Michael James Donovan (24 May 1954 - 12 Oct 2016)

It's hard to find the right words for such a true gentleman as Michael. A wonderful example of how we should live our lives, full of joy, happiness, warmth and love. A family man whose family meant so much, a caring man who couldn't do enough.

A colleague who would never let you down, and always go the extra mile. You will be missed by me and so many Mike and I would never have been able to thank you for the invaluable support you gave me and all the clubs in the CMSFL. Your loss will be felt far and wide, but you'll never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace my friend.

Sending all my love and biggest hugs to all of the family today. Sorry I can't be there to say good bye Michael, you are leaving so many happy memories for everyone. RIP Karen xx

We will all miss you Michael and think of you with happy memories, your Family of course, also your many, many friends. It has been a real pleasure to have known you through Surrey Valley, the Gipsy and then the Municipal Committee, a warm human being and gentleman in every sense.
