What wasn't lost on me was the fact that the building behind your truck had lawn care equipment just sitting there. Like, what? And you, a man from an entirely different state, not only cleaned up that mess at the cost of your time and equipment, but recruited local firefighters to help. The biggest kudos to you!
34:00 when they said the line of mowers belonged to the Sheriffs department! Crazy... wonder who is supposed to do the upkeep at the cemetery. I know the one we frequent is kept up by county workers. If this isn't a private one, shame on whoever has forgotten it. And if it IS a private one someone needs to find out who should maintain it and restore that connection and task. Seems like it might have gotten lost in the system after the flooding but time to get it back in the system again and get some workers out there regularly to keep up what he started. It's a lot easier to maintain after a big clean up like this after all.
Respectful that a cemetery is a solemn and peaceful place , I was thinking maybe a few shrubs would soften it a little and maybe seats for relatives , if any , to sit and reflect our cemetery's in the UK , have trees and shrubs and it makes them so beautiful and peaceful.
Just watched the cleanup of this cemetery and being a genealogist I thought I would just add that this is the Johnson Fisher Cemetery in Port Sulfur, Louisiana. It can be found on Find A Grave and there are a few requests for photographs from this cemetery. Also, the GPS locations are missing for this cemetery. You do such a wonderful job. I would just suggest you carry a GPS locator and document the cemetery for Genealogy purposes, or report the cleanup to the local or state genealogical society so they can go and locate the cemetery properly and do a walk through. It is important to locate lost relatives. It should be the city's responsibility to take care of abandoned or neglected cemeteries.
Thank you so much for your knowledge and wisdom and for sharing this information to the communities. It's amazing how God starts at one place and brings people to an ending that will be able to close doors for them and help them to have understanding about their history and their genealogy. Great help.! Thank you.❤
I also saw the lawn mower company next door and the fire department across the street. You would think people would take pride in their community and respect for the departed to take a little of their time to keep it taken care of. Thank you for taking your time to give these people the respect they deserve.
When my father died suddenly I had to go buy plots and the first thing I ask after picking them out was about if keep up was included . And for a extra one hundred it included lifetime maintenance. With gas prices soaring I have often sent money for mowing and living out of state I can say every time I’ve been down the cemetery is in beautiful condition
I was happy to see the firemen get involved. I could see a church, a fire department, YMCA and an elementary school around that cemetery and wondered why someone didn't take it on as a community service project.
here in volusia county (daytona beach) fla. there are several groups that tend to older cemeterys.As a former lawn maintenece worker for an 110 acre cemetery, I get disappointed when I see unkept plots and high grass.Thanx for taking care of that small place ,It looks like a place that people drive by and not notice.
A man that drives past a war memorial grave yard when he’s taking his family camping and has to come back to cut it because you can’t stand to see it over grown is a good man. We need more good men like you, Al, and Ap. You 3 are 3 of the hardest working men I’ve ever seen and much of it you do for free to help others. God bless all of you and your families.
There is a church just yards away with members who could take it upon themselves, without being asked, to clean that small cemetery. Kudos to the firemen who came out and helped. They have a lot of downtime (my son-in-law is a fireman) so it was really nice of them to step in and help. Thank you “Boring Channel” for all you do without being asked. We could use more citizens like you who don’t feel it is others’ jobs to help out.❤️
I can't believe you threw those perfectly good flowers and wreaths away. Where I'm from, we put them on the grave for a couple months and take them home to reuse them the next year.
That's what I was thinking: Fire Dept, YMCA, a school, and a business with mowers in the background and nobody took the initiative on their own. No disrespect but seriously, this is why I can't handle the lazy small town mentality where so many people have zero initiative.
I have watched DOZENS of these lawn mowing videos and I must say - THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!! 1. You cleaned up a forgotten and neglected cemetery 2. You did it so respectfully 3. You got firemen to help 4. You paid so much attention to detail 5. You stuck it out in the rain TWICE 6. You were so pleasant 7. THANK YOU - I thought of how often I have made the trip from FL to Michigan to care for the graves of my parents and sister - YOU stood in the place of people who buried loved ones there who probably aren’t able to care as they use to♥️♥️♥️ 8. GREAT JOB!!!
