Look, we all know that you (Heavy D) and Diesel Dave have money. That’s a given. However, what you do with it is just plain remarkable. Not only that, it’s your time. You, Diesel Dave and the crew out there, sometimes doing back breaking work to help common folk is just plain awesome. Thank You.
Amen and Amen! You Guy's need to start mentoring some young boys. We need more Men like You. To quote Jordan Peterson. "What would we do without Men?" Hes talking about YOU! God bless! Nothing but love. Ok. A little bit of jealousy! lol
@@privilegedwhitemale306 you think?

What's the matter Boo boo? You wanna be a hero, but mommy says nothing dangerous or no call of duty? Tee hee
Man, this is just worst case scenario after worst case scenario. My heart feels for them for sure. I can’t even imagine having to drive the rv home after going thru such a traumatic experience, that’s going to be tough for her. I was a manager at an rv park for a few years and one weekend we had an elderly man pass away in his rv. He was on vacation with his wife and an rv group. He passed in his sleep next to his wife. She woke up and found him. Their friends comforted her for hours but as it was a Sunday they all had to get on the road and return home as well bc it was just a weekend trip. I also had my sons birthday party that afternoon at the park bc we lived on the property. But I refused to set up while she was there. Since he was deceased he wasn’t taken out in an ambulance, the poor woman had to wait hours for the coroner to come. She also didn’t know how to drive the rv. Luckily her kids lived within driving distance and drove to pick her up so she wasn’t stranded, but she asked me if I could park her rv in our storage facility until she could make alternate plans. I gave her the rest of the summer storage for free and told her no rush. My heart broke for her. She kept saying “he was going to teach me on the ride home. He wanted me to learn to drive it. It’s like he knew he was leaving me.”
This made me absolutely sob… poor woman… we never know when it will be our last day. Always tell people you love them 💕🥺
God bless you and your family. God bless your son for waiting for his birthday party. ♥️
naw 😢😢
If you haven't earned your angel wings before this you certainly have now. The world is sorely missing selfless people like all of you.
omg thats terrible :( im always worried about my mimi or papa trying to teach me to do something because they know that they'll be gone or something will happen soon. i hope that lady was alright, even after all that. :((
I can’t imagine the horror of knowing you’re dying and leaving your wife without protection, something you’ve provided for years.
This right here. And leaving her in such a predicament. My heart breaks for both of them.
That's because 6 billion people on this earth wouldn't have made the 20 bad decisions they made
Only in America, in other countries especially third world countries, the children or relatives take care of the elderly..
@@scottieeasley4907 I thought the same thing. This guy did everything wrong, then he leaves his wife to fend for herself. How awful!
@bumetyanuba4231 this is what old retired people like to do lol.
I can’t imagine the survivors guilt I would feel if I went through this with my love…. My heart breaks for Beverly, Ron, and their families. You guys are great for doing this.
Absolutely!
Especially to be found the next day.
Mann that is just heartbreaking, RIP Ron and condolences to his lovely wife
show this video to the eurotrash that bashes america for not using public transportation.
"can you even get lost in your tiny country?"
ya, and just one wrong turn 😢
A horrible horrible tragedy !!! I use a walker. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be able to walk. What those people went through. So so sad My heart's broken too! That's when we need to take everyday that we have and appreciated and cherish it because you never never know what's around the corner. I'm an older woman so let me tell you I've seen a lot and lived through even more. So please cherish what you have. I just loved what you wrote and me had to put in my two words. God bless you honey and hope you have the most wonderful life! Many hellos from Alaska 👍🌹
Tina is right 👍❤love each day. Know your limitations and Be Kind to others. That's my 2 cents 😁 God Blessed us all 🙏🙏
did I hear him say Ron took his own life 😔💔?
I am full time RV.
The entire RV community has followed this heavily.
Heartbreaking, Thank you!
Dave, I know I’m just some random guy on the Internet. However, I want you to know how special of a person you truly are and how pure of a heart you have! You and diesel are hands down top notch guys! I would give anything to spend a week with you guys and pick your brains and just study how to be a better man from you guys. Truly inspirational!
