DENVER (WSVN) — A Denver firefighter who lost his battle with cancer received a tearful and heartfelt goodbye as he was being escorted to donate his organs.
Family, friends, hospital staff and fellow firefighters gathered Saturday to watch as 31-year-old Cody Mooney was escorted down the hall of Littleton Adventist Hospital to have his organs donated after he lost his “courageous fight against an aggressive tumor.”