I’m was born and raised in south Louisiana.. I’m 2hrs from this location. It’s terrible that theres literally a business right there with lawnmowers and no one there could take the time to cut the lawn at this cemetery. Thank you for taking care of this place. Hopefully someone will keep up with it.
33:00 I love that despite the firemen suggesting to leave that trash pile alone, you went for whatever cleanup you could manage and I think by you repeatedly stepping in to clear more trash that was motivation for them to keep helping you for at least a while (FF, 33-39). Your efforts and interest certainly are motivating for others. Another 4 guys and maybe another 4 bags would be taken away, 20 minutes of work at a time could still make another serious dent in that pile...maybe they would come back idk. Your whole day there was just amazing to watch. Good job.
It's shameful to see lawn equipment in back of the cemetery and a church next door, shame on.those supposedly Christians. I have watch alot of your videos and you are a great guy for what you do for free. along with the other guys too!!!
It looks like the grave is so sunken in that the only thing covering the hole is the trash. That's why they told him to leave it alone, and warned him that the closest hospital is about 40 minutes away.
The total lack of respect for the dead by not taking care of this cemetery is disgusting, so I'm elated to see what you did with it. Fantastic job!!! I applaud you brother. I also want to thank the firefighters who helped out as well.
@@samueljaramillo4221 If I remember correctly in some of the videos I ran across after Katrina is that a lot of the cemeteries down in Louisiana have the responsibility of gravesites fall to the volunteers/family and after Katrina a lot did not return or were not able to. So it is plausible a caretaker could have passed away and no one else was appointed or there is no one else to do it.
I thank you for this, my family that passed (Grandparents, Aunt, Uncles, Cousin) in Pennsylvania didn't have anyone cleaning their graves. I live out of state and come back once a year. It had weeds 6 feet tall. I couple just like you spend there time and money to clean up a cemetery that they had no family in it. It's people like you that bring a little bit of sunshine into this world. God bless you, and your family.
What a kind and thoughtful cleanup. Above and beyond, that extreme junk removal. Sad the city doesn’t maintain that sacred ground better. Thank you for making those souls rest better. Thanks too for the firefighters that pitched in. A miraculous improvement.
You made the cemetery look great. Thank you and thank you to the fire fighters who gave you a helping hand. It looks like you had an outside shower lol.
Very nice and respectful clean up! Looks so much better. 👍👍. Shameful for a garbage mound being in the middle. 😡. Hopeful someone in the local area can find a few people to take care of the rest. On top of someone's grave? Very kind and thoughtful job. 👍👍
Great job ! You are a man of honor! I’m from La. and this city should be ashamed not taking care of this cematary! Thank you so much for all the good things you do!!
I think your kindnesses to neglected graveyards will be a blessing for you and your family. God must smile down on you when you show this kind of respect.
I've watched you do several cemetaries now. The care and respect you show while working to clean them up is admirable. Thank you for caring enough to make a difference.
Thank you for being the difference we all hope to see in the world. I was just commenting to myself, " I can't believe there's a public school, a YMCA, a fire station, and all those establishments within walking distance and this cemetery looks so awful." No sooner did I say it, the local firefighters showed up to help! Hopefully your actions will inspire others to maintain this little area.
@@teeandkids937 I’m just saying we often make judgement calls based upon personal observations without knowing the actual details. I include myself in this. Do you really know that that YMCA, church, fire department are not struggling financially? Is it their responsibility to maintain the cemetery? Have they tried getting volunteers to maintain it and nobody came forward? It’s easy to point fingers and say “they should take care of it.”
Thank you so much FIRMEN for helping Juggernaut clean up this cemetery. It's beyond me how family's could let their loved ones graves get so bad.may these rest in peace.
So proud of you taking the time to stop and do this . I challenge all the clean up crews like you to do a cemetery some weekend instead of a house. All of our Americans deserve this. God bless.
