I worked with and knew Donovan for many years. He lifted my spirits every time our paths crossed. One of my favorite memories was an evening of decorating holiday cookies and talking over Noam Chomsky...many bad puns and tears of laughter. My heart goes out to his family and all in his life right now. I will always hold you in my heart Donovan.

I knew Donovan for a short while. My life was enriched by knowing him. My deepest condolences go out to his family and his friends. He has touched more lives and influenced more existences than he or his family will ever know. You raised a good son. May you find peace.
