After Bray's passing, former IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander took to twitter to recount his own story of how Bray Wyatt lit up his day like one of the latter's fireflies.

As reported by Wrestling Headlines, back in 2012, Josh Alexander was scheduled to appear as an extra in an unnamed WWE event. A seven-year veteran by this point, this was Alexander's first gig for a major televised wrestling company. As such, he was understandably nervous, even if he was just meant to be a face in the background.

As Alexander recounts, it was at this point Bray spotted the nervous grappler and took it upon himself to offer some words of encouragement, welcoming him to WWE and telling him to keep his nose to the grindstone. Alexander recalls Wyatt spent the entire day encouraging everyone around him with big smiles and bigger laughs, improving the atmosphere through sheer force of positivity.

Unlike the previous stories, Alexander's meeting with Bray took place before the Wyatt become one of the world's most famous wrestlers. But, as should hopefully be clear by now, no matter what level of fame Bray achieved he never stopped taking it upon himself to help those in need.
