Just spoke with Donns' wife Kim, sadly his stroke was too severe. life support would be the only option, which he would not want. My friend and mentor has precious little time left, Gods speed Donn Rhode. I have no other words.

Speechless and in tears,such a bad *** racer for years. Rosebud I'm praying really hard for you to come through this! Your friend Rug.

Very sad news! Always enjoyed chatting with him at the races. I remember as a kid watching him run at Norwalk during the Street Eliminator days. High winding small block 4 speed. I was hooked after that!
Thank you for the updates, Joe.

I'm never prepared to cross these emotional thresholds.....every time I see some of my favorite people, I refuse to believe that it could be the last time.

Just really difficult to accept the fragile reality of our mortal existence.....

I really hate to hear the news of Donn's bypass surgery. I always enjoyed talking with Donn and Kim at the track. My prayers will be with my friends.

My thoughts and prayers for Donn and Kim. Such sad news, was praying for a better outcome. They welcomed us into their racing family, enjoyed every meal and all of our time together.
Donn was a mentor, friend big brother. I pray for better news but reality is setting in. My heart hurts so much right now. Tears and words are not enough.
How much I enjoyed our tailgate talks at the end of race day. The pain is deafening, praying for miracles.
