howdoitknow Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 We just spoke on the telephone not even 2 weeks ago and had a great conversation and he was very excited about his magazine being released for a second straight year. I’m in shock and am heartbroken that he is no longer with us. Hug those you love even closer tonight and tell them how much they mean to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTV Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Not ashamed to admit that I have shed some tears today over losing a friend like this. Tell your friends you care, because you just never know what is going thru their minds. Life is difficult.

BDURHAM Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Donovan Stewart will be missed. I hope that there is something the high school football community in Tennessee can do to show their appreciation of him and to help his children. He kept up with the entire state very well. I have not seen one person do a better job at covering the entire state in the past 20 years on a day-to-day basis. I did not know Donovan personally, but I did communicate with him. I always checked to see what he was writing about. He made a good contribution as a sportswriter and as a devoted fan of Tennessee high school football. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please pray for the family. And for his friends. Shortly after my graduation, one of my closest friends was here one day and gone the next by his own hand...I don't know if or when I will ever fully escape the guilt of "did I miss something" or "was there anything that I could have done" to change the outcome. Don't agonize over something you have zero control over as I did for many years following...you won't find anything there no matter how many nights you spend analyzing every conversation that you can recall in your mind. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osunut2 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 A lot of others have said exactly what I've been feeling. Just awful news. I'll never know what Donovan was going through, but please be kind to others. And teach your kids/grandkids to show that same genuine kindness. You'd be surprised what a smile or a kind word/gesture can do, even for a complete stranger. The world desperately needs more of that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
