Fit For An Autopsy guitarist's good gesture goes viral

This week Fit For An Autopsy guitarist Patrick Sheridan stopped to help a woman who had run out of gas on the side of the highway. Seemingly a bit surprised to get assistance from "this white man...tattoos all over," the young black woman shared Sheridan's good gesture on Twitter. Amid the racially divisive climate we find ourselves in, her tweet quickly went viral and currently sits at 30k retweets and 233k likes. You can view her tweet (in addition to four follow-ups below). Good job, Pat!

I got stuck on the highway(wasn't paying attention and ran out of gas).. This white man..tattoos all over, pulled up behind me, asked what's wrong, then came back 10 mins later with gas and said "I didn't want the cops pulling up to "help u" and fucking with you." pic.twitter.com/elD2Irvsjv

I didn't realize I had run out gas. I was on my way to get an oil change. Then the car just started pulling(my car is relatively new so I was shocked)..my insurance company said it would take 90 mins for roadside assistance to arrive. And I looked up and saw his BMW.

I'm honestly so shook. I mean this man SPED down the highway to the exit to go get me some gas. Then asked me if I needed money for gas(I didn't)...??

He saw how genuinely shocked I was at how willing he was to help me and said "it sucks that it shocks u that a guy who looks like me is willing to help you, but one step at a time, we will change the world"...I teared up a bit
