A young San Diego man, Matthew Jackson was killed in a car crash on Nov. 11th, less than 24-hours after he met Jamie-Lynn Knighten and leaves behind an amazing legacy of kindness!
According to KNSD-TV in San Diego, Knighten was ahead of Jackson in line to pay for her groceries with her crying infant when her card declined. That's when 28-year old Jackson stepped up and offered to foot the bill which up to over $200. 00 but wanted only one thing in return, and that is to "Pay It Forward"
"As long as you promise to do it for somebody else" he said (according to Knighted)
Knighten, later called Jackson's employer, a local gym, to praise him only to find out he had died when a car he was in struck a tree.
As a person of faith, Knighten said she believes, Jackson didn't die in vain. She said she's working to further honor the man's legacy and is encouraging others to PAY IT FORWARD!
