Uncle Mike Donuts and Coach Mike, where do we begin? Our family is absolutely devastated. You were the glue that keeps us together and always laughing. All of us respected your sound advice and positive outlook on life. Sea Isle won’t be the same without you. From your Friday night trips to Phil’s for pizza to donuts on Saturday/Sunday mornings. You were the kindest, most thoughtful and generous person. Growing up with you was a blast!! Camping trips, ski trips, so many great memories. Thank you for all the amazing memories you gave my children and grandchildren. They loved you so much as did everyone who knew you. You were an awesome husband and dad too. The only silver lining I see here is that you always said you wanted to die in your ski boots and you did just that. Unfortunately for us, it was way too soon. We treasure the time we had with you and will miss that beautiful smile. Rest in peace… I’m sure you were welcomed into to heaven with open arms and Maggie was the first to greet you. Love you forever, Mike

I would like to add to the obituary,: Mike Donohue played football for Archbishop Wood, he was a Coach at Northampton, Media and Aston AA. After High School, he worked at his father business, Mohawk Electric, and then at Suburban Wholesale. He lived the motto work hard, play hard. He lived Sea Isle City and will be greatly missed by all that known him.

Coach Mike,
My other half, we did so much together you were my best friend always there for us, so many memories. Thank you for all you have done for our family. You were our rock. We shared everything together. right now thinking of you taking our Grandchildren up the mountains teaching them to ski. Your patience was unbelievable fitting them In their ski boots the night before making them walk around & they had to dance with coach Mike in the ski boots
Words can't express the miss in my heart. We all Love you & you will always be part of our everyday
With all my Love
KD

Where do I begin? It was an honor and blessing to share so many memories with you, Joan, Lauren and Sean. You were a man among men. Always kind, always positive and a role model for the young men and women whose lives you touched. You will be missed beyond measure but your legacy will shine on.

You have my deepest condolences. This is beyond difficult. My heart goes out to the entire Donohue family and surrounding friends at such a difficult time. From the days when the Donohue's lived in holland, and the crazy "block" parties, then "moving on up" to Hill Crest Shire, to the days of Little League baseball, where both our fathers both coached us as a rag tag team, then off to Archbishop Wood, Mike was the only one I can remember never without a smile. He kept us engaged and laughing. Sometimes people are like flowers, you can have the roughest of days... and a simple flower can brighten your day. Mike is that flower, as we remember all that he did to give us a beam of light, and that smile. Michael, its been a honor and a pleasure to walk thru your garden.

As we grew older, our lives and families grew, and we grew apart, but its okay to fall apart sometimes. Tacos are always falling apart, and everybody still loves them.
Love Ya Mike, look down on us, and continue to brighten our day with that smile.

So very sorry and sending our sympathy to his entire family. We didn’t know him but from what I have heard, he was quite someone to know. Sending hugs and love along with some prayers. The Tino family

Mikey D. Congrats on your induction into the 35th St Hall of Fame! I can only imagine what heaven is like right now,,,,,,, you're in great company,,,,,, raising hell in heaven,,,,,, try not to get kicked out.

One of the many fond memories: You & KD teaming up to cook burgers on the grill in Sea Isle. The process started(sober) by having a beer while lighting the grill. And ended with you both hammered when finished. The burgers were like a science project. Typical Mike & KD behavior. It was expected but wonderful to watch; it confirmed the bond & language you two shared.

Things will never be the same but you left your mark on the world.

This isn't goodbye but "so long for now." I'll miss you. Till we meet again.

Mike has been my friend for fifty years or so. I coahed him, and coached with him over the years. He was always respectfully competitive and caring to everyone. He was truly in love with Joanie, and both of his children, Lauren and Sean. A true family man. I was lucky enough to be his friend. Our first western ski trip was Lake Tahoe about 45 years ago. We have skiied together all over the Rocky mountains and our last together at Winter Park. I will truly miss my ski partner, and we all have lost a special person

So sorry to hear. Prayers for the family.

I am very sorry to see my friend Mike is gone. He was a wonderful person who I liked very much. I remember him at both Mohawk Electric and Suburban Wholesale. May he always be a blessing to his family.

Brother Mike, coach Mike, uncle Mike donuts, you are the best. You are the center of our family. I’m not ready to say you “were” because it still seems so unreal. Your awesome smile will live on forever and so will your amazing spirit! I’m so jealous of mom and dad, Maggie and Jack, Rick and Ed, Mark and Jeanne. They’re so lucky to have you with them. But damn the rest of us will miss you forever! Somehow we will make the best of the place between the ocean and the bay and we will honor you always. Love you to the moon and back. Burgers!

Our sympathies to the Donahue family. We are out of town and will not be able to pay our respects. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Where to begin. Mike - you were my sidekick and my protector all through growing up. Mom and Dad gave me alot of freedom to have fun because they knew I was out with you and you would keep me safe. Your devilish smirk and side eye glance would precede some type of laughable moment - you sure knew how to create well organized and FUN days. You were everyone's first phone call when they needed help and you somehow found the time to answer the call. You raised two spectacular kids that emulate your zeal for life. You made Sea Isle our Happy Place, and lived by the example: nothing but family, friends and fun between the Bay and the Ocean. While we now have tears in our eyes and a missing piece in our hearts, there will come when we turn tears into smiles in celebrating the memories we shared with you. No doubt there was a phenomenal party welcoming you into Heavens Sky-Deck!! Keep sending us comforting signs to help us - Love You Bro!!!

To my fellow workmate in the Mohawk warehouse, my fellow salesman that I sat next to for 20+ years, my fellow coach at Northampton (NIFA), my golf partner in our Golf league, to the days of the RVL in Sea Isle and Kings Way:
I will always admire you for the positivity and the pure enjoyment you did in everything. With you there was nothing that couldn't be overcome.
In the sand trap, 4th and long, busted forklift, nothing ever stopped you.
I will miss you my brother

Joan, Lauren, Sean & Mel and the entire Donohue & Bradley families, I send my deepest & heartfelt condolences!!! We all lost a beacon of positivity & light with the passing of my brother & best friend! Selfishly, I had almost 55 years with him by my side, as he supported me, inspired me & loved me. He adopted me into his family & I became the 8th Donohue, as I adopted him into mine & he became the 4th Baker. He made me a better person & he truly made my life better! I know that he is still be by our sides, just not in the way that we have enjoyed for so long! I promise to honor his memory by being there for anyone in our family that needs help & I know that you will do the same for me, as we all deal with this enormous loss! Mize, I am so grateful for everything you did for me, all the incredible memories we shared & I am so happy that we got to spend that last weekend with our Mom. Moving forward, I will miss you in everything I do, but for you, I will celebrate your life, even with great sadness in my heart & I truly look forward to the day when we are reunited & we bring the Mizers up to heaven! Please say hi to Pop-pop, Mom-mom, Mom & Dad, Ed, Maggie & Jack! Btw, don't forget, Callahan 1 & 2, Bull, Sandy, Princess, Gruber, Gizmo, Magoo, Belle & Beau! I love you, my brother!!!
