JJ Watt donated $10,000 Friday to the U’Ren family, who lost their father in a car wreck last weekend.

WMTV-Madison reported Kirk U’Ren, 37, had died in a crash on Highway 30 on Sunday, and his wife, Jenni Steiner, is in critical condition.

“This is terrible news to hear. Kirk was a big help to our foundation in the early years and was always so energetic and upbeat. My thoughts are with Jenni and the whole family and if there is any way that I can help, please let me know," Watt told WMTV.

Watt made the donation on the YouCaring page set up by Baker Tilly and Pepsi-Cola of Madison, where the husband and wife worked.

Between the YouCaring page and a GoFundMe account, $100,000 has been raised for the U’Ren family.
