The resolution introduced on February 12, 2026, designates February 14, 2026, as National Organ Donor Day in West Virginia. It honors the memory of Timmy Bub Fields, a 15-year-old from Nitro who, after his tragic passing in November 2024, became an organ donor, saving five lives and donating corneas and tissue. His selfless act serves as a poignant reminder of the significant impact organ donation can have on individuals and families, inspiring others to consider becoming donors.

The resolution highlights the achievements of the Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE), which serves most of West Virginia and celebrated a record-breaking year in organ and tissue donations in 2025. It notes the urgent need for organ donors, with over 100,000 individuals in the U.S. awaiting transplants, including 500 in West Virginia. The resolution encourages residents to register as organ donors through various means, emphasizing that one donor can save up to eight lives and heal many more. The Senate also directs that a copy of the resolution be sent to Timmy Fields' family.
