About | Michael was in a motorcycle accident of duty while serving the Navy almost 8 years. He was stationed in San Diego CA and passed away at the age of 25. As a family we decided to donate his organs where he was diagnosed as brain-dead. We are very PROUD to say that Michael saved 4 lives including a 11 year old girl from New Orleans who received his heart. According to the nurse that handled my brothers case she only had a 24 hour window opportunity of surviving. Now she has has a whole life ahead of her. He also helped a 34 year old male, 40 year old female and a 58 year old female from Washington. We are very proud to say that even though Michael is no longer with us physically he is will ALWAYS be with us. I love you Mike and till we meet again....
