Jessica Peine passed away tragically in 1998, due to being struck by a vehicle on her way home from school. Her parents made the difficult decision to allow their young daughter to become an organ donor. Because of their strength and important decision, Jessica was able to donate her eyes, heart valves and skin tissue to others in need. Her parents, along with the Pearl City Life Riders RC continue to keep her memory alive while helping raise awareness and funding for both the Iowa Donor Network and Jessica Faye’s Closet.
