    We lost one of our own..... :(

    I don't know how many people know or remember Donovan (Juice) from Juicy Corals and The Live Reef but he passed away this past Sunday. I just thought I would let everyone know.

    Thanks

    We are saddened to hear of the loss of a good friend. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

    Donovan will always be remembered for bringing extraordinarily beautiful corals to the hobby and sharing his knowledge with anyone who cared to join in. We learned a lot from him and will miss him.

    Please keep us informed of the formalities in his honor.

    Wow...I just asked Mitch about him on Saturday night. I hadn't seen him around in a while and was wondering how he was doing. This was definitely not the answer I was hoping to hear.

    Peaceful, loving thoughts to his friends and family.

    I received a message from his mom that said his memorial is this afternoon at the VFW in Debary at 1:00. His moms number is 931-335-1866 if any of you want to help.

    Shocking news..very sorry to hear about it. He had some of the most beautiful corals in his collection. I remember he had a new born baby last year just before MACNA. Will remember his family in our prayers and hope they have the required support and courage while going through this difficult period.
