (SunIslandStudio), may he rest in peace.

RIP Donnie.

Wow I'm in shock. Donnie was a friend and a darling! I was actually going to message him today. So sad. RIP Donnie!

i had the opportunity to work with Donnie a few years ago for about 6 months. the guy was a great person with a huge heart and also a talented webmaster, designer and coworker.
i was so shocked when i got the sad news, i refused to believe it at first but i checked his mother facebook where she confirm. my condolences to his mother, his family, friends and gf.

We will miss him a lot.

Wow another one passed on too young and suddenly. Condolences to his family and friends. I read in his posts things that I feel and have done as well. RIP.

At least we know it's the truth now
Donnie was one of 3 submariners I knew of in the business, he was stationed on the USS Virginia

Run Silent, Run Deep my friend and brother

So sorry to hear. Sucks to see someone so young leave us so early. My thoughts go out to his family.

RIP Donnie! Way too young to go man! :(

"Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to the family."

Do they mean monetary contributions? Is that quite common in the US?

I hate to hear this. Donnie was a good kid, who just got caught by illness.

Thanx for the link

Very sad news

he is now going to have fun somewhere else...
RIP Donnie....

I dont know him , but this is a sad news , RIP to you mate

and love to all his friends, talk to your friends as often as possible

That is how I read it, and if it is common, I have never seen it before. What is common is something like "in lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society".

Wow. Donnie was a sweetheart but thought he had control of his addictions, when it was obvious to everyone else that it was the other way around. We spoke recently, and he was excited about finally being on the right track where things were looking up for him and he was no longer on the drugs.

I hope he finally finds peace and serenity.

I just talked to him recently. D will be missed! RIP

RIP baby boy, much love 4eva :angel

Smoking one for you brotha. :stoned

No it's not. Usually only see it when they have a young child and it's something about setting up a college fund for the kid. But he seemed to imply from his posts that his family had some major issues.

R.I.P man. Seem's I'll be heading that way soon as well.

I'm very sad after hearing this news.. :( Donnie worked for me when he first started in the adult business. I remember talking with him many times and his energy/enthusiasm is what I will always remember. I have read some negative comments about him here and while he wasn't perfect ( who here is perfect) I believe he was a good person. He made me laugh on a daily basis, thats for sure. RIP Donnie.

So sad, we didn't see this thread till now when Pacino forwarded it to me :( He was a fun guy for sure and he would make me laugh when we worked together. RIP Donnie!

There is only 1 bad thing I must say about the adult industry....seriously only #1.

We've all been to dozens (if not 100+ industry parties) & we see the people who obviously can't handle their booze (and other substances)....yet it seems to be encouraged, especially with the younger crowd.

I for one will be taking a stance on alchohol (especially drug use) at any future get-togethers. If I find someone is getting out of control, I will try my best to take them back to my hotel room & discuss business (have some coffee) etc.

I will no longer be a part of the problem. Don't get me wrong....I am by no means a rat...& I am not anti alcohol or drug (pot doesn't even count imo). I'm just now a firm believer that all things should be done in moderation! However if i see someone completely off the rails at a show, I do believe I will pull them aside & at least tell them about guys like Big_D....especially the new guys, who have no idea what their in for.

With new $ & fame....success....comes huge temptations to fuck up your life. Quite a few of us have done it at least once since joining the biz. Very few of us however have totally quit them all (such as myself, thank god).

By just altering the perception of "the lifestyle" for 1 person....We can all make a huge difference & make sure we keep our friends/clients etc. Along for a very long time! :thumbsup:thumbsup

This is sad! I never met him but always enjoyed chatting with him on ICQ these past 4 years. Way too young to go. R.I.P. Big_D

Met him at Internext Miami, was a cool guy, but you could tell his end would be a short one by the way he partied.

R.I.P

We both know several dozen people that partied just as hard as him @ show's. Especially Miami & Vegas. He just didn't stop the partying when he left like most of the rest. :2 cents:

He was pretty legendary for his consumption of party materials however!

Sorry to hear that. RIP Donnie.

RIP Big D :(

Great post :thumbsup

Thinking about you today Big Deezy. About to puff one in your memory. :pimp

Still unreal that you are gone..

Youre a good man!

Happy birthday brotha wherever you are.

Puffing in your memory again today.

:pimp

I still miss him, I ran into some old archives, and some pictures with him in Craiova/Romania, and suddenly I was feeling sad again. He was a great guy. Soon it will be 5 years that he is gone...
