An 82-year-old Navy veteran working at a Maryland Walmart has retired thanks to an interaction with a customer that went viral on social media.<\/p>\n

Butch Marion officially retired from his job on Wednesday weeks after a Walmart customer walked into the store and filmed the 82-year-old veteran ringing up items in the checkout line and posted the video on TikTok which raised over $100,000 for Marion, WTTG-TV reported<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

That customer, bug extermination business owner Rory McCarty, had seen a previous TikTok video where a woman went into a Walmart and filmed an elderly employee bagging groceries and raised money for that employee by posting the video online.<\/p>\n

McCarty, wanting to do a similar good deed on TikTok, filmed a video of himself explaining the TikTok trend he had seen to Marion and then posted that video<\/u><\/a> on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The video was seen over 2 million times on social media<\/a> and a GoFundMe was formed to raise money for Marion which raised $108,000 all of which was presented to Marion in the form of a large check on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I feel like a new man,” Marion told WTTG-TV. “This is just unreal.”<\/p>\n

Marion, a father and grandfather, had a job at General Motors<\/a> but retired so he could help take care of his ex-wife\u2019s husband. When the husband passed away, Marion took care of his ex-wife and then returned to work when she passed away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marion said he will pay off bills, relax at home, and use the money to travel to Florida<\/a> for a 3-week trip to see his daughters and grandchildren that he hasn\u2019t hugged in years.<\/p>\n

“Bird out of a cage,” Marion said.<\/p>\n

McCarty acknowledged that he “just never dreamed this would happen.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just so excited for him,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
