"Troy's legacy is being generous while still being humble. He would give the shirt off his back and never expect nor accept any type of payback. He would help people in need after hail/rain storms, floods, and fires. He would plow people's lanes after a heavy snow. We would make donations anonymously, not wanting any type of recognition. The man was a pillar on integrity as well. He knew who was watching him all the time and knew who he had to answer to in the end. This is Troy's legacy. Listen to Tim McGraw's song "Humble and Kind", I can hear him singing this to our children and now grandchildren." - Sharon Buss, spouse of donor hero, Christopher "Troy" Buss

"Brad’s legacy is that he spent an entire career doing what he loved, and that was being a veterinarian helping creatures big and small, furry and feathered.

Brad’s kindness and compassion for all living things didn’t end when he left work. No matter if it was a holiday or a weekend or a 2:00 am phone call, he was always there to help a pet in need.

In his spare time, his hobbies were running, fishing and gardening. He wanted to be an organ donor to continue helping others. As his wife, it also brings me comfort knowing that his passing, while sudden, helps others to have a better quality of life."

Chris, wife of donor hero, Dr. Brad Gengenbach, DVM

Today is ! 💪 Every day, recipients are able to move their bodies and participate in their favorite activities all because of the generosity of their donors. ❤️

"I was introduced to tai chi at my local YMCA. This was before my lung transplant and I was on high flow oxygen. I enjoyed it particularly because it was something I could actually do. After my transplant in 2015, I had an opportunity to be trained as a teacher. Presently, I teach in the Cardio-Pulmonary Rehab Department of CHI St. Francis in Grand Island. Classes are open to the public with a $20 charge for a key card. The gift I received enables me to assist others with health challenges to find an enjoyable exercise and companionship. We focus on strength and balance, with each class closing with relaxation and guided imagery. I also teach chair yoga at the same location." - Joan Hopkins, lung recipient

"Everett loved nature. He loved taking pictures of nature and stars. He was working on his Urban Forestry Degree from Oregon State University. He already was a Nebraska Arborist and a member of the ISA. His legacy would be to love nature, stars and give a tree a big ol' hug to celebrate how amazing they are!" - Vikki Henry, Mutti of donor hero, Everett Henry

"Barron changed my life by giving me back a better quality of life without dialysis. Before his passing, Barron made the decision to be an organ donor." - Kent Roepke, recipient of donor hero, Barron Blake Mischke

"My brother’s legacy was his next destination.

He spent his life exploring, putting miles on his bike, and traveling to new states and mountain ranges he loved. Whether he was riding toward a new horizon or climbing higher ground in search of the perfect view, he was always chasing something new. In the end, his final journey became a gift. As an organ donor, he made it possible for others to keep moving toward their next destination. Knowing his generosity will help someone else continue their story brings me a little more comfort, and a little more joy.

His ride, his outdoors, and his spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the journeys he’s made possible." - Kelly Benson, sister of donor hero, Kevin "Trapper" Davidson

"My dad, Jim, was one of the helpers Mr. Rogers said to look for. Looking at him you wouldn’t think that at all! He was a biker guy with a ZZ Top beard but a heart of gold, despite calling himself an old cranky curmudgeon. He would give you the shirt off his back if needed. He loved camping, motorcycles, blues music, dogs and helping others.

He helped stranded motorcycle riders and campers who needed it. My sister and I got help from him multiple times with things, especially car repairs! He also helped Omaha Police years ago recuse a man who climbed an interstate sign. Dad had repelling gear in his truck. He was given a letter of thanks and was in the paper but never told anyone. We found it in his desk after he died. That’s just who he was, a helper. He never did it for any other reason other than it was just the decent thing to do.

I’m so happy that even after his death he can continue to help others with his tissue donation. I think it would make him happy to know he is still helping others! I’m so proud that he is able to continue helping others." - Nikki Hecht, daughter of donor hero, James Hecht
