Donovan Brackens
July 10, 1977 — July 7, 2020
Donovan P. Brackens, 42 of Columbus, Ohio went home to be with our Lord on July 7, 2020.
He was born July 10, 1977 to David and Janey (Lamb) Brackens.
He is preceded in death by his father, David Brackens; grandparents, William and Blanche Brackens as well as Arville and Willa Lamb; aunts, Diana Brackens and Robyn Brackens; uncles, Timothy Lamb and Bryan Brackens.
Surviving loved ones include his devoted mother, Janey Brackens-Hernandez; his high school sweetheart and loving friend of 26 years, Sherry (Ingram) Brackens and their children Kara and Donovan D. Brackens - who he was a proud father to. Adoring girlfriend, Kelley McGrath; siblings, Dalina Brackens, Angie Brackens and Joshua Brackens; nieces and nephews, Dustin, Courtney, Alexia, Andy, Jacob, Ashton, Lyndsie, Kaleb, Trestin, Josh, Levi, Tommy, Cynthia, Mason, McKenzie, Kaden, Hunter, Hannah, Faith, TJ and Trista, as well as family members and friends.
Donovan also known as "Big D" was simply one of a kind. He was a hard-working, loyal, loving man as well as an overall protector of those he loved - especially his baby girl and baby boy. He was a faithful Oakland Raider's fan, even during rough seasons and collected anything with the logo on it. Growing up he played football and wrestled from little league through high school, winning many state titles and championships. He loved a good adventure but was not a fan of heights. Dominos (or bones) was his favorite game of all time to play, mental math was not a problem for D which meant that game came naturally. His magnetic personality meant he never met a stranger and no matter where he went, he knew someone. He had the ability to light up a room with his infectious smile and laugh. He loved watching movies with his baby girl and going on long drives with his baby boy.
The family will receive guests on Thursday, July 23, 2020 from 5-8:00 p.m. at Newcomer-SW Chapel, 3393 Broadway in Grove City. The Funeral service will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Friday followed by burial at Sunset Cemetery.
