Donny's fans and friends took to social media to share memories they have of their time with Donny and to mourn the loss.
Actor and comedian Steven Briggs posted a video of his late friend holding a red solo cup in his mouth and dancing with a blonde woman.
“Rip @donnydavis1 can’t believe you are gone brother,” Steven captioned the clip. “We were just hanging out the other day.”
He continued: “Everyone that met you loved you and I’m so thankful to have had you in my life and to call you a friend.”
Longtime friend Jeff Beacher told TMZ: "Donny broke barriers in the little people community and was an inspiration to his peers.
“He will be missed terribly but his legacy and the impact he had on those who loved him will live on forever."
For close to 20 years, Donny could be seen at Jeff’s Vegas performance club, Beacher’s Madhouse, starring in a vaudeville-inspired variety show.
