Several people may have noticed the cross and bundle of mementos lain out on the shoulder of McCall Blvd near Boulder Ridge Middle School. This is a site of mourning for friends and family of 19 year old Donovan Adams, who lost his life in a tragic car accident on June 6th.
In efforts to raise money for Donovan’s family in
this troubling time, several upcoming events have been planned in order for the
community to pay their respects.
As Donovan’s passion for football
was well known even outside of his alma mater Heritage High School, a “Legacy
of Donovan Adams” football game will be held on Friday, June 15 at 6 pm. This
event will take place at Heritage Lakes Park, where donations will be greatly
appreciated. A bake sale will be ongoing, and all money collected will be going
directly to the Adams Family.
Secondly, a mountain hike will be
held on Saturday, June 16th to place a memorial cross atop the
“Heritage Hill” in Donovan’s honor. Everyone is welcome to the hike, and are
asked to meet at Heritage High School no later than 8:30 am.
Lastly, a tailgate party will be
held that evening at 4:30pm at Heritage High School. This event is a final
celebration of Donovan’s life and will be followed by a memorial held at the
high school stadium at 6:30 pm.
For those who cannot attend these
events but are still interested in making a contribution to the Adams family
may do so through this website.
The other 3 teenagers involved in
the accident are in various states of recovery. Prayers and well wishes from
community members continue to be greatly appreciated.
