South Carolina Organ Donors Save Record Number of Lives

Keegan’s gift saved 4 others

Allison Johnson Miller is proud of her son; 17-year-old Keegan Johnson brought a smile to people on and off the field and court. We say he was born with a ball in his hand,” said the mother of three. “He loved sports.”

But three years ago on Feb. 2, everything changed.

“At 6:45 this morning three years ago, Keegan suffered a stroke in front of me at home; we took him to the hospital, where he later underwent two emergency brain surgeries, on this day.”
After just days in the hospital, Johnson Miller’s oldest child after a sinus infection attacked his brain. Although Keegan died on Feb. 5, 2020, one choice he made meant his legacy would live on in dozens of lives across the nation.
