OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- A man is recovering at a San Francisco hospital after getting an organ transplant, one of several people who received an organ from 23-year-old Charles Butler, Jr., who was shot three days ago in Oakland.
On this Christmas, Butler's family and friends are celebrating the young man and his gift of life to others.
The liver transplant surgery began at 7:45 a.m. Sunday and continued for about six hours. While that surgery was in progress in San Francisco, a church congregation in Richmond was paying tribute to Butler, a young man who is giving so much even in death.
