A man who did the right thing after finding $3,700 in an envelope is surprised for Feel Good Friday

EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.

We recently received an email about a man named Zack. It said:

Zack, myself and two friends were traveling home after a day of hiking in the Tetons. We pulled over to switch drivers and Zack found $3,700 in 100 dollar bills in an envelope on the ground. Without hesitation, he began efforts to find the owner that had lost this money. Thankfully there was a deposit slip in the envelope and he was more than excited to call the owner and tell them he had found their money. It was an elderly couple that had sold their pickup to a grandson. They were in tears when we arrived. Zack continues to be a mentor and role model in the recovery community – always willing to help anyone and always doing the next right thing. A few years ago he was not the person that would have returned that money. We still to this day tell that story of doing the right thing.

We tracked down Zack working at a construction site and thanked him for his honesty. Check out the video in the player above!