The spirit of God seems very comfortable with these guys.
Some good lessons there. Went through something like this myself, got stuck, almost bitten by a couple of snakes, nearly ran out of water. Phone was crippled, in an iron-rich canyon, and could only make 911 calls out, not get calls in. Was able to eventually get a call through, and baked in the hot sun for hours before rescuers came. Glad I didn't die. Lesson 1, don't go out alone. Lesson 2, tell people where you're going.
Also If you're driving an RV and gonna buy a road atlas, buy a Motor Carriers road atlas. They color code roads based on whether an 18-wheeler can use them. I'd also buy a dedicated GPS device made specifically for truckers. You can program the exact size of your vehicle into them, and they won't take you down roads it wont fit thru.
As horrific as this story is, seeing people go so out of their way to help one another, there’s just something beautiful about that. Your time, your expertise and your hard work was crucial. My heart goes out to Miss Beverly and her family, she sounds like one tough woman but my heart still goes out to her as she mourns the loss of her love Ron.
This is the way our country should be!!! We don’t have $ for extreme help, but we can all offer a drink a sandwich a kind word etc… just how good would it be that we all might feel like we matter. You and your team are setting a good example just because it’s right ♥️🙏🏻🫶
Lol
Seeing that walker. Man. I cried. Old, helpless people, trying to muster up the energy to survive. I can’t imagine.
@@CyclingSJH could be anyones family member.
Beautifully said. 🥰
It breaks my heart that they were out there for so many days alone. They had each other, though. RIP Ron, my prayers are with Barbara.
If you have loved ones who travel, invest in a SPOT tracker, or some sort of emergency radio transmitter. They work, and literally can save lives.
Spot 2 way or Garmin in reach
Just tossing an airpod into their glove box works. Or i saw a walker sitting there. That'd be something they'd be expected almost always have with them.
Sadly this reminds me of the German family that got lost and passed away in Death Valley. While their rental van was found right away, it took years before their remains were found.
Won’t deny it…when you said, “Oh the walker” I teared up
the walker get me also, i teard up
Yes I remember the story. Such a fascination with Death Valley. There is a documentary on the roads and maps etc...
I live in Oregon and we have “seasonal” roads. Roads you can’t go down basically after the first snowfall. GPS doesn’t say that they are seasonal. A family tried to pass over the Siskiyou Mountains and they ended up on a seasonal road. The husband died trying to get help. Wife and kids traumatized, but alive
Wait the people who are stranded survive and the guy who went to go get help is the one that died? Now that surprises me…
@@JBBrickman no no that was the story in Oregon, which is confusing because this couple is also from Oregon, but they died in Nevada. The father that walked off to find help, he became hypothermic and started taking his clothes off in the snow and died. Snowmobiles found the mother and the little kids in the car a day or so later. They had tried to burn a car tire so the black smoke would attract attention and it didn’t work
The walker was hard to see. Thank you all for what you did for this family.
Why was the walker 'backward' against the fender of the car? Was it because its owner was hanging out, leaning on the hood? Or was it placed there incorrectly before the shot?
Thank you guys for being respectful and saying a prayer before doing what needed done! America needs more diesel brothers
Just more decent men to begin with tbh.
And what about profiting off of someone’s death. Disgusting.
@@cookinginhalifax5738 you think it was free to do all that? To fly that plane?
Amen . May Our Heavenly Father comfort and watch over Beverly and her family as well as all of the generous souls helping and over you for thanking them for their prayer. In Jesus mighty name Amen
@@cookinginhalifax5738 do you criticize a pastor for giving a heartfelt eulogy at a funeral? How many times have you wanted or wished you could do more for someone but couldn't because your financial situation wouldn't permit it? How many times have you stopped and gave lunch to someone hungry ? Regardless of how you see it they have a job to do and that job requires payment . Their hearts are still in the right place. Does your job allow you to get paid and make a difference? Mine does. I'm a deputy sheriff and while I get paid, it's not enough to ever say it's for the money. Be kinder in your judgement of others. You don't know their hearts and you might need help one day and no one is going to stop to ask you sir how will you be paying for this. God Bless💯❣️🙏
My heart and my condolences go out to Beverly and The Barker family, may Ron rest in peace. 💐
That is an awful tragedy. You guys are the best for being there and helping them recover their belongings, thank you.
