17 selected him for elite intelligence training at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. He then went

on to use that intelligence training in Wiesbaden, Germany while protecting the

boarder. Donny was a proud member of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of

Michigan.

Surviving are his son, Mike Slavik; siblings, Michael Slavik, Glenda Slavik, Karen

Siminski, Julia Hay, Walter Slavik, Jr., Sandra Barron, Joni Delacruz, Cynthia
