UPDATE: Help Amy Strickhausen after losing husband Donnie

Donation protected
Amy's beloved Donnie Strickhausen past away on March 26, 2025 about two weeks after finding out he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that aggressively attacked his body very quickly. He was placed on hospice care on March 24, 2025.

We are Dawn and Marcus Davidson, (Amy's dad), and we are raising funds for the Donnie and Amy Strickhausen fund.

THEIR STORY: Donnie and Amy had been married for 25 yrs. Earlier this March they were excited, planning a short spring break trip to Galveston, Texas with their grandchildren. When Donnie arrived home from his 6 hour drive from the oil fields in West Texas (where he worked) to begin their adventure. Amy met him in the driveway and instantly noticed something seriously wrong with Donnie. He's face was mustard yellow... She immediately took him to the Emergency Room. After receiving his test results, little did they know Donnie would only have two more weeks to live.

Donnie was surrounded by so many that loved him deeply. Amy had never left his side. Marcus was there for support . Donnie's twin brother, Ronald Strickhausen, his sister, Tracey Smith, Donnie's daughter, Brittany Pena with spouse and Donnie's son, Corey Strickhausen were all present along with many nieces and nephews. Amy's children, Brittany and Dustin were also present along with Amy's brother, Matt Davidson and his wife. In this sadness of time, they were all there to say their final goodbyes.

Donnie was 60 years old on September 15, 2024. He was beloved by so many because of his love for life, family and a believer in his Lord, Jesus Christ. He was dedicated to his family. For decades he was a very hard working man in the oil fields across the U.S. He loved music, and played his steel guitar whenever he got the chance, playing with his band members in pubs and venues.

WHAT IS NEEDED: Prayers are needed for Amy and the entire family for their lose! Amy has been a stay home Grandmother raising her three grandchildren with Donnie's support. Together they had just bought a new home in Paris, TX, August 2024.

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP... Please consider giving to Amy to help her with needed expenses. Amy now faces a hard journey of bringing common sense to her fiduciary responsibilities now without Donnie's support:

  • She just learned that Donnie did not have a life insurance policy.
  • They did not have mortgage insurance on their recent home purchase.
  • There is a vehicle payment/insurance.
  • She no longer has health care insurance.
  • Other unforeseen expenses.

Your kindness of giving to her cause is very much appreciated. Your compassion will help Amy face the future for a better tomorrow... We trust by God's Grace and Loving Kindness, He will make a way where there seems to be no way. Amen!
