Obituary of Timothy J. Donovan

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.

A memorial gathering will be held in Timothy's honor on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at St. Mary's Stony Hill Church from 10 to 11 AM, followed by a Mass at 11 AM. The family wishes to express their profound gratitude for the support and love extended during this time of loss.

Timothy's memory will be forever cherished by his family and friends, who will miss his spirit and the joy he brought to their lives.