This gentleman, and the fireman, done a wonderful job of doing this cemetery. Thank you very much to all that were involved in straightening up this cemetery. Avoid all the negative comments
OMG, how can people look at themselves in the mirror, knowing they dumped their trash bags on war veterans graves. You know who you were, shame,the same people who fought for your freedom gets disrespected like this. City should put out reward for turning them in. Jail or probation, with conditions of supervised clean up and one year continued maintenance or return to jail. You are a saint for doing this
@@Phisherman86, also there is a church right close by and they HAVE to see that mess every time they meet. Too Heavenly minded to be of any earthly good?
Well done, as always, Kevin! I'm amazed at your high tolerance for working through uncomfortable conditions! Drenched, muddy, sweaty, ants, wet feet, you just keep on working and no cutting the job short! Kudos!
So much admiration for your devotion to helping those in need and showing so much respect to clean an old cemetery that had been trashed and neglected. And you had to deal with Louisiana rain, too! God is smiling on you! 😇
how disrespectful to just throw a bunch of garbage where people are laid to rest. And letting the grass get so bad. pathetic. Thank you for being a decent person and cleaning this up. good man.
Bless you for doing the cemeteries, Kevin! It shows respect and appreciation for those who came before. Thanks to the firemen who helped out! And hi to viewer Joe who gave you the shrimp! Blessings to you both!
I sincerely thank you for cleaning up old cemetaries. I did want to ask you tho why did you pull the flowers? Some looked still good to leave on the graves? Again thank you
I forgot to add, theres the sheriffs dept and fire dept and another business right there and they dont have the ooomph to mow it and keep it nice themselves?? Sad.....very sad
I think it’s remarkable that you took it upon yourself to clean up the cemetery in respect for those who are laid to rest there. Though they may be forgotten, they should still be respected and you did that and inspired the firefighters to do the same. I hope people who visit that site will take a little bit of that trash away every time they visit. What probably took years to accumulate, can be removed each time to restore dignity to whatever is underneath the pile. Kudos to you and kudos to the firefighters! Great job, men!
A while back, I worked cleaning a company's building. The one woman in HR was there all the time, taking care of paperwork and whatnot that needed to be done for workers to get their claims filed for Covid. It put a strain on her home life and we talked about how hard it was for her. Her words always stuck with me. "Somebody has to care". It is the same with you and doing this project. Somebody has to care and that somebody is you. You get others to care too... same as that woman in HR. Thank you for caring. It's the first step in making a difference.
This is my favourite of your videos thus far because 1) it honors the dead; and 2) the local firefighters came out to help, showing community spirit. I do wonder what happened with the person(s) responsible for maintaining this site. How could they let it get so bad? As for the stones themselves, they are not in good shape and need more care. I know this is beyond what you do, but someone should pain them and repair them. Lastly, I am impressed with your dedication, doing this in the rain, humid heat, with fire ants, dealing with garbage, etc. Good job!
Well, this is Saturday, April 22, 2023 and I found your video of you working on a unknown cemetery doing such a nice job. I have done genealogy for years and traipsing through cemeteries for research but the kindness that you have shown here was remarkable, especially since there seems to be a riding lawnmower, place right behind you - seems odd that they wouldn’t address this. So thank you for your kindness and respect.
So sad to see a little cemetery in such an awful condition. Bless you for restoring it to some form of normality. It broke my heart when I saw all that debris just dumped on hallowed ground, you are one amazing man.❤
Thank you for cleaning this little cemetery. I used to live near there in Buras, but I haven’t been back since Katrina. That whole area was underwater for weeks so those grave markers survived a lot.
I think they felt embarrassed watching Kevin work so hard voluntarily. Whatever the reason, I'm glad they stepped up to clear and bag the worst of the debris. Great job, Kevin!! You are a good human💜
I think the firemen waited. Hoping He’s almost done hoping they wouldn’t have to come out lol but in the end they did because I think you made him feel bad that you were working so hard on a town graveyard that you don’t even live near. Thank you for having so much respect for the graveyard.
