In his death, Teddy Deterding gave the gift of life. Now a floral image of the boy has been created that will memorialize organ, eye and tissue donors nationwide on the 2014 Donate Life rose Parade float in Pasadena.
Teddy died in 2000 at 11 years old but he was not too young to save two lives as an organ donor and give sight to another person by donating his corneas. Now his parents hope to inspire others to sign up as organ donors.
Teddy Deterding could be recognized by his bright blue eyes and big smile.
"We were praying for a miracle and what we realized was he was the miracle but it was a miracle for somebody else," said Robyn Deterding, Teddy's mom.