I couldn’t imagine my husband passing away while we were stuck in the middle of the desert and the very next day, search and rescue shows up. I would be so angry at everything.
Quite literally.
Same the survivors guilt to
Thank you Heavy D for recovering the Rv. Ron and Beverly was related to me. Ron was my mom's cousin. My grandmother was a barker. I watch your videos all the time and never thought you would ever be doing anything the would have to do with my family. Small world. My family been through alot through the years. We lost my dad and grandma and grandpa all in the same year. I lost my dad to liver cancer. I been out to Utah and Arizona. I love moab Utah. I have a uncle out in San Manuel Arizona. Just wanted to say thank you very much. Your a very good person to go out of your way for things like this for people you don't even no. God bless you.
Welcome to life bud

So glad you guys handled this for her. That is extremely kind.
watching this is absolutely horrific, seeing how things are just frozen in time. I hope Beverly is getting therapy and is recovering.
you all and Adventures with a Purpose are OUTSTANDING!

@@carolmiller7310 Jared is pond scum. It's terrible for the victims, and bad for the families involved in AWP. A lot of people not employed right now, because of the pond scum.
Ya not a fan of the kiddie cousin diddler any longer
Can’t stand Jared!
It’s clear HeavyD was thinking about and keeping Ron and Beverly in his heart the entire time, and was genuinely upset by their experience. As tragic as this is, it’s good y’all do this incredibly physically and emotionally difficult work and bring these situations and events to everyone’s attention, so people can learn from the tragedies, and hopefully keep something similar from happening to someone else.
Bullshit. He’s making money off other peoples tragedies. It’s disgusting. He’s a POS.
Amen. Thank you.
There are no words, thank you boys for helping to recover these items, not for monetary gain but for FAMILIES who don’t have a ton of money. God bless you boys and your teams.
Watching this video kinda rights a world that feels upside down lately. A beautiful reminder that those who espouse compassion, generosity, and selflessness still walk among us, while at the same time inspiring others to do more and give more of themselves when possible. It feels good to have modern day heroes to look up to, thank you HeavyD and crew!
Condolences to those concerned.
Make one think that buying a emergency locator could be of high importance for most people who travel and adventure.
Yeah I own a GPS tracker made by invoxia. It uses cellular and GPS... Its on my Suzuki DR400 dirt bike and is about the size of a pack of gum, battery will last 3 months with a ping rate of every10 min while riding an hour a day, or 6 months if you have it only ping once per 24 hours. If I were to get in trouble. There is a button on it you can press to send sos pings with my location to anyone you want. You need to set it up before you get lost though. There is no way to do that once you are out of cell service and only have GPS signal. The thing is $120 with 2 years of cell/gps service. Garmin sells two way text GPS units that are cool but expensive.
Spot, garmin inreach and various others would definitely helped in this situation
@@scottcol23 making a note of this so I can look into it later.
I think a GPS comes first...
@@dominick253 GPS gets alot of people in trouble every year because they will false route.. same are this occurred about 6-8 years ago a semi got stuck thankfully the guy was on the good part of this rd and a local happened on him....his GPS showed this as a shorter route. Roughly 10yrs ago in northern NV a Canadian couple using GPS took the shorter route he tried to walk while his wife lived on melted snow and trailmix for 10 days I believe. The husband was found about 10 months later in a Grove of quaken aspens about 3 miles from their Van by 2 grouse hunters I work with.
I'm a friend of the family. Thank you all so much for the effort and consideration of this recovery. I'm sure you're all saints in the eyes of the Barker family.
That’s awesome

that sweet little memorial you guys put there was such a gesture of love and kindness to Ron and his wife. my condolences go out to that family.

