LINCOLN, Neb. — As the racing community continues to grieve for short track star Bryan Clauson and his family, they also celebrate his gift to others after his death. Clauson saved five lives through organ donation.
The family released the following statement:
“One of the gifts that Bryan gave us while we sat next to him praying for some good news, was the moment we found out he was an organ donor. It shouldn’t have surprised us. All of us have felt Bryan’s generosity throughout his life. The gift of life is the most amazing gesture and Bryan will live on, not only through us and all the people he touched along the way, but from the lucky individuals that will benefit from Bryan making a decision to be a donor.
It was not lost on our family as we sat huddled around him, holding his hands, comforting him and each other, saying our last goodbye that five families were also sitting in a hospital room somewhere, comforting their loved one and each other while praying for a miracle that Bryan ultimately delivered for them.”
Clauson died after a vicious crash on Saturday night during the Belleville Nationals in Kansas.
