During a farewell ceremony held in memory of Darrell Thomas, who passed away at the age of 58 and was known for his generosity by the local community, money was distributed from a helicopter. Those moments were captured second by second on a cellphone camera, showing citizens competing with each other to grab the money falling on them.
It was as if money rained down from the sky in Detroit, Michigan. This extraordinary farewell ceremony, held on the east side of the city, was organized in memory of Darrell Thomas, who was known for his "generosity" by the local community.
On June 27, at the intersection of Gratiot Avenue and Conner Avenue, the hundreds of dollars scattered from the sky surprised and moved the neighborhood. The event was a tribute to Darrell Thomas, who passed away at the age of 58 on June 15.
HE HAD STRONG BONDS WITH HIS NEIGHBORS
Thomas, one of the iconic figures of the neighborhood, was known for his devotion to his family, the strong bonds he formed with his neighbors, and his passion for classic cars. His sons, wanting to keep his memory alive, were the pioneers of this farewell ceremony.
THEY DISTRIBUTED MONEY FROM A HELICOPTER
To honor their father's memory and show his love for the community one last time, they distributed money from a helicopter near the car wash business he owned.
"HE WAS A LEGEND IN THE COMMUNITY"
“Detroit, some of you may not know my father, but he was a wonderful dad,” said Smoke, continuing, “He was a legend in the community. He would help everyone, and this was the last good deed he did for everyone. That's all.”
