Donald Ross Dingess, 46, of Wharncliffe, WV, left this earth on October 5, 2021 from his residence.
Born on November 12, 1974 in Man, he was the son of Darrell and Patsy (Ball) Dingess. “Daffy” was raised in a Christ-loving household filled with many memories of laughter and adventure.
In addition to his father, Darrell, he was preceded in death by one brother: Kevin Dingess; and one sister: Anita Gay Dingess. Donald was a coal miner, mechanic, dozer operator, and active helper of the community, always assisting anyone when needed.
Donald was a lover of hunting, fishing, ATV riding, and most importantly, he enjoyed spending time with his children and family. Being a father changed his life completely and he loved every minute. Donald had an infectious personality that is reflected in them today. He was a cherished friend, brother, neighbor, father, uncle and son.

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
