Omar Jr., our lives are completely different without you. Omar you would light up a room when you entered with your smile, jokes, and dancing. People were just drawn to you, even after your passing at 22 years old, you still have the spirit to have more people drawn to you. We will forever say your name Omar aka OD. This guy right here leaves footprints. This guy here saved four people lives through organ donation: his heart, kidneys, and liver. This guy here will be missed, remembered, and always and forever loved. This guy is Omar R Colbert Jr. I pray one day we will hear your heartbeat again. We love you always. #EverythingOD #Forever5

"Our family would like Kevin to be remembered for the loving, caring, giving, and funny person he was. To honor Kevin our family helps raise awareness of the gift others can give through organ, eye, and tissue donation. Kevin’s quote he always said was “Peace, Love, Woodstock!” That pretty much sums up who he was."
