The City of Laguna Beach honored former Laguna Beach resident and Plano, Texas firefighter, Brody Fleming, at a community event on Thursday, Dec. 12. Fleming passed away in 2012 at the age of 24 from a massive stroke, and his donated organs, tissue and corneas benefited over 100 organ donation recipients. Fleming is being honored by Donate Life America with a 2020 Rose Bowl Floragraph in his likeness. The Floragraph will be displayed on the Donate Life Float in the 2020 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena on New Year’s Day.

Interesting article on the Plano TX firefighter. I am a third generation Laguna and when married I lived in Plano TX for 15 years starting before the developing of the town in 1974. What a nice way for him to be honored.
