Georgia football player Devin Willock made young fan's day hours before deadly car crash
CBSN
Just hours before University of Georgia football player Devin Willock died in a car accident that also killed a school staff member early Sunday morning, he greeted a young fan whose grandparent posted about their recent meeting online. Willock, an offensive lineman for the champion Bulldogs, retweeted the now-viral post on Saturday evening with three red-heart emojis. It was the athlete's final tweet prior to his death.
Alongside a message thanking the Georgia player for his time, Sam Kramer, the original poster, shared a series of photos that showed Willock in what appears to be a restaurant, standing beside a small boy who is pictured smiling and wearing a Bulldogs football jersey. In one of the images, the child is seen trying on Willock's championship ring and flashing it toward the camera.
"Special thank u to @DevinWillock for taking time for my grandson when he didn't have to," Kramer wrote in the tweet. "U went out of ur way to make him feel special and U made his day!! Good luck next year! Go Dawgs!"

On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
