Beauchene, 54, of Vienna, entered peacefully into eternal life shortly after Noon on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 in the line of duty after contracting COVID-19 while on duty.  He passed away following complications in the Intensive Care Unit at Mercy Health St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

Don attended and completed the fire school at the Youngstown Fire Department’s Fire Academy.

Donnie was currently working 3-Turn as a Lieutenant for the City of Warren as a firefighter.  He was also the owner and operator with his wife of Blush Spa & Gift Boutique in Warren since 2017.

He was a member of the Warren Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 204.

Donnie was involved in several ministries over the years.  It was always his passion to give back to others and to make difference in others lives.  Donnie went on several mission trips to Guatemala, Bogota Columbia, and most recently to the New York Dream Center with his wife. He and his wife worked together in the community on many outreach projects with the Warren Family Mission, local inner-city ministries including IGNITE, the DALE foundation, and they contributed to various local charities.

Donnie enjoyed traveling and vacationing, especially to Anna Maria Island with his wife. They went to Anna Maria yearly.  Donnie loved Florida so much that he and Michelle were married there before having their ceremony here in Ohio with friends and family. He and Michelle were adventure partners and created so many memories in their travels. He enjoyed his motorcycle, doing home projects, and most recently took up cross bow hunting with his son-in-law. He also loved making homemade pasta on Sundays, and camping,  but most importantly Donnie enjoyed being with his family.

Donnie is survived by the love of his life and wife of ten years, the former Michelle Miller whom he married on January 19, 2011; his parents, Herbert and Linda Bogli of Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Together Don and Michelle shared six children until recently when they adopted four siblings, creating a beautiful family of twelve.
