Obituary of Vincent David Donarski

Vincent David Donarski was born July 14, 2008 to Carolyn and Eric Donarski.  He is survived by his parents and his sister, Ariana and his brother, Mason.  He is also survived by his maternal grandmother Mary Ivy, paternal grandparents, David and Raelene Donarski, Aunt Felicity Donarski, Aunt Cecilia Earls, and Cousins Caitlin, Aspen, Jackson, and Sydney.

Vincent, Vincie, Vinny, Vin was the sweetest, funniest boy and loved four-wheeling and snowmobiling in the backwoods in East Bethel, Andover, and everywhere else.  Vinny’s friends could always count on him to take a sled for a ride.  Vinny was Mr. Fix It, always wrenching on someone’s car, actually anything with an engine be it a tractor, lawn mower, car, or truck.  Vince learned to fix things at a young age, working on snowmobiles with his dad, and tractors with his grandpa.  These were treasured times for Vince.

Vinny got “Ruby” (his truck) a month before his birthday and started working on her right away, even before he could drive her, making sure to add subs.  She was a beauty. He loved spending time with his family, and especially his friends, as that time was “Furda”.  If it had an engine, Vince could drive it, Vince could fix it. 

Vince loved to be driving around with his friends or his brother and sister, but when he was at home, Vince could usually be found playing X Box with his friends, or his brother Mason, cuddling with his dog Bruno, or going downstairs to rant to his sister about whatever made him mad that day.

Vince loved to play hockey and played with several teams and many, many teammates over the years. He made a lot of friends playing hockey and truly loved being a part of it all.  Vince was happiest when he was outside and busy, so hockey was the perfect sport for him.     

In his short time, Vince touched many lives.  We will all remember his smile.  We will all remember his laughter.  We all grieve the loss of his humor, when we all need it so much.  We love and miss our boy desperately and will hold his heart forever.

Celebration of life will be August 29th at 1 PM at the Riverdale Church. 3210 Bunker Lake Blvd NW Andover, MN 55304. Food will be served following service.
