He was born on March 9, 1965, in Newberry, South Carolina, to Deacon James Suber, Sr. and Willie Mae Suber. Donald was the fifth of six children and lived a life rooted in faith, family, hard work, and laughter.

Donald graduated from Newberry High School with the Class of 1984. After graduation, he began his career at Louis Rich before pursuing his dream of entrepreneurship. Through hard work and determination, he became the proud owner and operator of Suber’s Classic Car Wash. More than a successful businessman, Donald built lasting relationships and earned the respect of his community through his dedication, integrity, and genuine care for others.

Donald found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved reading, writing in his journals, completing crossword puzzles, and making people laugh. Known for his quick wit and unforgettable sense of humor, he had a remarkable gift for bringing smiles to everyone around him. Whether sharing a joke, offering words of wisdom, or simply enjoying time with family and friends, Donald’s warmth and laughter left a lasting impression on all who knew him.

Donald was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Patsy Ann Suber.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories his devoted daughter, Bionica Riley-Cintron (Carlos) of Pensacola, Florida; his beloved son, Jakarvis Suber (Mercedes) of Newberry, South Carolina; his loving parents, Deacon James Suber, Sr. and Willie Mae Suber; one sister, Tawanda Boyd (Zachary); three brothers, James Suber, Jr., Lawrence Suber, Sr. (Charlene), and Ray Charles of Newberry, South Carolina; his cherished grandchildren, Riley, Saanvi, Alivia, Liliana, Melilah, Carter Cintron of Pensacola, Florida, and Messiah, Ermias, and Maisen Suber of Newberry, South Carolina; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family members who loved him dearly.

Donald was blessed with many lifelong friendships and is lovingly remembered by his devoted friends, Cecilia Wright and Benny Robinson, together with a host of devoted friends whose lives were enriched by his friendship and who will forever cherish his memory.

Donald’s legacy is one of perseverance, kindness, laughter, and unconditional love. He will be remembered not only for the business he built, but for the countless lives he touched with his humor, wisdom, and compassionate spirit.
