32-year-old Nick Longshore, a former BYU football player, died following an ATV accident in Idaho Falls in November, 2013. At the time of his death, Nick and his wife were expecting their second child; the first had been stillborn. “Nick was a humble, gentle giant who everybody loved,” said longtime family friend, Greg Crow. “He was an Eagle Scout and the boy next door. You’d never hear anyone say anything negative about him.” Nick was a registered organ donor whose generosity touched several lives, including 67-year-old former U of U basketball player Ken Gardner. “I feel better than I’ve felt in 30 years,” Gardner claims. “I was dying a year ago. Now I’m lucky to have this healthy, strong BYU football player’s heart. Everything else will wear out, but not this heart.”
