Donovan Bell-Paramore Obituary

Donovan's Life's Journey

To everything there is a season; a time to be born"..Ecclesiastes 3:1
On a seemingly warm sunny day, Donovan Laron Paramore was born on May 25th, 1997 to the parentage of Ronald Paramore and the late Latonia D. Bell-Paramore, in the great City of Chicago, Illinois. He received his formal education from Arnold Mireles Grammar School, George W. Pullman Elementary School and then Fenwick High School.
"When I was a child" II Corinthians 13:11
Donovan affectionately known as "Lil Bishop" was a great family man; he loved being around and participating in all family events. He was surrounded by his siblings Darlene and JayTee; they shared a great unbreakable bound of friendship, laughter and most of all, love.
Church was a very intricate part of Donovan's life. He was an active church member, growing up under the Leadership of the late Dr. D. Rayford Bell and the Christ Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith. To describe who he was, Donovan would be labeled as fellow musician, radical praiser, and an anointed young man of GOD with a bright future ahead of him.
Donovan was a visionary and progressive soul, that had aspired to start his own company, with the help of GOD in February 2016, Donovan launched his business DLaron Designs to express his creativity. From there he became employed with Adam. J Casey Funeral Services of Distinction doing memorial marketing campaigns that expanded to different flyers, banners, to most recently church events.
"A time to love'. Ecclesiastes 3:4
Donovan had a genuine love for GOD, which was far greater to him than anyone could imagine. On July 29, 2016, he met a beautiful young lady at the PCAF Convention in Detroit by the name of Ashley Hyche, and later in September while visiting Indianapolis he asked to take her hand in courtship. This union would complete Donovan's very being.
"I am now ready to be offered" II Timothy 4:6
On December 18th, 2016 "in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye" Donovan heard the master say, "Well Done Thy Good & Faithful Servant" he crossed the finish line of this life, and transitioned from earthly labor to his heavenly reward. Donavon Laron Paramore was greeted at the pearly gates of heaven with open arms by his mother, Latonia D. Bell, His Great Grandfather Bishop Dr. D Rayford. Bell, and his Grandfather Deacon Harvey Lee Rayford Bell.
