A moment of silence was held at the Heritage High graduation on June 9th for Donovan, as well as the two seniors who missed the ceremony and are still recovering from the accident in the hospital.
On Saturday, June 16th a hike was held to travel
up Heritage Hill. Friends and family members who embarked on this trip carried
a cross up the hill to place in Donovan’s memory.
Later that evening, a public memorial was held at Heritage
High School. This gave a sense of finality to the remembrance events and
allowed Donovan’s loved ones to share their stories and memories, as well as
donate to the Adam’s family through t-shirts, Henna tattoos of his name, and a
bake sale.
If you missed these events and would still like to donate to
Donovan’s family, you can do so through this website.
There will also be a car wash at Heritage High School on
Saturday, June 23rd from 7am-12pm for $5 per car. Any and all
donations are greatly appreciated.
