"Jerry Kenneth Walther was born on January 30, 2007. A natural athlete who was always on the go! He loved football, lacrosse, basketball, and working out. Jerry was that person you meet and you never forget. To know him was to love him. He always had a smile on his face! Jerry was a middle child of two siblings.

At 15, being the teenager he was, he snuck out to help a friend and was tragically hit by a car, he was flown to Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center where after 16 days he succumbed to his injuries.

In life, Jerry would give you the shirt off of his back so there was no question that he would help in his passing. He helped save the lives of two people. He will always be a hero and the legacy he left on this earth will be spoken about for a long time."

—JamieLynn, mother of donor Jerry

Our headquarters was filled with curiosity, creativity, and a whole lot of hero energy for Bring a Child to Work Day! 💙💚

From hands-on activities and fun experiments to learning about the lifesaving impact of organ and tissue donation, it was a day packed with discovery and inspiration. And of course, seeing our young heroes proudly wearing their capes made it even more special.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it a day full of learning, excitement, and fun!

"My daughter Tess was involved in a hit-and-run accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury. We were told she would not recover. A few years ago, while renewing our driver’s licenses, we both checked the box for organ donation. I guess no one ever thinks they’ll have to face what that truly means—until the day comes when you do.

Organ donation is more than just checking a box on your driver’s license. The meaning and ultimate sacrifice go far beyond that simple checkmark.

At 32, Tess was just starting her married life. She had bought a house, adopted a rescue dog, planned a trip to England, and was about to publish her first children’s book about her dog. To say she is missing out on the best years of her life is an understatement.

Tess’s final gifts helped change four lives. We miss her every second of every day, but we hold onto the positivity of knowing we honored her final wishes.

When you realize your loved one cannot return to you, you’re faced with the heart-wrenching decision to let them go with dignity and to find meaning in their loss. Organ donation offers the chance to give another person a better life—if not life itself. A part of your loved one lives on, and that brings comfort."

—Judi Fox, mother of organ donor, Tess

Deanna Noelle “Dee Dee” D’Arco of Vernon passed away on May 27, 2024, at just 19 years old, following a tragic car accident. A beloved teacher’s assistant at Little Learner Academy in Jefferson Township, Deanna was cherished by her students, remembered for giving the best hugs, and loved by all who knew her. Her vibrant spirit, compassionate nature, love for animals, and dedication to others left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Deanna’s life, cut tragically short, continues to inspire others through the selfless act of organ and tissue donation. Her donated heart, liver, and kidney saved the lives of three people, giving them renewed hope and the chance to create new memories with their loved ones. Additionally, her tissue donations, including skin, bone, tendons, and corneas, will offer healing to those in need.

“Deanna has always been a hero to me, and now she can be a hero forever as an organ and tissue donor who saved lives,” said her father, Steven D’Arco, who served on the Paterson Fire Department for nearly 25 years. “This brings us some solace, knowing something positive can come from such an unimaginable loss.”
