Donnie Nettles

Mr. Donnie A. Nettles, age 55, entered into rest eternal during the early hours of Saturday morning, February 14, 2015, at his home on the Ashley River in Charleston.

Funeral services will be conducted 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, February 18, 2015, from the graveside at Pine Grove Baptist Church No. 1, 99 Pine Grove Road, Walterboro. The Reverend Dr. Zane Brown officiating.

Born November 24, 1959, a native of Colleton County, South Carolina, he was the son of the late Mackie Nettles and the late Maude Ginn Nettles. Since an early age, Donnie made his home in Charleston where every possible moment was devoted to his career. He became a success in the real estate industry, serving as broker-in-charge of his own Realty Company as well as having worked closely with numerous agencies across the lowcountry of South Carolina. Donnie’s style in business allowed him to serve well all walks of life from those who were beach and river lovers, city dwellers or country folk. Donnie not only made the sale, but he became a trusted friend throughout the process.

Donnie was the former owner of Nettles Convenience Store which was an icon on the Snider’s Highway in Walterboro. He was raised by his family to be a Christian and love the Lord in the old family church, Pine Grove Baptist Church No. 1 in Walterboro.

Donnie’s smile and all too loving character made him a friend to countless people. He was a welcomed friend at any occasion and everywhere he went always became the life of the party. Among the pastimes of his life were spending time at his second home on the Edisto River and a small joy in gardening. Donnie surely left this world having made it a brighter place.

Surviving him are two sisters, Barbara Nettles Polk and her husband Timmy of Beaufort, South Carolina and Janice Nettles Jones of Walterboro, South Carolina. There are two nephews, Tanner Hudson and Conner Jones; a great niece, Kayla Hudson; as well as a countless host of beloved friends.

Family and friends are invited to call form 6 o’clock until 8 o’clock this Tuesday evening at THE BRICE W. HERNDON AND SONS FUNERAL HOME, WALTERBORO CHAPEL, 1193 Bells Highway, Walterboro; 843.538.5408. Visit the registry online at: www.briceherndonfuneralhome.com.
