Donald Frank Hendrix Obituary

Donald Frank Hendrix, 60, of Murray, passed away November 15 at Murray Calloway County Hospital from complications due to COVID-19. Donnie was born November 19, 1959 and graduated from Carlisle County High School in 1977. He was preceded in death by his grandparents James L. Hogancamp and Agnes Inez Hogancamp and his parents, James R. Hendrix, Sr. and Agnes Ruth Hogancamp Hendrix. Donnie is survived by his brother, Jimmie Hendrix (Kellie) of Owensboro, his nephew Ryan Hendrix, M.D. of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, his niece Kara Hendrix, D.M.D. of Bowling Green, four step-nieces, Lanie Ledford of Hopkinsville, Kate Holtrey, Ally Holtrey, and Tori Holtrey all of Owensboro, and his aunts Martha Maruca (Mike) of Coto de Caza, California and Ann Rudd (Buddy) of Maumee, Ohio. Donnie also leaves behind his best friend Justin Robbins, a work family at Kingdom Trust, a church family at First Christian Church in Murray, KY, who dearly loved and appreciated him, will miss him, and cannot imagine life without him. Donnie was the organist at First Christian Church, Murray, KY, for many years, creating a sacred space for worship through his amazing, God-given musical skills. He worked with Mark Dycus' Chancel Choir, sang with the Men’s Ensemble, helped with special music, gave piano lessons, and played at countless weddings, funerals, and special services, always going the extra mile to add personal touches. He especially enjoyed playing the organ with Judy Hill on the piano and Julie Warner on the clarinet. His joy was contagious, he loved unconditionally and always without judgment, and he was extravagant in his generosity. Because of the dangers of COVID, the services and burial are private. Once it is safe to do so, a celebration of Donnie’s life will be held at First Christian Church in Murray, KY. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, acknowledgements and expressions of love be sent to: First Christian Church, 111 North Fifth St.; Murray, KY 42071. Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Bardwell is in charge of arrangements.
