DELTA, Ohio — Steven Stark, his mom and two sisters walk by the cemetery while taking family walks together. But about a year ago, they discovered something troubling.
Stark said he found a grave without a headstone. He didn't know who was buried there. But it didn't matter.
"I took a picture and posted it on Facebook. I got in touch with the family and reached out, and asked them about why they didn't have a gravestone," he said.
Stark learned the heartbreaking story of the Wyse family. The person buried in the unmarked grave was Devon Wyse. Through his five siblings, Stark learned their father had passed away and so did their mother from terminal cancer.
When Wyse died a year ago, the siblings couldn't afford to pay for a gravestone.
"He deserved a gravestone and I wanted to make that happen. It took a lot of work. I talked to multiple places and I finally got connected with one and we finally made it happen," he said.
Stark hopes his act of kindness will inspire others to be kind.
"Something like this means the world to people. We want others to catch on and get people to do it."
