Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Donte Moncrief showed us what it really means to have your brother’s back.

Moncrief plans to help support the daughter of Zurlon Tipton, a former teammate of his with the Colts. The running back was killed after accidentally shooting and killing himself back in June.

The WR noted he was painfully with his own daughter when he learned about his good friend of two season’s death. Moncrief also has family back in the hometown of Tipton.

Tipton attended Central Michigan and was picked up by the Colts as an un-drafted free-agent in 2014.

According to Sports Illustrated, Moncrief credits his Southern upbringing for the gesture of kindness. He will help Tipton’s daughter, Zoe, economically and see her at the team’s Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions at Lucas Oil Stadium.

 “That comes from being from the South,” Moncrief said via ESPN. “Wanting to help people and always give back. Like my dad always says, it’s better to give than receive. I look at it as if she’s my daughter and I want to make sure she’s well taken care of. I know that’s something he would do for me. He’s still here watching over us,” Moncrief said. “He’s joking, rapping, singing and walking around with his shirt off like he’s cut up. That’s just him. He’s keeping everything going.”Indianapolis Colts running back Zurlon Tipton warms up as a goal post is wrapped in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month before an NFL football game against the New England Patriots in Indianapolis, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2015.

Despite the hole left behind, Moncrief believes Tipton is still with the Colts.
