Jeffrey Darnell “Donnie” Spinner entered internal rest on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at Centra Lynchburg General Hospital. He was born on December 2, 1961, to the late Addie Burton Spinner and Jean Spinner Bunch.

He was born and raised in Big Island, VA where he received his formal education in the Bedford County public school system. He accepted Christ at an early age and joined Sharon Baptist Church in Big Island, VA. He was employed at Jamison/Lewis Construction for over 20 years until his health required him to be placed on long-term disability. He was a resident at the Tate Springs Nursing Facility in Lynchburg for the past few months.

He was preceded in death by his Sister, Angela Spinner, his Father, Addie Spinner and Mother, Jean Bunch.

His memories will be cherished by his brother, Patrick “Pat” Spinner of Big Island, VA and Valeria ”Val” Spinner of Fredericksburg, VA., stepsister, Glenda Banks (Arnrai) of Beacon, NY., stepmother, Doretha Spinner of Big Island, VA., and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Growing up he was lovingly called “DONNIE”. He was known for his exceptional talents in baseball, football, and softball. Fishing, hunting, cornhole and cooking were just a few of his hobbies. He was a Lakers fan and it’s obvious that he was a die hard “Pittsburgh Steelers” fan.

He will be remembered for his jovial “ha ha ha” laughter”. Jeff had a love of cars and was finally able to get his Cobra Mustang. You will be missed Jeff by your family and friends.

A funeral service will be held at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at Tharp Funeral Home, 220 Breezewood Drive, Lynchburg, VA. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. Interment will be at Sharon Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery on Sharon Cemetery Road following the service.

Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Lynchburg, is assisting the family.
