January 27, 2016: Santa Cruz Mother United with Man with Her Son’s Donated Heart

(08:01) SANTA CRUZ – A Santa Cruz mother has been united with a man who was saved by a donated organ from her deceased son. Linda Meyer’s 19-year-old son Taylor died from a gunshot wound in December 2014. A Bay Area medical center harvested Taylor Meyer’s organs, including his lungs, kidneys and heart. The heart was then donated to Santa Rosa resident 67-year-old Jim Keegan, who was suffering from congestive heart failure. Linda Meyer heard the news and went out to meet Keegan and listen to her son’s donated heart. Meyer hopes the donation of her son’s organs will encourage others to register as donors. (S.G.)
