You'll never be forgotten bro. It's always been love since our younger hoopin days, till our schools days at Messmer and after. We use to bump into each other a lot because our ppl linked and we always messed with each other.. I remember plenty talks and lil stuff we did bro. I remember stuff about your fam like how your pops was a coach for y'all or how much love you had for ur mom, aunts and bros.. It's always love bro, still salty .. Love foolie

I am a person who attended Elementary school with Donovan. I may be a year late but I am just now finding out. All I remember is him being as easy going as any one you would meet, him and I was close for a while. Growing up stretched us apart. R.I.P Man, I am sorry!!

Not a day has passed that I haven't thought about you. You will be in our hearts forever Donavan. Love and miss you dearly. Mom

Donavan, my sweet little cousin. I will always remember you as the little boy who got on my nerves one minute, and made me laugh the next. Some of my most memorable and favorite childhood memories include you in them. I remember I used to look forward to coming over and visiting you, your mom and baby Harlan. You always made me come outside and play basketball with you even though I didn't want to lol! You have touched so many lives in so many different ways. You are terribly missed and those memories I have of you I will cherish forever! May you rest in peace!
Love,
Your big cousin Jen

I am truly saddened at the news of Donavan's passing. I remember what an energetic and sensitive young man he was. What I remember most is how Donavan and his mother interacted. It was obvious that he came from a very loving and strongly knit family.
My heart goes out to all of his family.
Sincerely,
