Bill was a coworker of mine, but more importantly he was a brother in arms. He was one of the most honest and helpful Police Officer I ever had the pleasure of working with. His ready laugh and polite integrity made him treat every person with dignity and respect. He will be missed by me and by many. May he rest in eternal peace.

Preyers-Condolences to All the Donovan family and friends who grieve Billy's passing. I remember Billy from Kindergarten-6th grade @ Farragut. He was one of the guys. Back then he had blonde hair & always a huge smile with Glen Campbell good looks! Billy was honest, hard working and sincere. Few have done it better my friend.

A most heartfelt condolences out to the family of Bill. I can't help but think how among all the friends, acquaintances and others throughout my life Bill was always an enjoyable, honest and fair upstanding man with a most loving and caring heart. Strong willed and able to overcome the hardest of times. It would do well for SO many to emulate his character and qualities. In good conscious regarding his life career I will add he is of the last true bloods that truly dedicated themselves to protect and serve as it was meant to be. God Bless All. Bill shall rest in peace with our Lord for eternity.
