CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) A Secret Santa that paid off over $75,000 in layaways at the Walmart on Fort Campbell Blvd. has been identified.

Rex and Kendra Hawkins of Hawkins Homes confirmed they were the Secret Santa.

Rex Hawkins said he and his wife saw that others had made similar donations recently and they felt compelled to do the same.

“We chose the Fort Campbell Walmart due to the particular location having high military presence in hopes of helping our service members and their family members during the holidays,” he said.

They stopped by the store at 1680 Fort Campbell Blvd. Sunday afternoon and paid off over 300 accounts, according to an associate reached by ClarksvilleNow.

“Any account that was active as of 1:00 p.m. Saturday has now been paid down to one penny,” the associate said.

The local news comes just days after similar holiday gestures by singer Kid Rock and actor/producer Tyler Perry.

“We felt like the Lord laid it on us to do the same thing.
