It so wonderful when parents are able to think quickly and be so thoughtful and giving to help others in their own time of tragedy.

Wonderful decision to donate – but such a pity the accident happened.

What a wonderful family. I’m so sorry for you losing Riley. To help so many other families was a selfless decision.

What a wonderful way to spread their love for Riley. Nothing can bring him back unfortunately. RIP young Riley

What beautiful people!

Oh my, what a decision to make. RIP Riley.

Such a tragedy, would be so difficult to make a decision like this when facing such a situation.

My brother is just like Riley.
I lost my younger brother in 2014 due to a skateboard accident and although he wasn’t on the registry as a family we made the decision to donate his organs rather than to be buried in the ground. As a result my parents have met the man that has my brother’s heart and have listened to it and also met the man that has my brother’s lungs. Even know they weren’t supposed to find out who they were, they were able to do so and keep in contact with them. My brother lives on in their lives now.

Such great human spirit in the face of tragedy. My husband and I are on the organ donor registry and I applaud this family for what they’ve been able to do. I know that if anything did happen to my son, I would want his organs to be donated, to save the lives of others and to give other families hopes and new beginnings. I think there is no greater gift.

That is a decision you would not wish on anyone but it is a beautiful way of making a terrible situation a little bit better. I have spoken to my children about organ donation and it is something we will do if we have to make that decision.

Beautiful ! I can imagine that Riley’s death feels a little less worthless and a little less pointless because of this.

Such a hard decision. Surely it would feel a little like giving up hope.

It’s wonderful what they decided to do!
RIP Riley
