Kenneth Mack

Donor Hero

“Kenneth could be described as inspirational, passionate and considerate. Someone who just met him would say he was kind, caring and giving. He was the type of person who wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, and I hope that the community will remember him as a young man who loved his community and was willing to help in any way,” shared Carrie, donor mom to donor hero Kenneth.  

“Kenneth wanted to live and let live; however, on February 14, 2010, he was tragically murdered. February 14 is Valentine’s Day, Kenneth’s birthday, and the day he died. The death of my son has had a devastating impact on my life.  

Kenneth was a young man of integrity, a minister of the Gospel at New Covenant Reviving Souls Ministry Church, and a barbering instructor. My son was also a business owner and operator of Results of a Blessing Barber Shop in Columbia, South Carolina and Gastonia, North Carolina. He was a poet and a motivational speaker.  

There are four people living today because my son’s organs were given to save them.  

One of these people is Kenneth’s brother, my oldest son, Anthony. Anthony was on dialysis for five years before he received his brother’s kidney. Even in death, Kenneth continued to help others.  

I am grateful for We Are Sharing Hope SC and their network of support and grief resources. The organization has been extremely supportive and has provided me with the opportunity to share my story and tell others that there is life after death. I hope others know the importance and the impact of being an organ donor. Thank you for the opportunity to honor my son’s legacy.”
