A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR WILLIAM DANIEL HANCOCK's remarkable selflessness in donating a kidney to save the life of DOUGLAS LYNN GANT, AND TO COMMEMORATE THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD IN BRINGING TO FRUITION A PLAN OF HEALING AND HOPE.

 

Whereas, in 1992, Douglas Gant was diagnosed with a serious kidney disease that would ultimately require a transplant for him to live. Later that same year, William Hancock was born, beginning a life that would one day intersect with Mr. Gant's in a profound and life changing way; and

 

Whereas, on December 4, 2024, Mr. Hancock selflessly donated one of his kidneys to Mr. Gant, giving the gift of life and hope, and marking a day that will forever be remembered as the culmination of years of prayer, faith, and divine orchestration; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Hancock's act of sacrifice reflects the highest ideals of compassion and service, reminding all citizens of the profound impact that one individual's generosity can have on another's life. His example of charity and civic duty stands as a model for the people of South Carolina, demonstrating how personal sacrifice can strengthen communities, inspire hope, and embody the values of faith and fellowship; and

 

Whereas, their story serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of compassion, and the enduring belief that God's timing is perfect; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate finds it fitting to recognize this remarkable journey as an inspiration to all citizens of the Palmetto State.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor William Daniel Hancock's remarkable selflessness in donating a kidney to save the life of Douglas Lynn Gant, and to commemorate the faithfulness of God in bringing to fruition a plan of healing and hope.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to William Daniel Hancock.