Didn’t Beverly make it herself?
When placing the cross, I teared up big. I hope years down the road, the memory of Ron's last big adventure can bring a subtle smile for all. To the great man I'm certain Ron is remembered of being!

RIP Ron. This is so heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine the trauma the wife has just went through. Y’all are so amazing for helping them. This one really pulled at my heart strings. They left in hopes of finding peace and adventure, something so wholesome turned into the worse life event. I can feel Heavy Ds empathy for this couple and their trauma
This one had me crying , balling actually... But y'all did such a good , heart felt job .. I'm about to cry again... God bless you all
this one hits close to home as they’re the grandparents to someone i know. it’s a horrible situation but i’m glad you guys could help bring closure to the family.
I would hope somebody already offered to drive the motor home wherever she needs to go for her. I surely would if they need someone to drive it, I could fly to wherever need be. To drive her to wherever she needs to go. Then I will fly myself home
I'd be happy to help, drive he wherever, while she relaxes and watches TV.
I hope she is recovering well and I’m so sorry for their loss

It's because of recoveries like this that you, your guys and your company will always be blessed. Prayers for Ron, Beverly and their family.
God bless you Ron and your lovely wife so sorry that had to happen to you thank you for going out and doing what you guys do and filming at the rest of this world to know the real news and to see you guys being as awesome as you guys can be
Amen
Dave, I never knew Ron or Beverly of course. For some reason I am being urged to say Thank You for all you did to help. You are an Angel....
A big group of beautiful people doing a beautiful thing. The two Dave's built a friendship on a mission from God and they've been going on missions ever since. You guys keep on giving back. I'm so proud to always watch your shows and videos and see you lead from the front..
This is an amazing thing you did for this family. I can’t even imagine how difficult that was for them both, let alone Beverly. The walker got me too. It might have turned out so much better if they had stayed with their motor home. So sad, but this is also a great reminder that if you leave your motor home, to pack food, water, blankets, medications, shovels, tow ropes, First aid. I never go on a trip without these things, winter or summer, or any season! My heart goes out to this family. You all were so amazing to get those vehicles out for them.
Yes. I saw a doco & unfortunately they left their RV while it was dark. They thought they were close enough to the main road to get help in their Kia. They couldn't trust their RV GPS. They had all their supplies in their RV to last awhile, plus protection from the elements. They’d been travelling all day when they got stuck...so staying put & getting sleep in the RV would've helped. R.I.P Dear Ron 💜
I watch a channel called Adventures With Purpose. I’ve also watched you guys for a while. I was sad to see those worlds collide. Thanks for your hard work, guys.
A great channel too.
They have worked with Adventures With Purpose in the past :)
i was just watching awp and they came up so i had to check them out.
Love those AWP guy's..the work that goes into helping people and the sadness and relief of giving someone's loved one back is incredible...you took a job no one else would and helped this woman with the worst time in her life ...Kudos to you great job ...
I found them through watching adventures witg purpose
This so sad especially what they went through, r.i.p Ron. Hope Beverly recovers well. The hardest thing for Beverly is driving back home. Best wishes to beverly and her family..
I sure hope she won’t be driving that journey all alone , even in happy times and perfect health I wouldn’t want to drive that trip all by myself let alone just after losing the love of your life in such a traumatic way.
@@beckyluvstoscrapnsew, that's what I was thinking too. I hope someone drove it back for her. Such a sad story. 😥 This just goes to show they should have cell phone towers everywhere. Also I think everyone needs either an extra battery for their phone or some type of charger. I know they sale those chargers that you can charge up and plug your cell phone into them if you have to. Sometimes technology isn't what it's cracked up to be.
They have grown children
Heavy D and the crew, you guys are something else. Thank you for doing all you do. I'm a videographer and if you need help in the Steamboat Springs area, please feel free to reach out. I have that same motivation and care to help others as much as I can. Cheers to you guys and I'm sorry for the Family's loss. RIP Ron...
This story made big headlines, it is so reassuring that so many had the will to front up with real help, and you all were able to help this family in such a real way.
