"Pasadena, CA 2012 Rose Parade" O-H-I-O

The Ohio State University | Jan Hoover, Fan

Jeremy Doyle died in 1998 and was an organ donor with Lifeline of Ohio. There was a floragraph (a picture covered with flowers) of Jeremy on the 2012 Donate Life Float "One More Day..." in the Rose Parade.

His family (pictured) traveled to Pasadena to help decorate the float and to watch the Rose Parade. Jeremy’s floragraph is between the H and the I.

As an organ donor, Jeremy is a HERO of donation!
