On this day, family and friends gather to celebrate the life of a man who sojourn on earth was fruitful and rewarding. Today, we celebrate the homegoing of our beloved Donald Eric Honeycutt a.k.a. “Big E.”
Donald Eric Honeycutt began life in Chicago, Illinois on April 24, 1965. Preceding him in death, he was born to the late Lodester and Ida Honeycutt.
Donald was brought up in a Christian environment. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior. Donald received his formal education within the Chicago Public School System, graduating from Simeon High School.
Although Donald worked in many places during his life, he was a diligent worker for major companies such as Ford Motor Company and 3M.
Donald was a simple, but affectionate man who possessed great bounds of kindness and wisdom throughout his years. Family was always his priority. His loyalty went beyond measure. He enjoyed watching his Minnesota Vikings play. Donald also possessed the gift of laughter, giving any one he knew gut busting moments of humor.
Donald had a special dedication to music. As a self–taught musician, he was a talented Bass Guitar Player. For a great part of his life, he played with his siblings and friends in a band called “Mo Fi Bo” as well as the Honeycutt’s family music group. Donald loved music and enjoyed listening to his favorite group, Mint Condition. He also loved Level 42, Stevie Wonder, and other genres of music.
Donald had four beautiful children: Sean, Dominique, Tasmine, and Tayja.
Donald married Tasha D. Bobo on September 15, 2000 in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
On Monday, April 19, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. God closed the final chapter of Donald’s life and he gently entered into eternity.

REMEMBERING TOGETHER
Memories & condolences
Eric was a gentle, kind and loving cousin. I cannot remember if I have ever experience Eric getting upset with someone. He would says, \"yep you\'re right Jesse as he would nod his head\". And even if he dis-agreed with what I was expressing, he would be very humble and constantly \"smiling the who time\". I will never forget the hot summers in Chicago on 6520 Justine Street.. Running upstairs and downstairs with my cousin in and out doors. The last time I saw him he said \" one day Jesse I\'m going to get up and walk again\". I believed him and deep in my heart he is walking now. He is smiling and having a great time being free and not suffering. Rest in peace my cousin, until we connect in the spirit. I will always love you just like you loved me when no one else would.
Jesse Jones
