Goshen woman urges organ donation to save lives

The Courier-Journal | Emily Hagedorn

Brian James Seyer was 43 and had two young sons.

The Goshen man had recently graduated with his master’s degree in business administration from Sullivan University and had lost 80 pounds in an effort to be healthier.

His wife, Kelly, has a difficult time making sense of his death on Nov. 3, two weeks after he was hit by a car while walking in a crosswalk near the University of Kentucky campus.

But one source of comfort has come from the fact that his kidneys were donated to two men who are similar to Seyer — both 54 years old with two sons.

In an effort to make something positive come from something tragic, Seyer is speaking out as an organ donation advocate.
