They say he was trying to stop the driver after he hit an SUV.
Nevius sustained injuries to his head and leg.
Charles Nevius II was called Chuckie by family friends and customers. He was a father of one young boy. But at age 35 his life is over.
"To hear that he did pass and the family decided to make him an organ donor was touching to me," said Kimberly Vanhavere. "I'm a registered nurse, so that really hit home to me that he'll be saving many lives with this tragedy."
Vanhavere organized a vigil Wednesday night. It was attended by more than fifty of the local residents, including longtime friend Jack Perez.
"Always been a pleasant kid, from the time I met him until he left us. Always a good guy trying to help others. It is tragic what happened to him," Perez said.
Police are now searching for the driver of that Gray Nissan, with tint on front and rear door windows.
