Technically, he's not a King. And I believe he's a young man.

Good Guys Can Finish First - Go Rams * Kurtis was a stock boy in the Hy-Vee Supermarket in Cedar Falls, Iowa. One day when he was busily working in back, he heard a new voice come over the intercom asking for a carry out at register no. 4. He was almost finished and wanted to get some fresh air, so decided to answer the call. As Kurtis approached the check-out stand, a smile caught his eye. The new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman, maybe 26. He was only 22.....and he fell in love. Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She came into the break room smiled softly at him and took her card, punched out, then left. He looked at her card, "Brenda." He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with us." She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children. She had a older daughter who was just cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair, he was born a paraplegic with Down's syndrome. Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities. Just like her first husband and father of her children did. That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to go to the restroom, he picked him up out of his chair, took him, brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then, they have added two more kids. So what happened to the stock boy and check-out girl? Well, Mr.& Mrs. Kurt Warner, now live in St. Louis, where he is employed by the St. Louis Rams and plays quarterback.
