WASHINGTON (TND) — NFL star Justin James "JJ" Watt will be covering the funeral costs for every person who lost their life after an SUV drove through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, according to one report.

"J.J. Watt is covering the funeral costs for everyone that lost their life in the Waukesha Christmas Parade. That is an amazing gesture. He has such a huge heart," tweeted Cory Jennerjohn, a brand journalist from Waunakee, Wisconsin.

At least six people were killed and nearly 50 were injured by the SUV that drive through the parade. An 8-year-old boy was the latest victim, having sustained injuries in the crash and then succumbing to them in the hospital later.

3. That's a wonderful kindness.

I'm sickened by what happened there. Just living your life, enjoying a small pleasure (a parade), and this happens. So many lives changed in an instant. So many lives ended.
