Drew Kohn was just days from his 23rd birthday in 2017 when he got into a motorcycle crash that sent him into a deep coma with a traumatic brain injury.

Miraculously, he woke up after eight months in a coma.

“They would have harvested his organs,” his mother, Yolanda Osborne-Kohn, told WTLV-TV News.

“It was because of my faith that gave me the boldness to speak up and push back and let them know, ‘You’re not getting a toenail or an eyelash.’”

She said her son was even brain-dead at one point, but she wouldn’t give up hope.

Drew was sent home, still in a coma — until his mom’s faith was miraculously rewarded.

He woke up one day and allegedly told his stunned mother, “Yeah, Mom, I’m OK. I love you, Mom.”

After years of gruelling rehab, Drew was dubbed a modern-day miracle when he began walking again.

Sadly, he was k!lled on Friday, July 26, 2024, when a pickup truck hit him while he was walking on Collins Road in Jacksonville around 5:30 a.m., the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

The driver, who told cops he hadn’t seen Drew, pulled over and called 911, but it was too late. He was pronounced de@d at the scene, WLTV-TV said.

Despite her heartache, Osborne-Kohn said she is grateful she had seven borrowed years with her son.
