>>WPXI: Man hit, killed by train while trying to push woman out of way
Family members say Onder was getting his life back together. He was homeless for a short time but recently got an apartment and was planning on going to school.
"He pushed her out of the way. I think it was he was taken by surprise, and his last act as that of selflessness and self-sacrifice. You know, right to the front of the line, the gates swing open and he's in heaven," said Michael Onder's, Conlan's dad.
Conlan Onder’s funeral is next Saturday at Striffler Funeral Home in White Oak.
