SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- A
community is mourning the loss of a teenage boy who died in a car crash earlier
this week.
Alex Maier was only seventeen when he died Wednesday.
Family, friends and faculty of
San Luis Obispo High School remembered him at a memorial on Holt Field.
Maier registered as an organ donor at a very young age. He donated his
organs, helping to save the lives of six others.
His soccer teammates wore
T-shirts bearing his number, 23.
"He lived a mile from me," says
teammate Nathan McWhorter. "That's going to be the hardest thing to miss from him.
Just him always being there, no matter what."
The school set up a scholarship
fund in his memory.
