Thomas Bycsek with a wolf from Howling Woods Farm in Jackson.

Like she does every day, Katie Bycsek will miss her son Thomas this Thanksgiving. A lifelong Belmar resident, Thomas Bycsek died suddenly in 2019 at the age of 26. The decision Katie made in the aftermath continues to bring their family solace.

She donated Thomas’ organs, which helped save the lives of four critically ill people.

“Knowing that there is somebody at another Thanksgiving table who’s living because of him, that comforts me,” Katie said. “It comforts all of us.”

Thomas’ heart went to a recipient in New York, his liver to someone in Connecticut, and his kidneys to two fellow New Jerseyans. That’s really all his mother knows. She yearns to know more.

“I’ve read about people listening to their loved one’s heart beating in someone else,” she said. “I would love to connect with any one of them, but in particular if I could connect with the heart recipient — just thinking about it brings me to tears.”
