OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — A 14-year-old boy who was killed by a white supremacist at a Jewish site in suburban Kansas City will be honored in this year’s Tournament of Roses Parade.

Reat Underwood was shot to death along with his grandfather, William Lewis Corporan, in April 2014 outside the Jewish Community Center in Overland Park by a man who wanted to kill Jews. Another woman was killed at nearby retirement home.

The Kansas City Star reports that Reat’s family unveiled a floragraph of the teen Thursday that will be on the parade’s Donate Life float Jan. 2 in Pasadena, California.

The portrait, made of organic materials, will be one of 60 portraits of organ donors on the float.

Heather Denise Reed-Flynn of Kansas City also also will be honored on the float.