All right, yes I’m going to comment again. I am from a small town in Louisiana not a great distance from the place he’s at. And I will say we have more respect for our ancestors. The people had passed on. I will graveyards we keep up and that one is so small. Why has it gone so far? and the people that are riding by and just looking on it’s not like he’s been there just 10 minutes. Where is the pride in this town? It’s just mind-boggling. Watching him in this video. The lack of care in this town. I’m sorry I will not be coming in again. I just cannot believe what I’m seeing. thank you Kevin for showing most respect and care and the people that live there and walk by it day by day. And that trash pile the things he was pulling out shows people were throwing stuff there. There’s got to be a way they can clean that pile out of that grave yard there’s no reason for it except lazy . I’m sorry I should not be so disrespectful. I don’t know the people but I just feel bad for the lack of respect to the people in the graves. I’m sorry to anyone that lives in that town that I’ve showed any disrespect to.
Another amazing transformation Kevin!!! I have so much respect for u as a person as well as for the service u provide to someone in need. U have so much respect and have the hugest, most caring heart. U take pride in any transformation u do. U, ur dad, Al & AP need to go on a tour together for u all care about other's needs. This is one of ur best videos showing the respect, care, precision cutting and the best final touches. Most just cut tall grass down and leave it to look just as bad. I've had 6 back surgeries that now limit my lifting, but i can still use my zero turn and weed eater. Please take care of ur back for when it goes, it's never the same again. Just last year I was mowing 3 yards, and now this year I'm down to just half of my yard due to a very steep hill. I did just buy a new Toro self propelled mower for the hill, but I walk very far due to not having full use of my right leg. A big thank u to the firefighters who helped u out a little. Thank u Joe for blessing u with some fresh shrimp after a long day. U made his day by getting in touch with him and going by his place. May God always watch over u while ur working and away from home. May He continue to Bless u and ur family. Sending much respect and fan love for u and ur beautiful family from Rush Springs, Oklahoma ❤❤
Thankyou Kevin for cleaning up this cemetery. It had me crying for the poor souls that are buried there. I just can't get over the fact that the city officials let it go that way and the dump pile was pathetic on their part. Thank you also for you fireman that helped our Kevin out with the clean up. Hi Joe good to meet you. Blessing to all of you
I think this kind act is a reminder. That one person can pitch in and help. Another person can pressure wash the head stones, and another person can bring flowers etc.
I really appreciate you doing all of that back breaking work for those folks. A lot of times there isn't any family left to clean these graves. Thank you
Thank you for cleaning up this cemetery. It's so sad that those who live in this town did not take care of the final resting place for their citizens. The sextons in Northern Michigan who are responsible for our cemeteries do a fine job in keeping them clean. The boy scout troops keep the cemeteries mowed. The VFW puts flags on veteran's graves. Thank you again!💖
I appreciate how precision and neat your clean-ups are. You’re not sloppy and you don’t leave it sloppy like some other lawn care people do on TH-cam. I like how you keep going over the grass until most everything is nothing but dust and dirt. I know that’s extra gas and effort but it makes all the difference in the final job. Even when you’re exhausted you still try to do it all right/correctly. Not half assed or sloppy.
