I think about u often bro, I remember the very first time I met u. U were the first person I met in iowa you was lit too lol. I was messed up to find put what happened to you, and still today can't wrap my head around it. I wish I could politic wit u now. Chop it up on some RNS.

I still think of you all the time. Still missing you until we meet again.

Marvella & Vance, you all raised a fine young man.he will be missed by many.your memories will live forever .RIP RELL

No words can exspress the hurt that everyone especially family feels right now, I pray you all are doing okay... when I first came to iowa I lived in hills, then quicly moved to coralville, where I met a family of boys that were all around my age.. we played, got into trouble and had fun.. and of course fought here& there.. (I beat up donta in 5th grade) lol rell was a referee.. just thinkn about that makes me laugh, but we were cool ever since... we all got older and we always seemed to be in the same places (not that the ici is that big) but I always had so much fun with rell, he had somethin that I could never put my finger on.. besides bein one of the cutest guys in iowa city, he was also one of the sweetest if u got 2 really see that side.. my condolences to all the family, I haven't seen y'all in a while but your still in my thoughts, when I visited I got to kick it wit rell so that makes me feel a lil better! One love. Take care of eachother love always -Tami

To the Lindsey family: Yall are in my prayers. Heaven has gained another angel. Gone but never forgotten!

To the family of Donelle:

No words can comfort, no tears can wash the pain away.

Donelle was taken far too quickly but touched many in the short time he was here. I will keep the family in my prayers.

May God wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you all in this time of loss......and may you be blessed with the love and support of family and friends. RIP Donelle

Lil' Bruh, You was always Happy, and it was infectious. People couldn't help but be happy when you was around. People were drawn to you. You had an Inner Light that shone so Brightly, that it couldn't be denied or ignored. I'm so proud to have been able to call you a friend. You always " stood up for me" when the people you was with would try and Diss me. Got much Love for ya Bruh. Can't believe you're gone. You will always live on in the Many Hearts and Lives you have touched. Forever Blessed

You will truly be missed by so many <3>

First off I want to send my Condolence to the Lindsey Family. I knew Donelle from elementry school. He was such a sweet person. He had a smile that was so Contagious he would just brighten up your day. He had a personality that was so great every one loved to be around him. Great memories of him that will never be forgotten. I will truly miss him. He will forever be in my heart. Rest in Paridise Donelle.

Marvella,

Marvella & family, We were truly saddened by the news of the passing of your beloved son Donelle. We are all praying that you and your family make it thru this difficult time. Please let us know if you need anything.

So sad you're gone lil bro...you'll be trully missed and always loved

Warmest sympathy to the Lindsey family and friends at this very trying time. Hugs surround each of you today and always.

The Fobian Family

Kenny, Linda, Dustin and Kelsi Fobian

Our thoughts and prayers are with this entire family. We are praying for peace, comfort and strenght for you all during this difficult time. May God bless and keep you all. We are sorry for your loss.

My thoughts & prayers are with the whole Lindsey family, I can't even imagine what you all are going through right now. Although hadn't actually hung out w/ Donelle since high school, I ran into him often over the years & I can't remember a single time where he didn't go out of his way to great me with a big smile & a big hug... He always made a point to ask me how I was doing & what I was up to and always seemed to be genuinely interested in my response.

I will never forget the first time I called your house back in junior high, I was calling for Donta, but Donelle (whom I had never met) answered the phone & proceeded to have a 15-20 minute conversation with me, pretending to be Donta, before I finally put it together, that the person I was talking to, was not the same person I had met at school... As the time passed, I came to consider him, Donta & Donzell all close friends & obviously learned to distinguish their voices, but Rell never did let me live down that 1st embarrassing phone call :)

~R.I.P. Donelle... Gone but never forgotten ~

R I P Rell u will be truly missed we will meet again

To the family my prayers are with u and be strong, i just think about the good times we all had with Lil Burn i miss the card games and dominoes gathering we use to have at my house, burn has a good heart and personality and will be truly missed. Love to the family Zion.

rip lil bro

From doughnut breakfasts to cookies and candy snacks oh what it would mean to me to have you back. from putting on your shades or wearing your hat to some of us u seemed more like a dad. I wish u hadn't have left so soon I can't stop the tears and stare at the moon, I know your looking down on me but that's just something that I would rather see. Like the stars and the clouds will always be you will stay in my heart and memories. I know some day I'll see you again till then sleep tight my handsome prince. I'm gonna dream of dreams of you and me....I'm chuckin the deuces because I know your at peace I love u Rell ... Love Amauri

I will always carry u in My heart I miss u baby bro and I will always love u

R.I.P Donelle(lil burn)Lindsey. You will be truly missed.

