Jack Donovan Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Jack Donovan of Holliston, Massachusetts, born in Lawrence, Massachusetts, whose life came to an end on January 15, 2026 at the age of 72, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Jack Donovan to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Jack may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Peg Donovan (Margaret Bresnahan) and Joe Donovan (John); and his sister Kathleen O'Connell. He is survived by: his wife Carol O'Brien Donovan; his sons, Ryan (Maggie Chan) and Alex (Beth); and his granddaughter Mae. He is also survived by many niece/nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
