Donald L. McCoy Jr. 1979-2021

Donny was born Aug. 29, 1979, in Youngstown, a son of Donald L. McCoy and Terri A. Root McCoy.

He was a cook at Francesco’s Restaurant in Hubbard.

Donny was a 1998 graduate of Hubbard High School, where he played football. He loved to cook and his signature dish was called Chicken Don; and it was delicious. He also enjoyed playing video games and hanging out with his friends.

He was a wonderful and loving son, grandson, brother, nephew and cousin. Even with all of his health problems, he was always concerned about how everyone else was doing.

He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his family, his mother, Terri Root McCoy and his sister, who was so much more to him, Chrissy McCoy, both of Hubbard; his father, Donald (Kathy) McCoy of Summerville, S.C.; his grandparents, Sue and Steve Butcher of Hubbard; his grandfather, John S. McCoy of Youngstown; his favorite uncle, William Root Jr., currently in Cuba; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Dick and Thelma Chapman of Hubbard; grandmother, Wanda McCoy; and grandfather, William Root; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Also his good friends, K.J., Kevin and Brad, who are surely waiting for him.

“Jimmy says, ‘please watch over Noele until he gets there.'”

There are no calling hours or services.

Donald will be laid to rest in Hubbard Union Cemetery.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care of Stewart-Kyle Funeral Home.