Man the "luck" you have made for yourself and your business partners has givin you an ability and humility to just give back. Awesome s$%t guys. Keep it coming.
Man this was hard to watch my parents out camping in Smokey mountains with no service in their 70s I worry but know they are living their best life,Sorry for their loss, will be praying for comfort for the family. You guys are just good dudes plain and simple.
Do they have a SPOT device, Garmin InReach, etc.? If not, look into those and the other satellite-enabled PLBs and communication devices.

It’s so important to be prepared for situations like this when going on these kinds of trip. Rip. It’s so sad seeing the rv. What a great man and his crew for helping. Ron must have been such a strong man to go thru all this. I truly hope someone flew out to drive back with that poor lady. I couldn’t imagine how sad it would have been for her to drive back alone.
It's hard to find anyone in this new world that would help anyone that needs it. Glad I started watching you. It brings me back to the old days when everyone helped each other. And never had to lock your doors.
There are many MANY people that help others. You’ve just stopped seeing them for some reason

I'm a 42 yr old Army vet who's seen and been through more than most could ever possibly comprehend both in the military and moreover personal life experiences and this brought tears to my eyes. I'm not someone who normally show's emotions or even cries, but if a story like this doesn't have the same affect on yourselves then you must not be human.
Damn guess I’m an alien now
My heart and tears agree with your words, Diesel. GPS's misleading and disorienting people that are using and relying on them, is not a new thing. I do feel the company manufacturing and setting up the mapping programs will not make any changes unless there is a legal precedence set by prosecuting and holding them accountable for such a case as this, therefore hopefully avoiding any potential loss of life, due to faults in this product going forward. More human brains and less robotic technology should be involved in the manufacturing and mapping programs used in a GPS. Period.
Your compassion and sensitivity are striking!! Amazing work! RIP uncle Ron, change the missing person law Nevada!!!

This reminds me so much of Rita and Albert Chretien from here in BC. They became lost in Nevada and sadly, Albert did not make it. Rita was found 7 weeks later and it was a miracle she survived. Such a tragic ending for both of these stories.
heartwrenching. simply so sad that something went wrong and someone died. i hope that beverly is surrounded by love and can get therapy. rest well, ron. 🙏🙏🙏
RIP Ron, and condolences to his beloved wife, and family.
To Dave and the crew, much respect.
Very much respect for you guys.
This is insane, I got lost here a few years back and luckily my wife at the time figured out gps had taken us the wrong way, and turned us around. We ran out of gas as we pulled up to the gas station luckily. Sad to see this happening to this family. God bless this family!
I felt so bad when I saw their story a couple months ago. Such a tragic incident. I was thankful they were together when Ron passed away. God Bless Beverly, her family and all those that helped recover the vehicles
Incredibly sad...heartbreaking. Rest in heaven Ron, your adventures here are done.
Thank you for finding them ❤️
I am just now seeing this. How tragic and heartbreaking, I couldn't imagine going through something like this. What a scary time it must have been. RIP Ron, Sends my condolences to his wife and family.
Dave, I appreciate your compassion when you talk about Ron. My mom and step dad RV'd the last 15 years of their lives that they could. Every day I worried.. its no joke, especially with todays society.
Couldn't agree more!! His sensitivity and compassion are striking! Change the missing person law Nevada!
My grandparents drive up and down the coast a couple times a year and I always worry about them. Luckily I know my grandfather knows what he's doing since he taught me everything I know
Did society make them drive an rv down dirt roads? Did society force them to not take supplies in the car? 🧐 I don't think so. This was their own stupid fault.
@@kayb8211 I hear ya Kay. People don't know what they are doing sometimes and it's a sad ending. Hope more people Learn from others mistakes. My purse is like a survival bag LOL!
These are my new favorite videos to binge on. Hits close to home. I went on a search and rescue to find my brother and his friend. They were snowmobiling in the Little belt mountains near Showdown ski area. That is the most snow I have ever ridden in. -40F and 30 ft of snow. We could not go anywhere on the sleds of that era. The Air Force found the fire they had started by infra red. They survived 3 days and nights inside the fire pit. Only frostbite and broken egos thank god! Thank God for you guys.
