ANTHONY’S STORY

From Anthony's mom:

Anthony Hidalgo was a wonderful son. At 20 years old, he was a selfless person, always putting others' needs before his. He was a very friendly soul and always happy, with a big smile on his face, and he would always be joking around. Anthony absolutely loved skateboarding; he had a passion for his community. He would always be playing videogames with his friends; he had a talent for gaming ever since he was a little boy. He brought a spark of life wherever he went and to whomever he interacted with. Unfortunately, on April 02, 2020, he passed away due to cardiac arrest. It was abrupt and no one saw it coming, it was a nightmare to deal with. He left behind a beautiful daughter whom he was never able to meet, because she was born months after his death. It brings me joy to know that he lives on through the recipients of his cornea and tissue donations. Anthony was able to help people, even at the end of his life. He always wanted the best for others, and we are so honored to have him represented on the OneLegacy Donate Life float.



We honor his memory by participating in the OneLegacy Run/Walk and I am now a OneLegacy Ambassador, volunteering my time to inspire local communities to Donate Life.
