Even after his death, Aaron Collins gives on.

The technician at Computers Plus Repair died July 7. He was 30.

His family wanted to honor his last request, which was to go to a restaurant for pizza and give the server a $500 tip. They raised the money and then went to Puccini's Smiling Teeth in Lexington's Chevy Chase Place on July 10 and surprised server Sarah Ward with $500.

She shared her reward, giving $50 to each of the people who worked with her that day. She had $250 left over.

Michael Johnson, owner of Computers Plus Repair on Pimlico Parkway, ... said Aaron Collins was such a diligent worker "he would stay after hours to mop the floor."

"He had a respect for the working person," Johnson said. "He always wanted to help people."

With donations rolling in, there will be plenty of opportunities for surprises. Servers are "a group of people who he felt were underappreciated," Seth Collins said.
