John William McDonald
July 5, 1956 - January 13, 2008

John was born in Waco to Alex and LaVerne McDonald, and has lived here all of his life. He married Eva Samaniego on April 3, 1976 in Waco, and they lived a happy life together.
John was very handy with his hands and could figure out and repair anything, no matter how difficult. He began his career in the remodeling business operating his own company, McDonald Construction Co., he then worked ten years as a maintenance technician at Hillcrest Hospital.
For the past 11 years, he has been employed at Whataburger, Inc. where he had most recently achieved the position of Project Manager.
John thrived on any type of outdoor activity, especially golfing which he enjoyed as much as he could at the Lake Waco Country Club where he was a member.
He was also talented in softball, fishing, camping, and bowling. John loved people, and his kindness and gentleness touched everyone who knew and cherished him. He was an avid Nascar fan, especially cheering for the late Dale Earnhardt.
He was devoted to his family and his grandchildren were the light of his life. He left us way too soon, and we will all miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his his parents Alex and LaVerne.
He leaves his wife, Eva; son, John McDonald Jr. and wife, Melisa of China Spring; daughter, Dana Marie McDonald of Waco; two grandchildren, McKenzie McDonald and John McDonald III; three brothers, Jimmy McDonald and wife, Vivian of Wimberly, Jerry McDonald and wife, Charlotte of Waco, and Larry McDonald and wife, Lou of Gatesville, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Pallbearers will be John McDonald Jr., Robert Gerick, Wayne Roberts, Tommy Ash, Bill Gerick, and Jim Beasley.
