Ben Breedlove did. This is his story:

Have you cried yet today? No? Here, we can fix that.

Ben Breedlove, an 18-year-old high school senior in Austin, Texas, died on Christmas Day of a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, something he'd had all of his life. But he left behind two wordless videos on his YouTube channel, in which he used a series of note cards with handwritten messages to tell his life story, including the three times he "cheated death."
"I just think Ben opened doors for a lot of people to think about something that maybe they've never thought about before," Deanne Breedlove told KXAN. "And that to me is a wonderful gift."

He's an amazing kid and I didn't know him but his life story made me thankful for what I have and a desire to be the best me I can be. I just wanted to honor a wonderful kid and family. He's such a gift in death and life.Here is the link with the video story and His departing video.

Thank you for taking the time to honor someone who is capable of inspiring others to live life to the fullest.
