A Vicksburg showed his generosity on Thursday when he paid for the meals of the entire Jefferson County High School basketball basketball team.

While at the Waffle House, Shawn Kurtz was enjoying a meal when he spotted the team and held a conversation with the young men. A short time later he graciously attempted to pay for the team’s meal and leave, but when they noticed what he did, they stopped to thank him and were able to grab a photo with him.

Multiple people went to social media after seeing the original post on Facebook where many kind words were said about Mr. Kurtz.

Although his giving may be small in some people’s eyes, but Kurtz made the entire team’s day by showing them that there’s always someone who cares.
