Recently Shaquille O’Neal did a very generous thing by paying the funeral expenses of the 11-year old boy who died in a car accident. A few weeks ago 12-year-old Trayvon Alexander and 11-year-old Keshon Batiste died while riding in the backseat of the car. The adult they were with ran a stop sign and crashed into a ditch, then slammed into a tree. The family of Tayvon had life insurance but Keson’s family needed additional support for his family. Shaq heard the news and volunteered to help the family out.
