Obituary for Donald E "Donnie" Prior
Donald ‘Donnie’ E. Prior, 50, of Bremen, passed away at his home on December 22nd, 2023. Donnie was born on February 18th, 1973, in Rockland, Maine to parents Craig E. and Cynthia A. (Gould) Prior.
Donnie grew up in Bremen and attended local schools, graduating from Medomak Valley High School in 1991.
On October 12th, 2002, Donnie married Lisa (Wotton) Prior, and became a loving father to his three children Alan, Allyson, and Morgan Prior, all of Bremen.
Donnie was a self-employed fisherman. He went clamming, lobstering, scalloping, and seining. His favorite place was the shore, looking out over the ocean and checking out what was going on.
He loved his horn and taking care of animals. Donnie had a big heart, especially for his family. He never ended a conversation without saying ‘I love you.’ He always helped his neighbors, had conversations with anyone, and loved aggravating for fun. He truly looked out for everyone he knew and loved.
Donnie was predeceased by his sister Lori Ann Prior; grandfather Kenneth (Lion) Prior; paternal grandmother Gwendolyn Hannah and husband Stanton; maternal grandparents Bill and Ann Gould; and uncles Stephen and Franklyn Prior.
He is survived by his parents Craig and Cynthia Prior of Bremen; children Alan, Allyson, and Morgan Prior of Bremen; sister Jessie Clough and husband Jamie of Mt. Vernon; brothers Gregory Prior of Bremen, and Cleve Prior and partner Danielle of Bremen; aunts Diane Drinkwater of Owls Head and Tracy Crowell of Waldoboro; uncles David Gould and Ricky Gould; partner Tiffanee Fraughton of Bremen; many nieces and nephews; and his cat, Mussels.
A celebration of life for Donnie will be announced at a later date.
