Jesse Thompson - the Grand Island man who taught us the importance of bone marrow donation - has died.
Jesse was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia earlier this year.
In May, dozens came out to see if their marrow was a match for Jesse.
He died last month at the University of Minnesota Medical Center due to post-transplant complications, according to his obituary.
Jesse was 22-year-old.
