News on 6 KOTV , Tulsa Oklahoma | Dan Bewley


TULSA, Oklahoma -- A former News On 6 sports reporter and current ESPN anchor hopes the tragic death of his infant son shines a spotlight on the need of organ donations for children.

Dari Nowkhah worked with News On 6 from 2002 to 2004. He's now AT ESPN-U. Last month, his 39-day-old infant son passed away while waiting for a heart transplant.

The 1994 Union High grad worked his way to become the lead anchor for ESPNU. This summer his life took a tragic turn.

Hayden Michael was born on August 12, 2011. He was completely healthy. Six days later, little Hayden was attacked by a virus.
