Obituary For Mr. Donnell Dewayne Jasper
Mr. Donnell Dewayne Jasper, 62, passed away at Plateau Medical Center on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, after a short illness.
Donnell, affectionately known as 'Donnie', was born on February 24, 1959, to Thomas E. and G. Louise Jasper in Oak Hill, WV.
He was a 1977 graduate of Fayetteville High School. After graduation, he moved to MD and graduated from Montgomery College, Rockville, MD. In 1981, Donnie enlisted in the US Air Force. Following his graduation from the US Air Force Academy in San Antonio, Texas, he worked as an Air Force Medic at Little Rissington Air Force Base in Gloucestershire, England, and Plattsburgh Air Force Base in Plattsburgh, NY. It was in Plattsburg, NY, where Donnie recommitted his life to the Lord. After being honorably discharged from the US Air Force, Donnie moved to back to WV and worked in the customer service and healthcare industries. Once Donnie decided to follow Jesus, there was no turning back. He joined Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Garten, WV, where he became a deacon and held several auxiliaries. Within the last few years, he joined Cunard Baptist Church. Donnie loved the Lord. His life was one of service, love, compassion, and devotion. When he was not working his job as a home healthcare aide, he could be found in one of many community churches praising the Lord.
Donnie will be missed by his family, friends, and community.
He leaves to mourn his sister, Kimberly and nephew, Brandon of Silver Spring, MD, brother, Randall and nephew, Azizi, Flint of MI, brother, Larry (Martha) Jasper of Hercules, CA; aunt, Trula Wilson of Charleston, WV; uncles, Larry Wilson of Jonesboro, GA, James (Monica) Wilson of Germany, and Wayman (Patricia) Wilson of Charleston, WV and a host of cousins, other relatives, and friends.
As per his request he has been cremated.
Memorial service will be 11AM Saturday, January 29, 2022 at Cunard Baptist Church, 1730 Cunard Road, Fayetteville, WV 25840.
