The day Officer Jason Moszer died is the day Dave Knudson got new life. The donation of Jason s heart. Written By: Kevin Wallevand | 6:57 pm, Feb. 11, 2021
FARGO One man sitting at Jason Moszer s memorial service Thursday, Feb. 11, has a special connection to the late Fargo police officer.
Hours after Moszer died, his donated organs went on to save the lives of many, including Dave Knudson, who received his heart. Knudson now speaks to groups about the importance of organ transplants.
Knudson wore a blue Moszer hockey jersey and stood as officers from the Fargo Police Department carried flags forward during the memorial service. His connection to officer Moszer and his family is one nobody predicted, or wanted.
On Feb. 11, 2016, Moszer died from a single gunshot wound sustained in an hours-long standoff with a man who later killed himself.
Jason Moszer, 33, a six year Fargo Police Department veteran, died in the line of duty on Feb. 11, 2016.
The event would shatter families, bring an outpouring of support, prompt changes in protective gear for officers and leave an indelible scar on the community.
Moszer, 33, who had six years on the force, was so much more than a police officer, Erdmann said.
He was a veteran who served as a medic with the Minnesota National Guard in Bosnia and Iraq.
He was a husband and father who liked to camp, cook and entertain.
