Today, we remember and honor Bryce Dunlap—a young man whose life was tragically cut short at just 21 years old. Bryce’s passing from an anoxic brain injury has left a deep void in the hearts of all who knew him, and especially within his family. Yet, in the midst of their profound grief, Bryce’s family made a remarkable choice—one of extraordinary compassion and selflessness. They honored Bryce’s final wish to donate his organs, transforming their heartbreak into hope for others.
Bryce’s decision to be an organ donor has touched lives in ways words cannot fully express. Among those who benefited from his generosity is Bernie Kosar, a beloved former NFL quarterback, who had been desperately waiting for a liver transplant. Thanks to Bryce’s selfless act, Bernie received a second chance at life—an enduring gift that exemplifies the power of kindness and the profound impact one person can have on others.
This act of generosity is a testament to Bryce’s character—a young man whose compassion and spirit continue to inspire. His legacy lives on not only through the lives he has touched but also as a reminder to us all about the importance of giving, even in the face of unimaginable loss. Bryce’s story is a beacon of hope, showing that even in tragedy, there is the potential for renewal and life.
To Bryce Dunlap and his family, we extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt gratitude. Your bravery and generosity are an inspiration. Cleveland, let us come together to honor Bryce’s memory and continue to support the gift of life. Thank you, Bryce. Thank you, Dunlap family. Your kindness will forever resonate in the lives you’ve touched.