We live in rural Nevada. It can be a scary situation when u know that cars are not going to be coming by to help. Praise for all of you.
I love that you guys take on the jobs that no one else will and genuinely care for people. My condolences to Ron's family but grateful you guys were there to help them.
Bless your heart for rescuing their vehicles and bringing attention to what could happen to anyone if they get lost. May Ron rest in peace and for his wife to have wonderful memories of them together.
I know that woman is so thankful to y'all for bringing back her last memories of her husband. God bless y'all!
LET'S TALK ⤴️⤴️⤴️
THANKS FOR WATCHING.
Hi Dave This was amazing story on TH-cam, you are amazing and your friends, I started following on the Sin City Outdoors in Lake Mead your group helped get that boat off the sand , what amazing work and kind things you do , god bless you and your crew !
This is so sad. This has hit home. Thank you for helping this family. My father was a Vietnam veteran hes up in heaven with Ron sharing some drinks and laughs. Rest in peace Ron
Thanks for the feedback,
Reach me through the What'sap line for more info and guidance..
This recovery was very emotional to watch. My parents are in their late 60's early 70's now and starting to travel more in a setup almost exactly the same. I am going to make sure they understand their GPS unit and ensure it is not configured to take them on roads like this if possible.
they were using maps, not a gps if they were using a gps it would not have taken this route..
I know this is rude, but as long as they are not idiots you don’t have to worry. If the road ahead of you gets really bad and your in some shitty car don’t keep going smh.
Make sure they take water with them everywhere
Get them an EPIRB. They can just keep it around in case they get into trouble. No subscription services or anything. Fantastic for hiking, or just being in remote areas.
@@JoltingS14 that's the answer right there.
This hits closer to home. I'm so glad you were able to help this family. My grandpa pulled over on a road trip for a nap one afternoon and never woke back up. I can only imagine what grandma went through that day. Such a sad sad situation and the family is in my prayers.
Stories like this are the reason I'm afraid to let my grandparents and eventually my own parents go out on their own when they grow old because you really don't know what could happen.
My partner and I worry about my mother-in-law and her driving all over. So he got AirTags for us all. He tracks me, our youngest daughter (oldest is married) and his Mum and I track him. Even if there is an issue and the location/ping is delayed, you at least have an idea of where they are/where. My MIL, and the rest of us, have it on our keys, cos it’s my partner and MIL’s car keys (so they need them) and our daughters front door key. It’s given my partner and I huge peace of mind with his Mum xxx
As someone from Indiana, I appreciate your services, and taking your time to help out a fellow Hoosier!
I agree 💯 from another Hoosier.
Argee as well..from Indiana..thanks for what you done..
Man, that story is sad as hell. I think about all those times my grandparents would take their van up in to the mountains 30+ years ago before GPS and Grandfather would just pick a random trail to drive down looking for a good fishing spot, it's kind of a miracle they never got stuck and stranded like this. You sir, are a wonderful human being for doing things such as this.
I feel the same way. We live in Colorado and my family had a cabin in the mountains.
Just please dont reply to this scamer there using fake accounts with copied photo of the original content creator to launder you out of your monney I hope I was in time to warn you..
You gentlemen are amazing humans. Brought me to tears. Bless you all . And my heart goes out to the family
Tragic but beautiful story. Thank you for being the way that you are about helping when and where you are needed. My condolences to the family.
My eyes watered when I saw the walker and you explained what she was doing to get water. God Bless you Heavy D and the boys for doing this.
Wow, what a sad story, poor Beverly and my thoughts go out to her family. Well done to the Diesel Power guys for recovery work. Thank goodness for your team…..and ALL who took part.
Thank you for helping that widow I hope you can keep the compassion and the love you show
The compassionate and respectful care y'all show while doing these recoveries is astounding. The world. needs more men like you, you lead by example with integrity and honor, which gives me hope for the future.
