Patrick Michael Donovan

I was lucky enough to share the slopes of Vail with Patrick and his friends in the 1990s. I have fantastic memories of Pops Donovan renting the race course for us and the condo by the river. Today sliding down the slopes of Mammoth those memories floated back to the surface. Thank you Donovan family for your generosity and friendship during the time that our paths overlapped. If you see this note I hope it finds you doing well.

Patrick,
You are still terribly missed and loved. 9 years, sleep well my brother.

It's been nearly 8 years and I still miss you as much as the day you went away. As I experience life's joy and pain, I always find myself wishing I could share it with you.

Pat's spirit is as strong today as it was the first day we met. I smile and laugh often thinking of him.

Thinking about Patrick today on his Birthday!

I just hear JACKOPIERCE's song "May the Road Rise to Meet You" thought of Pat. I hope this girls and wife are doing well. I know how much he is missed and pray for your family often and wish you years of happiness with your grand daughters! Sincerely, Jennifer Parker Hutchison, sister of Christine Parker Hight.

It has been two years since Patrick's passing and it still seems like it was yesterday when I got the call that Patrick was no longer with us. He was more than a brother-in-law, he was a loving husband, devoted brother and son and without a doubt would have been a wonderful father. I think of him every day and miss him even more. I know he is constantly watching over us and lives on in our hearts. My one regret was not telling him how lucky we were he was a part of our family. Till we meet...

Dear Donavan family- I knew Patrick many years ago and remember him being the nicest person. Always positive with a smile and a kind word. So sorry to hear of his passing. Sending my deepest sympathies to you and all extended family.

Thought of you last week on Pat's birthday. I enjoyed looking at the additional pictures you have added to the sight. Think of you and Pat often!
Love,
