Dear, Donovan. You are a true inspiration, gift and a treasure. Thank you for encouraging, talking and sharing your heart with me. With tears on my face and heaviness in my heart, I must say I miss you beyond words. My friend may the peace of God, surpass all understanding. I love you and I will forever cherish our friendship as I continue to inspire others just as you did me. #loveliveson

Donovan,
I’ve known you since you were about 10 years old. You went on and did great things that helped and touched people and their lives. You made an impact on so many young lives and that will not go unnoticed. Rest on buddy, you have your wings now. Fly high. Job well done.

I want to thank you for being an amazing mentor and friend. Your infectious tenacity and words of encouragement really has helped me become a stronger educator. Much love and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Rest easy Donovan.

Thank you for providing seeds of motivation and the gift of forgiveness. Even when I was a stranger to you, you showed me love and that only grew as we got to know one another. You were a gift to so many.
