Dear Steve and Deb and Family,
It was such a shock to read of Ryan's death. It has been many years since we have been in touch since youth hockey days but those memories are precious. I just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and love is being sent your way. Steve and Joanne Clark

happy birthday

I just learned about Ryan's passing today as I was away from the area for quite some time. Ryan was my supervisor at Glenville Planet Fitness and I looked forward to working with him everyday during our times there. I grew up playing hockey and still did while at Planet Fitness.

Donovan Family,
I had just heard this terrible news this morning.
Ryan was a wonderful person. We can not express the sorrow that we feel from his passing.
He had an uncanny way of making people feel special.
Through our several very long talks at the gym after not seeing him for years I was amazed at how much he remembered us from his young hockey days.
We are so so saddened and our hearts go out to the Donovan family.

Dear Donovan Family,
Last night with a heavy heart, our boy told us of Donny's passing. Donny instructed our Ryan regularly as a Squirt/Peewee back in 2010. He really had a way about him, just so full of knowledge, kindness and integrity. I can still picture the little private talks they had behind the net. I want you to know that Donny's influence on our Ryan, at that young age, was important in so many ways beyond goal tending and will forever be a part of him and a blessing to us....
