Jay Jenkins of Warren, NJ, was known for his big heart and easygoing spirit. In April 2020, Jay passed away unexpectedly at the age of 34, leaving behind his devoted wife, Jessica, and their newborn son, Thomas. Though his life was far too short, Jay’s legacy continues through the lives he saved and enhanced as an organ and tissue donor.

Jay met Jessica while attending East Stroudsburg University. The two were married in 2016 and built a life together grounded in love, laughter, and shared dreams. Jay took great pride in his work as a self-employed “jack of all trades,” especially the renovation of a home he owned, and was known for his strong work ethic and willingness to help others. Outside of work, Jay found joy in the simple things.

He loved riding his Harley, listening to classic rock, collecting coins, and spending time with family and friends. A true nature lover, Jay had a special passion for birdwatching, earning him the affectionate nickname “Jay Bird.” His genuine bear hugs, infectious grin, and playful spirit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

“Organ and tissue donors save and enhance so many lives, and they are heroes,” said Jessica. “Jay is our hero. I can’t thank NJ Sharing Network enough for everything they do for donor families and transplant recipients.”

"My daughter, Samantha Denti, died in June of 2025 at the age of 40 years & 1 month. Sam received the miracle of a heart transplant, at the very last minute, on 9/28/2013 at the age of 28.

While going through her writings and journals, our family would like to share a letter that she wrote on her 10 year heart transplant anniversary. She never found out who the donor was, but she was always so thankful."

—Laura, mother of heart recipient Sam

Today is National Donor Day, and we celebrate the lifesaving impact of organ and tissue donation. 💙💚

For Josephine Riley, a mother of two from Lake Hopatcong, this month marks the 11th anniversary of the heart transplant that saved her life.

“It was exciting and terrifying all at once,” said Josephine. “I was incredibly grateful, but I also understood that another family was experiencing a profound loss.”

Since then, she’s traveled, celebrated milestones with her family, and embraced life fully.

“There is no greater gift than the gift of life,” Josephine shared. “One decision can give someone else the chance to keep living, loving, and making memories.”

Last October we shared the story of Katie, who was preparing to donate a kidney to her mom Kathy. Katie recently visited NJSN headquarters and shared how well she and her mom are doing post-transplant. Katie was so grateful to give her the incredible gift of a second chance at life.

The impact of Katie's selfless act went beyond just the two of them. It affected their entire family, her mother’s friends, her coworkers, and even the patients her mom cares for as a nurse. “It is one of the most powerful gifts a person can give," said Katie.

Inspired by her kidney donation, the company where Katie works,Robert Half, hosted a fundraiser, and raised over $4,000 for our Foundation. Thank you to Robert Half for their generous support of our lifesaving mission in honor of Katie and Kathy! 💙💚
