Donte was very active as a young child in his community, he played town football, he played football for the Cobras, he also played baseball and town wrestling, you name it he did it! He always kept us on our toes. He was the middle child known as the “crazy middle” lol. One thing about him, you heard him before you seen him.

He played for Montclair High School’s football team with the #12, that is where his brotherhood began. Donte was on the Montclair High School wrestling team. After high school he went on to Nassau Community college and played football for the Lions where he played in his first bowl game.

Donte came back to Montclair to coach wrestling for Montclair Recreation in 2015. That same year, Donte became a proud father for the first time with his daughter Ava and kept the trend going with Avery and Autumn. Donte and the triple A’s then became the triple A’s plus 1, another girl, June.  What a girl’s’ dad! Lol. If you saw him, most likely you saw them. They were his everything and still are.

His mom had a big part of his heart even when he didn’t pick up the phone when she called. He loved his dad and tried to make him very proud of him. He played football and had a love for dogs just like his father. He had a secret way of communicating with his siblings, whom he loved  unconditionally.
