Detroit man has a helicopter drop money from the sky as his last wish.

58-year-old car wash owner Darrell "Plant" Thomas passed away in June and wanted to give his community one final gift.

On the day of his funeral, Thomas' sons Darell and Jonte organized a helicopter to drop cash and rose petals.

"This was a final expression of love from him to the community because he was a giver. Yesterday was simply a farewell tribute to an Eastside legend," his niece said.

Thomas was reportedly the owner of a local car wash, according to People, and wanted to drop the money as his last wish.

He reportedly passed away from Alzheimer's Disease.
