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.
