Donald Richard Westmoreland

Donald "Bubba" Westmoreland Jr., 53 of Christiansburg, Virginia, born on January 2, 1973 passed away peacefully at his home on August 13 2026. 

Preceding him in death were his grandparents, William Q and Evalene Westmoreland, Richard and Juanita Jennelle; aunts and uncles, Debbie Jennelle, Leola Graham and Uncle Sonny Westmoreland, and Amanda Watkins.

Survivors include his wife of 23 years, Diane "Missy" Westmoreland; sons, Lucas Dakota Westmoreland, Nathaniel Ray Bocock, Jeremy Watkins,; daughter, TJ Watkins; parents Pamela Jennelle Martin (Robert Burns), Donnie Westmoreland Sr and wife Sue; special sister, Millie Ann Jennelle; niece, Jaedyn Weaver; nephew, Austin Stromme; seven grandchildren, Autumn, Sophia, Everleigh, WIllow, Nathias, Haley, and Madison; one great-grandchild, Oakley; many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Ricky loved his family and friend, church and biker buddies.  He loved fishing and most of all riding his motorcycle.  He was always doing for others and never met a stranger.  He had fought a long hard battle with cancer, but now is free from it.  He is walking on both legs and riding his bike on the streets of gold.  The family wishes to thank Gentiva Hospice and the City of Hope in Georgia.

Ricky would like to remind everyone of the 23rd Psalm...

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pasture; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for his name sake.

Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

See you on the other side. -Ricky
