Donald Ford affectionately called “Donnie” by family, departed this life on February 16, 2019. As a child, Donnie grew up in Virginia and graduated from Goochland High School. When Donnie finished school, his maturity positioned him into many management jobs until he landed the job of his dreams at Radio City Music Hall as a production assistant. He was well liked by many and loved by all who knew him well. Donnie loved his family, art, and music in that order. Some of his favorite artist include Stacey Lattisaw, John B, Madonna, Prince and Dr. Dre as well as others. After many years of working, Donnie became an art apprentice at Jack Shainman Gallery, NY. As an apprentice, Donnie had opportunity to travel to many states in the US, and to other countries in the world. He had many stories to tell from his travels, those will be missed, he will be missed more.
Donnie is predeceased by his Father, Donald Sr. and Mother Myrna Bailey Ford. Although Donald “Donnie” was an only child, he leaves behind a great legacy of LOVE in his partner Rodrigo, the heartbroken Bailey and Ford Families, a host of cousins, relatives and friends.
