A collection of memories shared by donor families

Zachary Glen AndersonAugust 22, 2018

Zachary Glen Anderson entered this world with an infectious personality and grew up smiling, laughing and hugging everyone he know. He was a social

butterfly who never met a stranger. At only age 25, he impacted a lot of people who truly loved him, and his tragic sudden accident was totally unexpected.

Yet…his final, defining Facebook statement is ironically this:“Whatever happens is God’s will…it’s how you roll with it that determines what

comes next.”THIS IS PROFOUND! We love and miss you so much and will see you again in

heaven, our precious Zack. Rest in peace.

Charlie BaumJanuary 2, 2018

Charlie had a heart of gold. He was loved by all.

again. I pray we do meet again.

Rest easy, Charlie.

Miss you.

Charles Andrew Baum, Jr.January 2, 2018

Charlie was always the life of

the party and was loved by all.

her with me. I rejoice in knowing her organs live on in others.

Always in our hearts,

Love, Mom, Dad, Alex and son, Elijah

rest of my life and others, too.

those who knew him.

Gerardo Fraga IbarraDecember 6, 2018

There are moments in life when you wish you could bring someone down from heaven. Spend the day with them just one more time, give them one more hug; kiss them good-bye; or hear their

voice again. One more chance to say, “I love you.”

Always in our hearts, “Rich”

A newly lit candle shined bright and farIt dreamed of one day being a glorious star

It was brighter than any candle its sizeThat is why it comes as no surprise

That the candle was fueled from a source far greaterIt came directly from his heavenly creator

The candle knew that light was the keyTo shine on all who chose to believe

Just like his creator who is the light to all menThe candle reflected that “light” to his friends

The candle was extinguished before it was nightBut it still gives off a great, glorious light

How can this be? You may askBecause he shines on in his family and friendsHe passes the torch and challenges us in kind

“Share that light of life for all to find”We shall always remember…our friend, our buddy…our SON!

God gave us beautiful Jessica to love and cherish for 29 short years. I am

not sure Jessica fully understood how deeply she was loved by her family,

friends, and more importantly, her heavenly Father. Jessica means “God

beholds.” Jessica, God “Saw you” before you were born and had a plan for

you. He observed every step you took along life’s journey. God beheld

your beauty and your love, compassion, humbleness, joy, faith, creativity,

boldness, and so much more! Most of all, he “beheld” you as you were

ushered into His presence! We miss you and will forever have a void in our

hearts and lives…But rest knowing God, our Creator, BEHOLDS YOU!

just smile back…

Craig Colton RobinsonMay 21, 2018

Colton was such a loving caring person. He would always lend a hand to even a stranger. His passion was racing dirt open wheel modifieds. He also battled Type 1 diabetes from the age of 7. He was always a fighter, but after three

major surgeries the opioids took over his life. In May of 2018 Colton suffered an overdose and was pronounced brain dead upon arriving at the hospital

despite efforts from EMT and doctors. We, as a family, speak openly because it is becoming more common for people to not call the ambulance at the time of

an incident out of fear that they will get into trouble.

As a family, we never questioned donating. We had peace knowing that Colton’s life served another purpose. Colton will forever be in our hearts and

we thank God every day for having him in our lives even if it was only 26 years.

Zachary Michael SalomonOctober 28, 2018

Beloved son, grandson, brother. Zachary was a little ball of energy

states and most of all, he loved anything to do with weather. You

taught us so much during your short time here on earth. We all miss

and love you so much. We all look forward to being reunited with you

someday in heaven.

favorite and he always would serve them and say, “Cooked with love.”

Thurman had a love for his wife that few ever experience. They enjoyed traveling the world and creating lifetime memories together. He loved music and knew the name and artist of almost every song in all music genres. He is

life worthwhile.

I need you to know all the love you left behind will forever live
