  Donald Francis Griffin   Sunrise  February 3,1969 Sunset   July 7,2026   Who walked through this world with a gentle step and a quiet heart. The calm in every storm. A quiet force of love and strength. A gentle and peaceful presence. Humble and respectful. Reserved and serene.   It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother, Donald Francis Griffin, of Chapel Arm, who peacefully passed away at home where he was raised by his loving parents, Sadie and Vincent Griffin, on July 7,2026.   Born to Sadie and Vincent on the 3rd of February,1969, Donnie was a man who truly understood the beauty of a quiet life. He didn’t need the noise or the spotlight to be content; instead, he found his greatest joy in solitude, peacefulness, and the steady comfort of those he loved.   Though he loved his quiet time, Donnie had a deeply generous heart. He was a man you could always count on, possessing a quiet willingness to help anyone in need. He didn’t offer his help for praise or recognition, but simply because it was who he was – a dependable, kind soul who showed his care through quiet actions rather than loud words.   In his younger days, Donnie brought an undeniable energy to the diamond. He was a gifted Fastpitch  Softball pitcher.  With a canon for an arm, he was known for his skill, focus and love for the game . In 1983, The Long Harbour Youth roster took home the gold medal becoming Softball Newfoundland Pee-Wee “B” Minor Male Fastpitch Champions, a title he was so very proud of.   As the years slowed down, he traded the excitement of the field for the tranquil rhythms of a simple life. Nothing paired better with his love for quiet moments […]
