Obituary: John McDonald
Our beloved friend, John Anthony McDonald, was taken from us on Thursday, August 31st after fighting his toughest fight against multiple myeloma. John was larger than life. He lived life in the fast lane, sometimes the wrong lane, but he always landed on his feet. John was a man of style, education and devotion to his friends and students. He also had a wicked and clever sense of humor. John loved nothing more than a good scotch or a good wine while reading, which was his passion, or visiting with his many friends. John never forgot a birthday, a special day or holiday gifts. His gifts were usually over the top. To quote that Clarksville, Texas sage and frat brother, Kenny Emery, “Doesn’t cost more to go first class, just can’t stay as long.” If anything, John epitomized always going first class. He was a lifelong liberal and a true “yellow dog” Democrat.
