my heart goes out to the family, but also to the caregivers. As a retired critical care nurse I will never forget my patients who became donors after their brain and and spirit had left. I’d cry, wipe the tears, go back to the room and open the window to bid good bye to the precious soul I had known in this life. Then it was time to get to my other patients because the need is real and the sobbing would have to wait until I was home. I can reassure the families that we never forget these patients.
My son donated his organs three years ago. I left his flag behind for a few days so his caregivers could sign it and leave little notes to him. I did that because people like you made my experience so much easier. I remember he had been declared brain dead a full 24 hours and when the nurse came to give him a shot in his arm he talked him through it like he would any other patient. I saw the work it took to prep him for allocation and was amazed at what it takes. I know transplant teams get alot of accolades and they deserve them. There is whole other group of people who are just as vital to the process and those people are YOU and your colleagues. You are the unsung heroes and on behalf of my son Christopher and myself thank you very much.
I read he passed away from Brain Cancer. I have it and went thru two surgeries. There is nothing left to do. I didn’t know you can still donate cause of having cancer. I am donating my brain to DUKE to one day stop Brain Cancer. But will look into donating other parts. Never smoke and not a drinker. Thank you for this beautiful video and may he RIP in Heaven 🙏🏻🇺🇸
So sorry you are suffering but what a selfless thing to do to donate life & allow another human being live after your passing. You will live on in that person. I believe God will bless you and welcome you into his kingdom of glory where there's no more pain no more suffering. I pray for you and your loved ones.. "Lord please bless Jason as he is your child. Please allow his passing to be as painless as it can be & welcome him into your loving arms. Even though I don't know him we are all brothers and sisters in your name. Thank you God for your love and kindness in Jesus' name, AMEN!
I have been registered to be an organ donor since I've been 18. Then I was diagnosed with cancer (Leukemia) so I looked into it to see if I could still donate if I died from cancer & from what I could find yournot able to donate (at least with Leukemia) but I told my family I would like to be donated to science for cancer research. I want to help in whatever way I can.
My heart goes out to his family and all who loved him. Looks so young. He lives on in those that recieved by this honorable gift. Many prayers to his family.
How ever do you find the right words to acknowledge the profound gift these parents ha d given to others awaiting transplants at a gimexin their lives of terrible grief and then making this wonderful decision to rebirth their son's life in this way. Sincere Condolences.
You can never find enough words of gratitude. You think about the loved ones people of lost . Every time I look at my son I’m so grateful for the donor but also so saddened of a son some family lost . My son had a kidney and pancreas transplant nearly 3 years ago . Every year On the day of his operation I say a pray for the donor and his family. All heroes
These people deserve so much more for their thoughtful gifts. This is probably the most difficult decision a person can make. God bless each and everyone who has donated the gift of life to another person
Beautiful and heartbreaking watching everyone saying good-bye can you imagine the other side saying hello we've been waiting for you. Love on both sides. Amen.

I am so very sorry for your loss. What a selfless thing to do...to save the lives of others...before going to meet our Lord and Savior. A part of your loved one will continue to live...through the lives of others. God bless your family for sharing this . I cried like a baby....but good tears. I loved the balloons sent to heaven...and it shows how much your loved one meant to so many others. God bless your family....thank you for sharing this. Prayers and hugs sent your way from Kentucky.
So sad a beautiful honor walk the balloons released really breaks you're heart that not everyone could come in but they found a way to be part of it. Bless this family their son is a hero
So beautiful everyone outside. Looks like Thomas was loved by many. What a beautiful family. May your Thomas's memory be a blessing in your lives everyday for the rest of each of your lives.
This is devastating. My heart goes out to the family for their terrible loss. But God bless all of you in his family for donating his organs. In the midst of his death he has given others a chance to survive. That's the most precious gift a person can give to another. Rest in peace.
I lost it when they got to the window and signaled for the balloons to be released. I hate what COVID has done during this tragic time. At least he had a support group.
My husband was recipient. If someone's generosity to give their family members liver away period. I pray for the family they gave it their family members organs away. Is a very special gift the people give totally strangers so someone else can live. It's amazing what medicine can do. We're so thankful that people do this in the worst moments of the live. They can think of others in need. It's a long process did the recipient the received the organs have to go through. And we are so grateful.
My Mom told me that there is a reason for everything that happens and it is not for us to question why. When I see a video like this I can’t help but wonder why. This young man’s gift of life to others was a beautiful thing. My condolences to his family and friends.