I didn't even know there was a word for that. I guess I could classify myself as one. Just wait until you see the ones I have picked out for the spring
You taught me something today Jacqueline Cyr. I have enjoyed walking graveyards and reading the headstones for a long time. I especially enjoyed the very old cemeteries in Cades Cove, Sevierville Tennessee. I did not know there was actually a word for people like us. Thank you for teaching me a new word today. I too am a taphophile. ☺️. Karen Gossett, I had to Google it as well!🤣🤣🤣
This is why we love your channels so much…when you decide to do a job nothing will stop you from getting it done. Those had to be the most miserable working conditions ever! What a great job you did! Thanks to the firemen for helping out. ❤
There's a lot wrong with this picture. I have issues with the fact that the cemetery is in such a public area. Possibly, the city was built up around the cemetery, but then factor in the total lack of care and respect for those buried there. Great job, Kevin! It is awesome that you care and "DO" the work that needed to be done because no one else did! Thank you for your heart! ❤️
Ya there is not much land there. It's a very narrow strip of land with levees on both sides. Some areas were only about a football field wide. It is one of the oddest places I have ever been. I honestly felt very claustrophobic knowing that I was inside of a bowl of water. I was there for 2 or 3 days and it rained almost non stop😬🤣 Joe gave me the tour and showed me the massive pumps that the country uses to constantly pump water out of the area. Honestly people that live on the coast are just a bit crazy 🤪 hurricanes and flooding all of the time and they keep going back but then again they say the same thing about us and tornadoes 🌪 🤣🤣
Many moons ago that cemetary must have been on the outskirts of the town. Towns develop so I can easily understand it's sort of next to a house. We don't know the history of that town. Just saying. Also, I lost my dad 60 years ago and I moved away from Namibia to Cape Town.. I've only been back twice to visit. I know years ago. The cemetary in Windhoek in Namibia was classified the tidiest in the world. Don't know if its still today.
My guess is that as the city grew, the family wouldn't agree to move the graves when all the rest of the cemetery sold out. I've seen this in a couple of other videos on channels that focus on cleaning tombstones or touring cemeteries.
@@TheBoringChannelLawnCare does weed whacking cause pain in your back? If so stop at the nearest mall or truck stop and for $1 you get three minutes in the massage chair. I highly recommend this! While you're doing that bring a fat roast beef sandwich to celebrate all your hard work.
Just love the way you have helped the community, the people that dumped their rubbish in that cemetery should be ashamed. Respect from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺👍
After a few years of watching your videos I'm still amazed at your willingness to do what you do out of the kindness of your heart. I pray the surrounding community will take up the sword and keep this burial place as nice as you have made it. Great work Juggernaut!
Keep finding these gems that have been neglected n forgotten, with u doing these acts of kindness, maybe this will teach others to remember n respect each other, thanks kevin
The words gone but never forgotten are found on many headstones. These people laid at rest in this cemetery were unfortunately long forgotten, and it's heartbreaking. Thank you for what you did and continue to do. Thank you for making a difference and being a positive influence in this dark world. Matt. 5 :14-16
Looks like theres some flowers and things there. Now that its clipped up, maybe it will be easier for older folks to come and visit the graveside. Its hard to get in with all that tall grass
Perhaps everyone that cared, are long gone now. Apart from it being a place for them to rest. It's more of a place for family and friends to pay their respects. Don't forget these areas have had some terrible, natural disasters over the years. Their souls have long departed this world.🌻
I, too, am appalled at people's total disregard for a cemetery, what it means to those buried there as well as survivors! I understand these plots contain remains of war veterans, which is all the more important to respect accordingly. Such a heartfelt, but seemingly thankless effort you've done for these heroes, and kudos to the firemen who helped with the clean-up! God bless you many times over for your heart being where it is! You should feel proud of yourself, and pride is understandingly kept quiet😊 Thank you once again for doing the right thing and a big thank you to the firemen who helped clean up the mess dumped on someone's crypt! They are now in a peaceful, respectful place of rest.❤❤❤
Great points. I had issues with it being next to a sheriff building and across from an elementary school and the fire department. What kind of message about respect does that send to the kids who walk past everyday as they grow up.
It just knocks me out to witness your generosity in time and effort, sweat and muscle. Not to mention the expense. I hope people in the areas you've served will pick up where you left off and provide the care these places deserve.
Thank you! My heart cries every time I go to the cemetery where my dad is. I take clippers, jug of water, rags and trash bags whenever I visit home. You are making a change in this ugly world, and we appreciate it.
Your energy, dedication, fortitude to your task is above and beyond gratitude. Your kindness and respect for those who have passed so appreciated. The rain storm was the cleansing of the grave stones. How amazing you caught the notice of the fire chief and their help with the trash. You are a saint!
