Chris McDougald, Lebanon, Mo., (facing camera) embraces Brett Palmer of Owensville as their respective wives, Danielle Palmer (left) and Stephanie McDougald reach out to greet each other with a hug. The McDougald’s son, Ki, 3, died Oct. 29, 2019, from injuries in a “freak” all-terrain vehicle crash three days earlier. The Palmer’s son, Truett, born with a genetic heart condition, received Ki’s heart the following day. Truett would live another year before what was described by his mother as a common “bug” caused his death on Nov. 3, 2020. The Palmers had been at their’s son’s one-year transplant checkup when he fell ill. Truett’s transplanted heart from the McDougald’s son was healthy. A “common ailment” causing a lung infection was cited as his cause of death at the age of 3 years and 8 months. As friends and family of the Truetts waited to begin the 5K fund-raiser, the families of two boys — forever linked together through organ donation — embraced. Then walked together.
