Donovan S. Crisp, died in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany on Monday, March 14th, 2072 after a long battle with infection stemming from a devastating paper cut sustained while visiting a button collecting convention late in 2071.
Donovan was born in a small town in Ohio called Galion on September 30th, 1987. He lived in Galion throughout his youth, and later graduated from North Central State College with an associate's degree in Human Services. He then spent 3 years working at a Vietnamese vocational school specialized in training Seeing Eye People, due to the ever increasing population of blind dogs in the eastern world. In 2018, he was drafted into the armed forces after the Canadian Elephant War entered its 3rd year. He spent 4 years stationed in the former U.K. before being dishonorably discharged after unwittingly attending an anti-Canadian rally in the spring of 2022.
Donovan returned to Ohio in 2025 and graduated from the Ohio State University, and began working as a parole officer. Six months after beginning his new career he became the first person in the world to survive being shot in the head 36 times. Luckily for him, none of the bullets struck any vital organs. He underwent reconstructive surgery, and made a full recovery. In 2027 he bought a farm and started the Four Puddles Hope Farm; a rehabilitation program built for troubled teens. Over the next 20 years, hundreds of jobs were created and countless lives were changed. He retired in 2047, and handed the Four Puddles Hope Farm to his niece.
In 2048 at the age of 61, Donovan moved to Mozambique to teach English to children and young adults. He was attacked by a wicked baboon in 2052 and lost most of his arms and legs, the fingers and toes at the end of the lost limbs were also lost. After the attack he decided to move to Germany to spend the rest of his life.
While in Germany he became quite the collector, he collected everything from navel lint to old newspapers and McDonald's wrappers; although his favorite items to collect were old buttons. He became heavily involved in the cut-throat hobby of underground button collecting. In 2063, he was arrested for attempting to smuggle illegal, pre-Canadian Elephant War trouser buttons into the country, and was nearly deported. Donovan was released from prison in 2068.
On November 13th, 2071 Donovan was visiting the 10th annual Hamburg Button Collectors Expo, when he received a paper cut while unboxing a shipment of Antique Road Show commemorative buttons. The cut became infected, and spread throughout his body over the next few months. On March 14th, 2072, he was doing Jell-O shots with a group of Amish teens on Rumspringa when he suddenly collapsed; he was pronounced dead on the scene. Donovan was 85 years old.
