Family and friends of Scott Davis spent a full day creating a floragraph for the Donate Life Rose Parade floatthat will pay tribute the 19-year-old who donated his organs three years ago.
"I was really excited that we could honor Scott in that way and bring acknowledgment to donating organs," his mom Mindy Davis said.
Davis, a Mater Dei MVP wrestler, died in June 2008 when he suffered head trauma after a skateboarding accident in Huntington Beach.
His family, friends, and students and teachers from Mater Dei drove up to Pasadena on Dec. 17 to help decorate the float that will feature floral art of Davis and 71 other deceased organ donors from across the United States.
The donors, memorialized through petals, seeds and grains, were chosen to represent the millions who are impacted by organ donation.
The float, titled "One More Day", will feature large and bright colorful clocks symbolic of the extra time organ recipients will have with their family and friends because of donors.
