Donovan James Martz
What Donovan was like
My son was the baby of my 4 children and his Fathers only child. He was an extraordinarily talented athlete and exceptionally smart. An amazing Father, son, brother and a loving devoted partner to his son’s mother.
Fondest memories of Donovan
My Mother’s Day and Birthday gifts he made for me as a child to his phone calls, thoughtful cards, heartwarming Facebook posts and funny texts when he got older. No matter what he always remembered me on my birthday and Mother's Day.
How Donovan will be missed
I miss everything about him. Every hair on his head. His laugh. His incredible hugs that melted all my troubles away. The way he stuttered when he was excited to tell me something. But most of all I will miss his unconditional love for me. Our exceptional bond and the privilege of watching him build that same bond with his son, Davian.
How Donovan will be remembered
As a good Father, a loving son, talented athlete, empath and an advocate for anyone or anything that needed it.