So thankful to you for cleaning up the cemetery. And a special shout out to the Fire Fighters for their help! The town needs to find an organization to maintain the cemetery now!!
Cool to see the Fire Dept. getting involved! Maybe a local contractor could step up & clean out that pile. Who knows, there may be someone under there. Since you did most of the hard work, maybe a landscaper there could give something back to their community by taking over & just maintaining it?
Wow. That was absolutely brilliant. Congratulations. I don’t have an award for you, but that was the best thing I’ve watched on my television in years. I actually cried. I was flipping between you and another American and his sons and then an Australian guy all day, because I found it helpful to have my headphones on so that I could feel that you guys were working so hard lawnmowing and I needed to pull my weight. I did a lot of cooking and cleaning. I was about to go to bed and this video popped up and it piqued my interest because I take my dog for a run to our town cemetery each day. The grass is mown short or non existent because it is in a big paddock on the edge of the bush. The dog can’t get grass seeds stuck in her and it is very quiet and pleasant. I just drive the roads between the graves and she runs and she has a few swims in a little dam in the paddock next door. I watch the swallows swoop over the dam catching insects and the family of Superb Fairy Wrens hopping around in the short native grass. It is the loveliest time of the day. When you gathered up all those old plastic flowers I was wishing that I was game to do that too, because they are awful things. One only needs to sit quietly in nature to see the beauty and serenity at a cemetery. I only lay natural things on “the ancestors” (😂) graves. Pomegranates, daffodils, rosemary, roses and other flowers all have special meaning to them and me. I’m Australian and I have definitely had a dose of culture shock through your channel. I’m pretty proud to think that that would not happen here. Now I understand you so much better, because although that attitude exists everywhere I didn’t think that Americans would be so selfish as to not mow their neighbour’s nature strip especially men in service as such. Yet it exists here in Australia too. I’m not accustomed to it where I live. Most people would mow two or three houses down if needs be. Anyway fantastic video. Very, very powerful and the sea level stuff was fascinating. There was a barge going through at the start of the video and my eyes were 😳. ps. The placement of the camera and those fireman sitting on those lawnmowers, with you working in the rain was absolutely cinematic genius, if it had not been actually happening.
This man deserves the key to the city.. at least a special mention on their local paper. Wow! I almost missed the end… thank you for visiting the elderly or home bound.. many of the tombstones and old cemetery go neglected especially after Katrina when most people were forced to leave… thanks again for your caring…
I want to thank you and the firemen for cleaning the cemetery. Showing respect to people that have passed through before us. god is smiling down on the four of you.
I’ve now watched 3 of your cemetery cleanups Kevin and you are a credit to fellow humanity. I’m astounded that these towns let there cemetery get like this it shows no respect or pride in the place you live in or the people buried there. Correct me if I’m wrong fellow Aussies but I’ve never seen anything like this in Australia.
I love that you were in Louisiana! So sad you had to clean up a neglected grave yard. I, too, hate that there are piles of trash. I expect more from my people, my home state. May God continue to bless your work.
Watching from Suffolk UK, loved this video. The fact that you gave your time to clean up an overgrown cemetary shows us all just how kind you are. Good Luck to you in 2023.
Watching you clean up this graveside brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for caring so much that you took this upon yourself to clean it up. It is sad that those who used this burial spot don’t keep it up. Whether it is a city or business. God Bless you and all that you do. Most of all thank your wife and family to support you in doing this. ❤ you for all that you do.
If my family/friends were buried there I would be so thankful for your time. You're an awesome human to travel to all of these places and help the communities. Your family and you are an inspiration for us to keep giving to our own.
Just when I think I’m losing hope in humanity I see this video. I’m so impressed by your compassion. How wonderful was that! Those firefighters coming in to help as well….wow. God bless you all.
The cemetery looks 100% better thanks to you. And the firemen. Too bad you couldn’t have completely gotten rid of that trash heap. It really is an eyesore in the middle of that lovely old cemetery. Great job as usual Kevin!!(And Hi to Joe!!).
