Houston Texans superstar J.J. Watt donated $10,000 to help the family of Cory Barr, a Wisconsin fire captain from the Sun Prairie Fire Department who was killed Tuesday after a natural gas leak led to an explosion.
The Associated Press reported GoFundMe spokesperson Kate Cichy confirmed Watt's donation.
A GoFundMe page that was started to support Barr's family noted he was a 15-year veteran of the department and a well-known member of the community as the owner of the Barr House Tavern, which was one of the local businesses destroyed in the fire.
