Dak Prescott gave the son of a slain Mississippi deputy a surprise meeting Saturday.

Prescott met with 10-year-old Nash Durr, whose father, Deputy William Durr, was killed while responding to a domestic violence call on May 27 in Brookhaven, Mississippi.

According to The Clarion-Ledger, Nash’s mother, Tressie, and other members of the Durr family told Nash they were going to visit a botanical garden when instead they surprised him by going to meet with Prescott instead.

Nash, who is a Mississippi State fan, and his family took photos with Prescott at their meeting.

Shortly after Durr’s death, the Durr family released a statement with a photo of him, Tressie and Nash in Mississippi State attire.
