Amazon driver melts hearts after shoveling snow for Ohio man with disability

MENTOR, Ohio (WEWS/CNN/CNN Newsource/WKRC) - An Amazon driver shoveled the walkway of an Ohio man with a disability.

It's often the simple acts of kindness that mean the most to people. That was the case for an Ohio man who was astonished when he saw his Amazon driver shoveling snow without any expectations.

The man and the driver later had a reunion filled with gratitude.

"I wasn't looking for no recognition or anything because I just know that," Amazon driver Gequan Fletcher told WEWS.

"Well you're over due for it," homeowner Don Wheeler interjected. "I was wondering if I was ever going to meet you again or able rush to the door to see you."

Wheeler and Fletcher first crossed paths last week when the Amazon driver was delivering a package to the residence.

"I'm coming up and I see that his rampway is snowed-in. I'm like, I'll take the stairs. I delivered a package, take a picture of it, make sure it's there. And I look over I'm like well there's a shovel here. So I said I might as well just shovel it for him really quick," Fletcher told the outlet.

Due to being wheelchair-bound, Wheeler became shut off to the world when his ramp became covered in snow.

According to WEWS, it would take him hours, sometimes days to clear the ramp himself.

"He opened the door and said God bless you, sir," Fletcher recalled to the station's reporters.

"What touched me the most is when I came out and thanked you, you just smiled and kept going, you weren't like tag me on this or tag me on that," Wheeler told the station. "That meant an awful lot. That told me that it came from the heart."

WEWS later learned that Fletcher had shoveled multiple homes in the neighborhood.

"It's to be as heartwarming towards another human being. A gesture, a simple gesture you know, smile, a high five. To me, it was just shoveling snow," Fletcher told the station's reporters. "I didn't really think that this would get this popular. I'm just looking out for another human being."

For Wheeler, it was the bit of humanity he needed.

"The world needs a little more of you in it. It touched my heart. My heart cried in joy," Wheeler told the station.
