The world lost an incredible person. Today we remember Mark Donovan. An amazing father, brother, uncle, and grandpa. Raising Jeffrey, Valiere, Breanna, Autumn, and Timmy is just one of the amazing things he did. Mark was the most loving, caring, funny, and whole hearted person. He loved everyone with every being in His body. He even served in the military, and after continued doing anything to make his and everyone's life the best as possible.
There was nothing that Mark couldn’t achieve. If there was anything he wanted to learn he put his all into it. He even taught all of his kids how to do them, and spent so much time helping teach them everything he possibly could. Family was Mark’s everything and there wasn’t anyone that came into his life that he did not consider family, He loved everyone so unconditionally. He took in so many people and helped everyone even when he didn’t have a lot to give, but that’s just who he was.
Being a grandpa was one of the most rewarding things that he valued and was just so amazing at it. Mark leaves behind his amazing grandkids Ayden, Adlas, Arayallee, Julian, Braxton, Kinsley, and Ivory. He Leaves Behind 3 sisters and a Brother he loved so much as well. Carrie, Cheryl, Kim and Tim.
We will all miss Mark's hilarious sayings, his laughs, his voice, and most importantly, him. He may not be here but he will always be with us and still leave his Mark. He will never be forgotten and truly will be missed. As Mark would say Hoora. So let's remember him today, tomorrow, and forever, as he will live on forever in our hearts.
A Celebration of LIfe was held for Mark on Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
