The legacy of music lives on through the establishment of an endowed memorial scholarship
Music, and those who compose and perform it, are often treasured as gifts to the world. Joy, tranquility, and the raw emotions of listening and enjoying music make it a universal experience for all.
Donald Ray Tomberlin, a lifelong musical artist, was one such individual who was blessed with a talent he shared with the world. He excelled in songwriting and piano, lending his talent to several Christian groups through singing, playing, and performing his original works nationwide.
He spent much of his time composing songs with his mother. His loved ones describe a book of songs the duo wrote as one of the most cherished family Christmas gifts they have.
In his life, Donald Ray was a quiet, giving, and extraordinarily kind man. Despite being born with cerebral palsy, he lived a life defined not by his disabilities but by his passion for music and his love for others.
