Timothy Donovan Obituary
Timothy J. Donovan, aged 42, passed away on February 14, 2024, in New Braunfels, Texas. Born in New York City on November 16, 1981, Timothy spent his childhood in Kinnelon, New Jersey. He later resided in Wilmington, North Carolina, and, most recently, made his home in New Braunfels, Texas, for the past five years.
Timothy was a proud alumnus of Kinnelon High School and went on to earn a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice from UNC Wilmington. An enthusiastic lacrosse player in his high school years, Timothy also enjoyed snowboarding, riding dirt bikes, working out, and fondly remembered family trips to Cape Cod and South Carolina.
He is survived by his father, Timothy Joseph Donovan, and his mother, Margaret "Peggy" Donovan, both of whom cherished him deeply. Timothy's legacy also lives on through his sister, Kathy Hokenson, and her husband, Andrew; his beloved niece, Scarlett; as well as Allie, with whom he shared a cherished and enduring bond, and her son, Hudson, whom he loved and nurtured with all his heart.

Timmy - it's so hard to believe I haven't seen you in 20 years, especially when our childhoods were so intertwined. These past few days, I was reflecting on all of those years and it brought back so many fond memories from our days at Montessori, or nagging your mom to hurry up making the amazing cheesy mashed potatoes (who you affectionately called Mama Dukes), or hanging out every Friday night at SRB to BBQ dinner or spending every Chrismas Eve with the Moorhouses, Costins and DiBetittos well into our high school years guessing who would be Santa that year.
When we were little you were like an older brother to me - Ill never forget the time we drove you to Vermont to snowboard/ski and you annoyed me the entire way there in the back seat of the car (and my parents yelled at me), or when your Dad bought you the HUGE dirt bike and I was so nervous for you to ride it, but you were so proud to show it off. There were countless high school parties where you were always there lurking around the corner looking out for me with the typical Timmy smirk.
It's crazy how much time has passed, and I am sorry that we won't have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime. Thank you for the memories.
Mr. Donovan, Mrs. Donovan, Kathy, Andrew and Scarlet - words can't express how truly sorry and sad I am for you all. Much love to you all.
