Donovan Lee Dean, 25
Mr. Donovan Lee Dean of Campbellsville was born on May 19, 1989 in Jacksonville, Florida. He departed this life on February 9, 2015 at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville after a long illness. He was 25 years, 8 months, and 26 days of age. Perhaps Job described Donovan’s life best when he said that man born of woman is of few days, and those full of trouble. But while Donovan’s natural heart struggled, his spiritual heart overflowed with love for all that knew him. His quick and infectious smile could brighten the dullest of days. Donovan loved nothing more than being able to offer a helping hand or a kind word to all.
