Edgar Baxton II

Edgar Baxton, 65, is a health teacher at the Fort Dodge Middle School in Fort Dodge, Iowa. He also coaches junior varsity volleyball at Fort Dodge Senior High. He was diagnosed with amyloidosis in 2015 and needed a heart and liver transplant to save him.

What transpired through his medical journey was a true out-of-body experience that changed his life physically, mentally and spiritually, according to Baxton.

“It makes you become very aware that there is more to life than what we have right here,” Baxton said. “Everybody wants to live today, but there is a life beyond this life.”