I remember the first day I met you when I went to the ped mall summer of 97. You were riding a bike and your hair was all over your head. I remember thinking who is this clown? You came over to me and introduced yourself and I said oh you're Marvella's other son. I had already met Donzell and Donta. You were so funny and so kind hearted. Then my mind travels to the last time I saw you a couple weeks ago NEVER thinking that would be the last time. Words cant express the shock and hurt I feel in my heart. I now have 3 angels in Heaven watching over me. My mom, my dad and you. May your soul find peace Donelle. We love you and miss you terribly.

Tia

I haven't seen you since I moved from Iowa City in 2004 but I remember your smile like yesterday. May you R.I.P Lil Burn and my condolences to the Lindsey family, may God bless you all!!

Donzell

Be at peace. I will keep the memories of all the laughter and pranks of Crosspark and VIlla Gardens in my heart. And I will always laugh at the day Claudia and I tossed you in the swimming pool with your new gear on, that was a true test of friends cause you were upset at us but laughed all the same. God bless you and yours.

last time I saw you, you were at my with rachelle. I still cant believe you are gone. You were too young to die and especially like this. Everytime you seen me you had a smile and a hello for me.. I have known you many years, you watched me grow from a lil hard head girl to now. May you rest in peace with the angels above. Prayers are being sent up everyday for your family and close friends. R.I.P Donelle

lov LIL rell.

I have so many childhood memories with this man.....He was my friend and I miss him dearly!!! Donelle was a sweet, generous man who didnt take any BS and made sure that him and all of his were straight!! Its sad to have to see you go so soon....Although you are in a better place I feel like being selfish and asking for you back!!!! It doesnt make sense and the tears dont help anything be any clearer....We love you Lil Rell......See you again some day!!!

My condolences to the Lindsey family. He will truely be missed. May he rest in peace.

We'll miss you little man. To think of how long we've known you and thought of you and your brothers as our other kids. We just hate that this had to happen for us to remember all the good times. Rest in peace Rell and know that your memory will always be with us. God bless you and your family and may he help them find the strength to deal with their loss. You will be sorely missed.

Rip Rell you will be missed but never forgotten.

Keep your head up Marvella and the rest of the Lindsey family, you will get this. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten. "As long as we live, they too shall live, for they are a part of us, as we remember them." RIP Pretty Eyes.

My prayers are with the Lindsey family sorry for yall loss may God be with yal

Donelle will never be forgotten. He made his mark here in IC and he grew up with such a big group of friends! We are all much older now but whenever we saw each other we had just as much love for each other like we did back in the ped mall days. It was never a dull moment with Donelle around and we will always remember his big beautiful eyes and his baby face.

You touched alot of people as people can see on facebook, but I always know you was special all the good times we had together has always been cherish. I wish i could see you again. I never forgot you.You will ALWAYS BE LOVED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN not by only me but by millions of peoples.

It's just like yesterday when we all met and was hanging out going fishing. And I will never forget the nickname you gave me a few years ago. "Miss Ten Stacks" LOL. I will always be that just because you called me that. I miss you my friend and wish you wouldn't have went so soon and the way you did, love u lil bro always and forever.

RIP RELL. you will forever be missed and never forgotten,

You will always be loved and missed.RIP lil rell LOVE YOU

I haven't seen donelle in years, but when we did hang many years back at the bars, I remember your eyes and that smile u were such a wonderful person inside and out. You will never be forgotten RIP donelle u are in a better place now

It is still such a shock that you are no longer with us. You brought so much joy to so many people lifes, you were a great person and even a better friend. The person that took u away took a big part of all of us and even though you are gone from this sad and no good world I know you are in a much better place. I love you and miss you with all my heart. RIP friend you are greatly missed.

Donelle,

Still strange to think of a world without you in it. We weren't close, but I could always count on you for a smile and a laugh. You were always so laid back, and one of my favorites--just a good person.

Much love, your family and friends will keep your light burning.

I remember Donelle and all of us use to go to the coralville rec center and play basketball and fooseball after school every day and just have an all around good time being young and having good old genuine fun. What i remember of Donelle was his kind personality and caring for others. Although i haven't spoken with Donelle for a number of years I am sure he grew up to be the same as I remembered him being. He will be missed. Sorry for the loss. sincerely, an old friend,

Todd McAllen

til the world blow my dude

you were one of kind my dude no will every be able to take yo place fam god bless and may you rest in peace

How life intersects and memories become just alittle spec but the whole toss in the unravle. How God writes numer #1 best selling novels.. Who's walked on marble floors but feels more comptable walking on gravel. Who writes some stories short for we can all looked at them and be marvled.. R.I.P REll ill miss u..

Words are hard to come by now. I know that we have lost touch recently, but the friendship hasn't wavered a bit. Memories flood my mind endlessly as if we haven't skipped a beat. A true friend is hard to find, but I'm blessed to have found you! This is a "I'll see you later", and in no way a good-bye. I love you Rell. -Nathan

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

May you Rest in Paradise Rell

My Sympathies to all His Family & Loved Ones
