Captain Cory Barr, 34, died on Tuesday responding to a gas leak which led to a tragic explosion in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Cory left behind his wife, Abby, and two little girls.

Watt was born and raised in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, about an hour from Sun Prairie. Watt's father was also a firefighter for 28 years.

Watt didn't announce his donation on social media, or call any attention to it.

There was just a donation, alongside the $5 and $20 donations from all over, for $10,000 from Justin Watt, J.J.'s full name.
