He was a well-loved member of the Maryport Coastguard and a businessman. Tom, a fellow coastguard team member, said: "Will was a kind-hearted man who put others before himself. "The specialist nurses in organ donation attended the next day and I gave consent." Sharon described Will as a strong supporter of organ donation, carrying his organ donation card in his wallet and registered on the donor website twice. She said: "Organ donation really is the gift of life and it is so important to share your wishes with your family as if you are ever in the situation where your loved one would be suitable for organ donation, you know exactly what they would want to do."
