Derry "Mannie" Joseph Donoghue Obituary

Derry J Donoghue Jr. passed away in his sleep in the early morning hours of December 2nd, 2020. However unexpectedly this loss was, Derry felt he knew what lay beyond this temporary journey's end. Derry (Mannie) Was born in Everett, Washington March 11,1961 . He spent his early years in the Snohomish and Maltby area and at Pine River Ranch in 1974. He Graduated Leavenworth High School in Leavenworth in 1979. Derry was lead Partner for Donoghue Logging alongside his Father Derry Sr for 15 Years, most currently with Hurst Construction. Derry found exceptional ways to craft an extraordinary life for the people he surrounded himself with. Whether it was a smile, a self deprecated joke, or a strong hug he really knew how to make anyone feel as though he genuinely understood the invisible battles they were fighting. Belonging in a time older than this, Derry found great pleasure in an old truck and a crackling fire. He loved wading into a fast stream and sitting down for something good to eat with those he loved. Derry called Washington State home and found solace and providence in the deep woods of the Eastern Cascades. He could drive and operate anything with a seat and mated his love of the mechanical with the primal, working the backcountry in a pristinely choreographed dance of man, machine and nature. A true father, partner, son, brother and friend, Derry always took pride in seeing his family well cared for and provided after. Derry made sure that those around him always had what they wanted and needed, he is irreplaceable and irreplicable. Derry Donoghue Jr. is survived by his three children: Derry III (29), Danielle (23), Jess (17) of Plain and his ex-spouse, life long friend and mother of his children Janna Donoghue-Newell also of Plain. Derry is also survived by his mother: Jeannine Donoghue of East Wenatchee, his sister Deann Kruiswyk, husband Marlin, niece and nephews Carly, Ryan, Carter, Rhett of Cashmere, and his brother Derran Donoghue of East Wenatchee.