Thank you for doing that, it's so sad to see cemeteries become overgrown and unloved over the years. Seems once the immediate family of the people buried in a cemetery move away or pass on, then there is no one left who feels the need to be sure these places are kept up. One day this will be all of us. I happen to be a cemetery nut and love to visit old ones and just wander around and read the stones. I will talk to the people as if they are right there listening. So much of our history is preserved in the info found at cemeteries and we really need to respect them and take care of them. No one much seems to have that level of respect these days. Sad really. Im not too far from this locale, in Beaumont, Tx. Less than an hour west of Louisiana on IH 10. Yet most all of our graves are in ground and not so many above ground like there. You are a good man, you will be rewarded for deeds such as this. Though I know you dont do it for that, but it comes with the territory anyway. Again, thank you and big heart hugs to you and yours. Hope you enjoyed your shrimp, they are sum kinda good, no matter how you cook them. Have a great weekend, I will check out more of your channel now. 🤠❤🙏
I also talk to them. Two of my siblings and I recently went to cemeteries where family members are buried that we had never met. Some of those family members were born as long ago as 1777! I told one such family member that he would not recognize the world we live in now.
I can understand it getting overgrown, but the disrespect comes in it becoming a trash dump. I know this area has had some bad times in the last few years, but this is a bit much. Thank you for the cleanup sir, that's epic.
I just love when somebody cleans up a graveyard is so many of them look horrible it looks great and hello Joe keep eating those shrimp they're good for you that's what keeps you so pretty
WE LOVE YOU JOE!!! A BIG thanks for the men volunteering their time to help clean up a mess of a cemetery that is their final place of rest. Good work, Kevin!! BIG ol' props to you!
My sister worked tirelessly for 20 years organizing volunteers for the proper maintenance of the cemeteries in our county in New York State. She logged every grave and compiled a searchable online database!
Lawn Care Juggernaut What a breath of fresh air you are - With all the challenges in this world today, affecting all aspects of our lives To see such care being freely given is a blessing - To bad kindness and caregiving don’t get the mainline press coverage of all the hurts and negativity against humanity and other living beings of all species garners -
I sincerely applaud you for taking care of the cemeteries, this is the 2nd clean up of a cemetery that I have watched from you. I'm somewhat puzzled why the church doesn't take care of the cemetery and put in a low fence.
Hello ! Nice patriotic job ! 🎼You're working in the the rain🎶what a glorious feeling🎵you're happy again😃 Best wishes to you, your family and Jo for 2023 🎀 Phil. Peace.
I agree about the church being right next door and no one making an effort to care. That junk pile in the middle might even be sitting on a grave, that needs to be cleaned up, but you tried, made the whole place so much better.
As usual a wonderful thing you have done .It was nice to see the local firemen coming out to help you . I hope you and your family have a happy and safe Christmas
Thank you for honoring the souls buried here in this graveyard. Through rain or shine you get the job done. Thanks to those wonderful firemen that came out and helped you. That was an awesome thing for them to do. They didn’t mind getting their hands dirty. Thanks for all you do Kevin. I hope your new year will be filled with blessings and happiness for your whole family. God bless and stay safe. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🌟🌟🌟👍👍❤️
Thank you for cleaning the grave site of our veterans. Much respect. Really warms the heart to see the fire fighters pitching in to help. Love it!! Also, Hey Joe! Looking good, sir!!❤
It is heartbreaking and disgusting that any community would allow a cemetery to be used as a dump site. No maintenance for the graves, and no respect for anyone buried in this location. The most upsetting is the veterans who fought for our freedom. My Deepest thanks to you for cleaning up this dreadful site.
Its an independent cemetery. One should not be so quick to judge especially given Louisiana has some very interesting laws regarding their cemeteries and hurricanes/floods continuously wrecking havoc on them. It seems every time they experience a bad hurricane the community has to do the best they can with whomever is left (many are forced to evacuate and relocate other parts of the country) to maintain the cemeteries until someone from the family /appointed individual can return to do it.
