Riley Baker, 26, died on Monday from injuries he suffered in a motorcycle crash south of Hampden on Saturday afternoon.
"His wish was to be buried in space, or to donate all his organs" - Riley Baker's partner Amy McCarthy
A man charged over the incident appeared in a Dunedin court today.
Amy McCarthy, Mr Baker's partner, told Checkpoint with John Campbell at least seven people would benefit from Mr Baker's organs.
She said it was something the couple had discussed.
"The fact that he had a match for every single one of his organs just makes me feel a whole lot better, because that's what he would have wanted."
She said Mr Baker, a freelance photographer, was "just so remarkably calm in all situations".
