GREEN BAY, Wis. — A friend and co-worker of the tow truck driver hit and killed is remembering him as a super guy with a great dedication to his work.

Glenn's Towing president Darrell Henninger said that Jesse Hettmann always wanted to learn more and quickly went from employee to co-worker to friend.

Hettman died Friday when he was hit by a car along Interstate-41.

Henninger said he'll remember Hettmann as a super guy with a great dedication to his work.

"Always a guy willing to do the job," Henninger said. "We would make lunch plans and a call would come in, and he'd be the first one to skip lunch and go take care of the call."

Hettmann leaves behind a wife, two young kids, and countless friends and family.

Monday, trucks will line up for an honor run past the site of the accident.

Trucks will get on the northbound ramp and will light up their trucks with head lamps, running lights, or strobes.

Trucks will then exit and circle back to the southbound side.

A donation bucket will be set up for Jesse's family.