I think that this honor walk was magical with everyone outside looking up through the windows right at this young man. Then releasing the balloons...looked like blue stars twinkling in the sky. Rest easy💙
Thoughts & prayers for this family. This is a hard road to walk. I pray you have found comfort, strength & peace which only comes through God. I've lost a daughter & know what you feel. God Bless!!
We can't even begin to imagine when we stand before Jesus and our loved ones and everyone says welcome home it's been waiting for you I'm so sorry for your loss but you will see him again and I pray to Jesus a lot for his second coming my health is not great and I am ready to go home but I know that it is in his timing God and his church will be reunited for all eternity no more pain tears car sickness none of that just God's children worshipping him every single day but the angels I Can Only Imagine can't you guys? We would never want to come back here once we get to heaven never and it's hard for the ones left behind that they're Christians Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior we will all be together again God bless you all
I didnt know him or the family but my heart breaks for them! I cannot imagine the pain they must feel but also the honor they must feel donating his organs!
RIP dear angel. May the Lord embrace your beautiful spirit with open arms. My condolences & respect to this loving family. May you find comfort & peace when you feel ready...😰🌹🙏💐
Prayers and thoughts are with you all, May God put his arms around you all and comfort you through this tough time, I am so sorry for your loss, an Angel 👼 looking down on you now.xx❤️❤️🇮🇪
Hi There in my opinion there was a beautiful honor walk for you! If not in the old normal way! I believe our dear Lord holds you in his arms! Rest In Peace!
Every person is here for a purpose, when it's completed, it's time for them to walk on. It doesn't matter if they were here an hour or 80 yrs. This young man's life touched so many others & continues to do so in this last selfless act. My heart hurts for his family & loved ones who are missing him terribly. Bless you all, bless his caregivers, for this is the hardest walk of all. Many prayers.
I’m so sorry, and I’m in need of a kidney, this must be so hard, what a gift to others! God will resurrect him and bless your family! I know his gift will help many! Remember this God loves you all ! Wow the tears won’t stop! God bless you!🇺🇸❤️🦅🌷🌻
Well, I've learned something new today. I didn't know you could donate your organs, etc. after dying from cancer. My condoleances to his family & friends. So sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. We grieve with you and feel your pain too. Please know we send you love and healing prayers for your precious child on his journey home. May GOD BLESS you and lift you up during this sadness and loss.
The fact that you're laughing, is absolutely disgusting. Shame on you! This family has lost a loved one and they are grieving. Definitely nothing funny about that at all.
I'm not a religious person, but watching this video makes me hope that there is a haven. I didn't get a good look, but he seemed very young :( I'm a mom of 5 kids and I cannot imagine the pain your family and friends are going through. I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you and your family mom for a very long time

Kerry, there is a Heaven. You must know Jesus as you Savior to go there. You must be born again. Tell God you're a sinner (we ALL are). Ask Him to forgive your sins. Tell Him you believe Jesus is His Son and He died for you. The Lord God will reveal Himself to you. If you believe when you pray He will answer. I promise. ❤️
This just goes to show how big donating your body organs are the length of appreciation & respect the hospital & people give before the surgery!!!!!!RIP TO THE ONE DEPATRING FLY HIGH TO THE KINGDOM THAT AWAITS🕊🕊🕊🕊🛐🕊🕊🕊🕊
I'm so so sorry for your lose may God bless you and your family may your brothers rest in peace let all three of them sing and dance with the angels. What you all did for your brother was so beautiful. You all are in my prayers
The UK system is very different. My mother left her body to science and it' was all very pragmatic over this side of the pond. Personally I think the US do things better. Although our donation is automatic unless you opt out. Respect to you and we feel for you even though we are 4000 miles away 💔
Heaven gained another beautiful angel God Bless you all his life still lives on through the ppl he saved my sincere condolences to you all prayers to all the family and friends 💖🙏🙏🙏
My heart and prays to you all what a beautiful thing to do in your time of grief. Know that this young hero is home at peace and will live on in others as he left a piece of him here on earth saving others 🙌🏻🙌🏻👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️ sorry for your pain my the Lord be with you all
I find myself forced to watch...but it's REALLY INCREDIBLY SAD!! REST IN PEACE THOMAS.....YOU WILL LIVE ON because of your AMAZING GIFT to OTHERS!!! PEACE to the FAMILY!!
