1984 - 2025
KJ Donoghue was an avid member of the Burning Man community, where he was known by his nickname "Fixit" - a testament to his skills as a carpenter and his willingness to help others. He was a dedicated volunteer and a vital part of the SkyBar camp, which held a special place in his heart. He was always there with a helping hand and the tools and skills to get the job done.
With his trusty Dewalt tools always at hand and his signature cowboy hat, KJ was known for his exceptional carpentry skills and his expertise as a fire tender, creating memorable gatherings around his perfectly crafted fires. His passion for helping others and fixing things made him a beloved figure in the community.
