Ty Bray Cave Springs, GA Team Georgia July 08, 1974 - August 02, 2002 A giving heart keeps on giving... At 28 years of age, Ty became a hero- an organ, tissue, and eye donor to many recipients, saving and enhancing lives. I was one of those honored recipients - I was gifted his heart. Ty was an exceptional artist whose artistic eye could see what others wouldn't notice. The son of Jean and Larry Bray, Ty was the youngest of his 7 siblings. His daughter Sheila was only 2 when he passed away. His smile was contagious and his fun loving personality brightened the days. I met his family 5 years after my transplant and how blessed I am to call them friends. He is loved, missed, and thought about every day.

Trying to process it all & being overwhelmed knowing who Rickey is we decided to honor his wishes. Because giving back was Rickey. Everyone who knew him always said his smile was infectious & he had a heart of gold! He would gather donation & provide to families at the Plastic Surgery Unit at CHOP Hospital where he was a patient for over 20 years. He was always helping someone in need. Family & Friends would say it was impossible not to love this kid, or Rickey was truly the definition of a Free Spirit! His little sister states My big Brother Rickey always looked after me he’s still my hero. Through our grief. We wanted to bring something positive out of our loss. So Rickey's voice & legacy will continue on. We have done several projects & continue to do walkathons & The Donor Dash! Giving Back in his Memory.

David Benjamin Fetter Richmond, VA Team Virginia August 26, 1991 - June 04, 2018 “A Friend to All” David’s life was just beginning with a new career, beautiful new apartment and a new puppy, Leo, that he loved so much. David lived his 26 years to the fullest by spending time with family and friends, traveling and making the most of each day. He touched the lives of everyone he met. He lived his life by his motto of “Life is all about family, friends and making memories.” I believe he did just that.

Kara Somers Sidney, OH Team Ohio September 26, 1961 - April 15, 2016 Kara Somers--The Sweetheart! We want to remember our Kara as a genuine, kind, and caring young lady. She had so many friends...many of whom we'd not met until she was gone. But the theme was consistent--she was "My best friend!" As we go about our lives, let's all make an effort to be kind to others...one never knows when we will make a small (or large) difference in someone's life. She's looking down on us now, smiling! The name Kara means "beloved," and she certainly is! She lives among us. Angles are real.

Colin Cornett Salem, IN Team Kentucky June 13, 1994 - July 12, 2012 Colin's Memory Remembering our son Colin Cornett ❤️💙💚 It was a bright warm summer day when our son, brother and uncle were killed in a accident very close to home. He survived just long enough to be a organ, eye, and tissue donor to 49 people in 16 states. He was 18 and 30 days, but he made this decision at the age of 15, so we knew we had to carry out his last wishes. We have met 3 recipients. Colin loved his life and everyone who was in it. He loved to fish everyday with his brother Cody, he rode dirt bikes, 4 wheelers and did anything that included mud. He also built his own little cabin in woods that he stayed in often. He also loved to cut wood and work very hard. All his friends called him Pete. He's very missed and loved to this day, love forever Colin. Mom