My condolences to the Barker family, and praying for our Lord to bring you peace in difficult times.
💜 FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 💜
I feel Ron's desperation and the sadness he must have felt to not be able to make adequate preparations of safety for his wife's well being. Must have truly been a difficult passing. I feel grateful for his wife's survival but am sad for her having to re-live this tragedy over and over again. Peace Be with Beverly. "HeavyDSparks" and ALL involved with the recovery, _Thank You_ is not enough. I will Thank You anyway.
P.S. More and more search and discovery, recovery, and closure teams are popping up all the time. I should thank all of them here. To many of them to name here. Thanks to all that help PEOPLE everywhere.
Damn. things like this take a toll on you, Heavy D. Hope you got some great ways to relieve your mind and soul of the weight
I can't believe they made it that far in the big RV. I wish they would've just stopped not kept going.
Thank You Guys Pretty Awesomeness of you Guys to do this 💝
Beverly herself said, in an interview, that their GPS was not set for drivable roadways.
I thought if your GPS was on, it was automatically set for "drivable roadways" ???
It's too bad they did review the turn list. I always do on long trips because I ended up following directions right into an urban area I should not have been in. So sad their outcome ended this way.
Yea, there's something to be said about remembering a paper map. Technically dependency can be dangerous.
At some point common sense shouldve kicked in much sooner.. motorhomes aren't made for the type of road they took it on.. for over an hour..
They placed too much faith in the GPS and not in their own common sense and it cost them dearly
Hopefully their story is a lesson learned for many
@@debereisinger3057 nope, there are aps that once you tell them dirt roads are ok you have to remember to set them back (one is waze), I found this the hard way.
What a sad story. So cool what you did to help them. Taking the jobs no one else will. Makes you the man of the hour
Died in his wife’s hands & came back to save to her ❤️
You and the rest of the crew are good people!!!! I can't imagine their fears and difficult conditions. The reward was being able to help them. 💖
Wow, I can only imagine how this couple must have felt. God bless Ron & keep Bev in Your healing hands....
I’m from Indiana and this was all over the news. It was so sad hearing the outcome of that story. I’ve been around that area of Nevada and couldn’t imagine an elderly couple in an RV trying to navigate those trails.
I to Am in Indiana. I posted on fox59 about this video
I've watched a couple of your videos now and what strikes me most is the strong, beautiful, intelligent, gorgeous, cooperative bunch of guys you are. I think the weirdo's call that "toxic masculinity". Bravo, each and every one of you!
I love your videos. This one teared me up. Thank you so much for helping this Viet Nam veteran. Placing the cross at the place of death was so heartbreaking. You guys ROCK!
This broke my heart when I saw they found them and her husband. Had passed away. That wood cross and purple ribbon on it on the car was even more heart breaking. I am glad your were able to get the vehicles out. God bless mom and RIP dad. Your wife is safe like you wanted. 🙉❤
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for not judging these people. We have ALL made our share of mistakes.
Well said, and well put.
I remember when this happened. It’s gut wrenching to think about what they went through. I’m happy that the wife got her vehicles back thanks to the good people who helped her. I hope she’s alright and lives a happy life.

did they say Ron took his own life ? 😥😔
@@mariannepeart8570 I caught that too and replayed it 3x.
I seriously doubt she wants that Kia Soul back. Did you see the guys wearing masks from the decomp odor??
Thank you to everyone involved in helping this lady recover her vehicles. And thank you for everything that you do helping families find their missing loved ones. Prayers for the wife,so sorry for your loss. God Bless Rest In Peace Mr. Ron 🙏🙏🙏
Ron & Bev’s home is very close to me… thankfully Beverly is doing well. Thank you for doing whatever you could to help. 🤗💜🙏🏻
Oh wow, what a terrifying experience, they must have had. My heart goes out to the wife and all of the family. Thank you for helping them to get their things out.

What you do renews my faith in humanity. We need this kind of caring and compassion, especially during these harrowing tes.
God bless you all for this service you do. God's angels on earth.
