At just 22 years old, Ian Heidemann knew what he wanted - to give life to others in the event of tragedy.
And sadly, after five days on life support, that unexpected happened.
"It's so hard to describe, it's unbelievably strong, for us, that he made that decision on his own," said his father, Rob.
"It's comforting to know that there is still part of him out there helping people," his mother finished.
Through Life Gift, Ian donated many organs from his heart to kidneys, but the most rare was his right hand.
