Kamden “Kam” James Gabrick was a beautiful three-year-old boy whose loving heart and infectious smile always found a way to bring people together. Kam was known for his hugs, kisses, and giving “strawberries." Whenever we left our friends or family, Kam made sure that everyone joined in a circle for a group hug. He loved to be outside, whether playing on his swing set, in his sandbox or splashing around in the pool. Kamden’s favorite things included dinosaurs, sea animals, books, going to the beach, fishing, and his “Stitch” (from the movie “Lilo and Stitch”), which he took everywhere.
Kam’s life was tragically cut short following a choking accident in 2018. We chose to donate his organs in hopes that his beautiful light would continue in others. Kamden saved four lives by donating both kidneys, his liver, cornea, and a heart valve. We find comfort in knowing Kamden’s organ donation had an impact, not only on his four organ recipients but also brought organ donation awareness to light. In honor of the gift of life that Kam gave, most of our friends and family are now registered organ donors too.
