Tragedy turned into life saving transplant

ABC Eyewitness News 7, New York | Tim Fleischer

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Dan Glover is one of those special people who is giving the precious gift of life.

"It just amazed me that he wanted to do such a gift like that," said Karyn Glover, Dan's mother.

As his family now deeply mourns the passing of this young 24-year old they also celebrate his choice to donate all of his organs prior to his death from a car crash.

"He's been giving blood since he was 17, so I knew he was interested in that, but I didn't know he was interested in giving all his organs," Karyn Glover said.

"Him donating his organs is a perfect reflection of who he was as a person," said Kristian Glover, Dan's sister.

A standout athlete in multiple sports, excelling in wrestling at Bergenfield High School, Dan came back to help coach current teams. He was always giving back.
