James Joseph Donovan
October 7, 1953 - November 28, 2019
James Joseph Donovan, born in Bayonne, NJ in 1953, passed on to his eternal reward on November 28 after fighting a courageous battle with cancer. He was the eldest of four born to James and Jean Donovan and a graduate of Rutgers University. He made his life as a CPA and came to Florida to fulfill his dream of having his own firm in 1980. Jim loved to help people succeed, especially financially. His other passion was being by the water with his family. We will miss his generous heart and his wonderful laugh. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Jeanne, his daughters Kelly Pasley (Sam) and Megan, his son, James, his grandson, Sammy, his father-in-law, Alfred Bown, his sister and brother, Nancy (Ken) and Daniel, and their families. Visitation is on Friday, December 6 at Taylor and Modeen in Jupiter from 6-8pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Jude Catholic Church in Tequesta on Saturday, December 7 at 1pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jim's honor to Miami Rescue Mission or Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County.
