One of those honored in the 2014 float from the non-profit Donate Life is a young man from Alsea. This is the story of how he changed many lives.
THE DRIVER
On the night of Feb. 12, 2012, Tyson Schreiber was driving alone along Highway 34 between Philomath and Alsea, Ore. It was a dark and foggy night.
His car drifted off the highway and hit a culvert. The 19-year-old wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the truck. He suffered severe head trauma and within 12 hours was declared brain dead.
Schreiber was a star athlete at Alsea High School, an avid hunter and a fisherman. He was described as an all-around good kid.
The day he got his driver's license, he signed up to be an organ donor. Tyson Schreiber saved his most heroic actions for the last hours of his life.
