David D Pate Shaky, Donor

David was a proud father, husband, son, brother and Union Iron Worker. He lived life fully. He was kind and generous. His final act of generosity saved three people.
He was taken from us way too soon. He will truly be missed by many.
I am blessed he picked me to be his wife.

Three months ago we lost a huge piece of our hearts. I try to remember that three months ago my husband saved three people and save three familys from heartbreak. He has alway been my hero and now he is a hero to many more.

My name is Jesse and I have reason to believe David is my brother which makes this all the more heartbreaking. I’m hoping someone can respond as I have so many questions.

David, I did not know you, but I saw a small memorial for you along the Harrison Greenway yeterday. What an honorable thing to do as an organ donor. Your spirit lives on in others.
