Higginbotham

Donald “Dony” Robert Higginbotham of Waverly had a sudden and fatal heart attack on Aug. 6, 2021, at his mother’s home at 19 Holly Oak Trail, Waverly, GA 31565. 

He was 47 years old. Although born Oct. 23, 1973, and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, the son of Marsha (Durant) Higginbotham and the late Donald E. Higginbotham, he had lived in his beloved Georgia for more than 30 years. 

Dony suffered much strife throughout his life, as well as physical pain. But, he never lost his great spirit and huge heart. He was a generous and loving human being. He will be greatly missed.

Dony is survived by his two beloved sons, Isaac Dean Higginbotham and Hunter Ryan Higginbotham, his two adored dogs, two grandsons by Isaac, as well as two sisters, Christina Costa of Folkston and Hollie Higginbotham of Waverly, and nieces, a nephew and cousins.

A celebration of life ceremony is being planned for the future. Date, time and location to be determined.
