DONALD LEWIS DABBS JR

October 17, 1975 — February 23, 2025

Donald Lewis Dabbs Jr., born on October 17, 1975, in Dallas, Texas, ascended to his eternal rest on February 23, 2025. He was a man whose essence resonated with the vibrant beat of life, a soul whose laughter and warmth brightened the world around him.

In the tapestry of his life, Donald wove a career as a dedicated security guard, embodying not just a protector but a pillar of his community. His indomitable spirit and keen sense of loyalty made him not just a colleague but a trusted friend to many. He was known for his directness, always the one to voice his thoughts with clarity, while never losing sight of the love and respect that anchored his interactions.

Having graduated from A. Maceo Smith High School, Donald’s journey was marked by a profound connection to his family and friends. Among those who shared the most cherished memories with him was his cousin and brother at heart, Torye Dabbs and his cousin and sister Lashondria Benjamin. Their bond was extraordinary, interwoven with shared experiences and unspoken understanding, illuminating the power of familial love that transcends mere blood ties.

Donald’s personality was a blend of vivacious joy and gentle humility. He, harbored a special love for animals, reflecting his kind-hearted nature, which drew others to him like moths to a flame. His beautiful voice carried through the air, often accompanied by the rhythms of his passion for singing and rap. He could light up a room with his dancing, effortlessly channeling the magic of Michael Jackson, captivating all with his spirited moves.

In his moments of solitude, he found solace in cooking, a craft that allowed him to express his creativity and share love with those gathered around his table. Every meal was a celebration, an experience through which he connected deeper with family and friends, wrapping them in flavors and laughter alike.

As family and friends gather to remember the light of his life, they will convene for a Funeral Service at Love Lifted Me Baptist Church located in Balch Springs, Texas on May 17, 2025, at noon. Their hearts will be heavy, yet filled with gratitude for the myriad times Donald infused their lives with joy.

Life without Donald will be a quieter melody, yet the echoes of his vibrant personality, the warmth of his compassion, and the unforgettable memories he crafted will continue to resonate, reminding every soul that crossed his path of the profound beauty found within love, laughter, and togetherness. Donald Lewis Dabbs Jr. is survived by the treasured bonds he created and the indelible mark he left on the hearts of those who loved him.
