Local Organ Donor's Gift of Life to Be Honored in Rose Parade

Boise Weekly | Andrew Crisp

In 2009, 19-year-old Lacey Haye was killed in a motorcycle accident, devastating her family, especially her parents, Stan and Diana. When Lacey filled out her licensing application at the Department of Motor Vehicles, she checked the "organ donor" box.

"Lacey loved Christmas more than anything else," said her father, Stan Haye. "We went out to drink hot cocoa and cut down a Christmas tree in the south hills, that last Christmas we had with her."

Today, her family helped celebrate her double gift of organ donation. This morning, officials from the Idaho Transportation Department, Donate Life Northwest, and the Idaho Donor Registry gathered to commemorate the most special kind of giving: life.

"A gentleman in law enforcement who was down to 90 pounds was given a kidney and liver transplant," said Diana. "Sometimes he’ll write me a letter and say, 'sometimes I can’t help but smile and I know it’s Lacey.'”
