Jayden Alexander Donovan

August 9, 2023

Jayden Alexander Donovan was born on August 9, 2023. He lived for 3 hours and 46 minutes before he passed peacefully in the arms of his parents. He weighed 4 lbs 3 oz.

Jayden was the son of Alex and Megan Donovan. He is survived by two siblings, Samantha (6) and James (2). Jayden is preceded in death by his sibling Jackson (8 weeks). Jayden is celebrated by his grandparents John and Chris Karnish, Phil and Rita Nelsen, and Jerry Donovan. He is also celebrated by aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Jayden gave us a lifetime of love during his short time on earth. 

A Memorial Service will be held at St. Robert Bellarmine Church on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at 6 pm. 

Jayden was diagnosed with Early Pregnancy Renal Anhydramnios. The RAFT trial, conducted by Johns Hopkins, is testing treatments as this diagnosis is universally fatal for babies. In lieu of flowers we would be pleased to have you support their research to help other babies with this fatal diagnosis in Jayden’s honor.
