It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Donovan Cammalleri, a vibrant and beloved 10th-grade student at Snider High School in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Donovan passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a community of classmates, teachers, family, and friends heartbroken by this devastating loss.
A proud member of the Snider High School Marching Band, Donovan brought warmth, dedication, and joy to everything he was part of. Whether it was through the powerful notes of his instrument or the kindness he showed others, Donovan left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His enthusiasm for learning and compassion for his peers created a sense of unity and spirit that reached far beyond the band room.
Donovan will be remembered for his bright smile, generous heart, and the way he lifted others up simply by being himself. He was not only a gifted musician, but a deeply empathetic young man whose presence enriched the lives around him.
The Snider High School community is providing support services for students and staff coping with this unimaginable loss. Plans for a memorial service to celebrate Donovan’s life and legacy will be announced in the coming days.
In this time of mourning, we extend our deepest condolences to Donovan’s family, friends, and all who loved him. May his memory continue to inspire kindness, music, and connection in all who remember him.
Rest in peace, Donovan. Your music and your spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
