Donald was born on July 16, 1964 in Howell, Michigan. DJ proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1984 to 1988. On July 23, 2016 he married Julie (Gill), and she survives.
DJ loved sports, especially University of Michigan sports. He followed Tom Brady wherever he went. He was very happy for the Detroit Lions this season and was ok rooting for them after Tom Brady retired. He was a very giving man and enjoyed paying it forward whenever he could. DJ was a very hard worker who enjoyed problem solving and was always available to help family and friends. Most of all he was a loving son, brother, husband, uncle, step-dad, and step-grandad.
In addition to his wife, Julie Hart, and his parents, Ray and Elida Hart, he is survived by his step-daughters, Chelsea (Codie) Serrato, Brooke Preciado; and Mateo Serrato, a step-grandson. Also surviving are his siblings, Dawn (Bob) Holbert, and Maria Hart; niece, Taylor; nephews, Haedyn Holbert, and Gavyne Holbert.
DJ was preceded in death by a sister, Kari Hart, in 2021, and his grandparents, Beatriz and Gregorio Pena.
