Carson Robert von Aspen, Donante

He continues to give to others through the gift of life...

Carson Robert von Aspen was 17 years old. He loved his family, his friends and playing varsity basketball for his high school. He graduated in May 2018, with hopes of becoming a psychologist to treat military veterans suffering from PTSD and mental illness. His dreams fell short when he ended his life in June 2018, less than one month shy of his 18th birthday.

Donor Network has always held a special place in the von Aspen home as Carson’s grandmother received a lifesaving heart transplant 15 years ago. We know Carson’s desire to help others would be carried out with his gift of donation. We miss him so very much but know his desire to help others will be carried on by the gift of life he continues to give others with the gift of donation.
