Justin Wilson’s death shook IndyCar and the world over the weekend when the driver was struck in the head by a piece of metal that broke off another car and crashed into a wall. It’s difficult to make sense of the tragedy but Stefan Wilson, Justin’s younger brother explained how many people were helped by his brother being an organ donor.

— Stefan Wilson (@stef_wilson) August 25, 2015 It’s the silver lining of a very dark cloud, but this amazing result should be no surprise for fans of Wilson. His entire life was dedicated to helping others and his impact not only on IndyCar, but the world will echo far beyond his 37 years on earth. Wilson suffered from dyslexia and was an advocate to children that their dreams were attainable, even with the learning disability. WISH news ran the following story:
Thank you Justin Wilson. You will be missed.
