(Memphis 12/26/11) A Mid-South man's life-saving decision will be honored during the upcoming Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA. Michael Gilmore is one of 72 people that will be featured on the "Donate Life" float.
The 24-year-old from Helena-West Helena, AR was shot to death in April 2010 in his apartment in Jonesboro, AR. Gilmore was a student at Arkansas State University studying to be an athletic trainer. His murder remains unsolved.
Jerelene Gilmore, Michael's mother, decided to donate his organs because she and her son had a conversation about it years earlier. She says, "Since he decided to donate his organs, I really feel that the decision was easy because he had made the choice."
