I was a childhood friend of Donovan’s. We went elementary school and Junior High together. I had recently just found him on LinkedIn but didn’t have a chance to really speak with him. I know he will be missed by all of his loved ones. He was a great friend to me as a kid. Donovan and his parents really helped me through some rough times. Truly my deepest condolences to his family.
