Dedric Holt
Organ Donor
/January 7, 2020
Dedric “DT” Holt was 7 years old when he was hurt in a garage gate accident, which ultimately claimed his life. After several weeks in the hospital, we decided to donate Dedric’s organs to save someone else’s life. Dedric was such a great, happy, goofy kid who always kept us on our toes! Dedric loved outdoors, spending time with his family, and just overall being an adventurous kid! He also LOVED motorcycles! Thank you, TDS, for educating us on donating life during such a hard time. Our experience was awesome from beginning until end, everyone was so supportive and kind to our family. We are so happy Dedric’s organs saved someone’s life!
