Obituary Preview: Donaldglen Abel Gronberg, our bearded man with the million dollar grin, passed away on Monday, September 27, 2021. He had a passion and unrivaled talent for woodworking. Donny was an avid sports fan and loved all Cincinnati teams, especially (and sometimes unfortunately) the Bengals. He loved his family and friends hard and enjoyed just spending time with them, which typically meant he would be making plenty of mostly inappropriate jokes. He is survived by his beloved fiancé, Jenn Rosell, better known to Donny as Jay; big brother (with way less hair) Josh Gronberg and sister in law Marcie Gronberg; his favorite lady and sweet momma, Rebecca Gronberg; father, Terry Gronberg; grandma, Kate Zieger; grandmother, Eileen Gronberg, and the kids he love the most, his amazing son, Carsten Gronberg; niece, Lexi Gronberg; and nephew, Joshua Jackson Gronberg along with numerous family + friends. He is preceded in death by his brother, Jason Gronberg; grandfather, Glen Seibert; grandfather, Donald Gronberg; and grandmother, Mildred Gronberg. We all know Donny would want fewer tears and more cheers, so join us in celebrating his life. Visitation will be Friday, October 1, 2021 at Evans Funeral Home (741 Center St. Milford, OH 45150) from 5-7pm, with the service at 7pm. Rev. Jeff McClain officiating.
