LEXINGTON, Ky.—As Seth Collins finished his penne pasta at a Lexington restaurant, he called over the waitress to fulfill his brother's dying wish.
He explained to her that his 30-year-old brother Aaron recently passed away, but that he'd left instructions in his will to leave a $500 tip for a server.
Then Seth Collins handed the waitress a stack of $20 bills.
The waitress, Chelsea Powell, took the money reluctantly and then smiled and said: "Are you kidding me?" She laughed nervously and had to cover her mouth from the excitement before giving Collins a hug.
The big tip at Bella Notte restaurant was the second $500 gratuity Seth Collins has left since Aaron Collins died on July 7. And the tips will keep coming, thanks to more than $47,000 in donations from people inspired by Aaron Collins' dying act of charity.