At first I thought it was debris from years of cleaning the graves and not hauling it away but I think it was a dump site once the top layer was removed. Construction debris. If that's the case, that's low down!
It’s watching from BC, Canada. It is 5:16 pm and just finished watching the video. I applaud you for the work you do, very thorough. I’m somewhat amazed at the city for not doing more to keep the cemetery tidy and especially not giving you more help, when you’re not even from that area. I also think the fire fighters could have helped more to remove all the debris piled there. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have to say I’m very impressed with your work. Keep it up, you make all the homes look so well cared for, others must be so impressed with your work.
Wow, that was a lot of work to get that cemetery cleaned up. It’s a shame that somebody chose the cemetery as a trash dumping ground. You did the best you could to clean it up and especially in the rain. You did a great job. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
What wasn't lost on me was the fact that the building behind your truck had lawn care equipment just sitting there. Like, what? And you, a man from an entirely different state, not only cleaned up that mess at the cost of your time and equipment, but recruited local firefighters to help. The biggest kudos to you!
Hello Gina how are you doing
34:00 when they said the line of mowers belonged to the Sheriffs department! Crazy... wonder who is supposed to do the upkeep at the cemetery.
I know the one we frequent is kept up by county workers. If this isn't a private one, shame on whoever has forgotten it. And if it IS a private one someone needs to find out who should maintain it and restore that connection and task. Seems like it might have gotten lost in the system after the flooding but time to get it back in the system again and get some workers out there regularly to keep up what he started. It's a lot easier to maintain after a big clean up like this after all.
Was there a church next door? Good weekend for young people?
I was thinking the same exact thing!
Respectful that a cemetery is a solemn and peaceful place , I was thinking maybe a few shrubs would soften it a little and maybe seats for relatives , if any , to sit and reflect our cemetery's in the UK , have trees and shrubs and it makes them so beautiful and peaceful.
Just watched the cleanup of this cemetery and being a genealogist I thought I would just add that this is the Johnson Fisher Cemetery in Port Sulfur, Louisiana. It can be found on Find A Grave and there are a few requests for photographs from this cemetery. Also, the GPS locations are missing for this cemetery. You do such a wonderful job. I would just suggest you carry a GPS locator and document the cemetery for Genealogy purposes, or report the cleanup to the local or state genealogical society so they can go and locate the cemetery properly and do a walk through. It is important to locate lost relatives. It should be the city's responsibility to take care of abandoned or neglected cemeteries.
That’s a wonderful idea.
Oh, I had no idea about this find a grave website, lots of requests for gravesites in my area, I'll see if I can help anyone 😊
Great Suggestion & Knowledge Thank You
Thank you so much for your knowledge and wisdom and for sharing this information to the communities. It's amazing how God starts at one place and brings people to an ending that will be able to close doors for them and help them to have understanding about their history and their genealogy. Great help.!
Thank you.❤
You are a hard working man! Great job!
I also saw the lawn mower company next door and the fire department across the street. You would think people would take pride in their community and respect for the departed to take a little of their time to keep it taken care of. Thank you for taking your time to give these people the respect they deserve.
You know it s odd that they would build, around those plots, seems like it is somewhat of an industrial area. Disrespectful, of the plots for sure.
I would think that area would at least be fenced off.
People pay money for these plots, some were on family land years ago, but to build all around it then actions showed no respect.
When my father died suddenly I had to go buy plots and the first thing I ask after picking them out was about if keep up was included . And for a extra one hundred it included lifetime maintenance. With gas prices soaring I have often sent money for mowing and living out of state I can say every time I’ve been down the cemetery is in beautiful condition
Kevin must sleep well at night. Not just from physical work but gaining mental peace! He has a good heart. Thanks!
I was happy to see the firemen get involved. I could see a church, a fire department, YMCA and an elementary school around that cemetery and wondered why someone didn't take it on as a community service project.
It would totally be a good project for getting Eagle Scout. Do they still do that? Are the Boy Scouts still a thing?
here in volusia county (daytona beach) fla. there are several groups that tend to older cemeterys.As a former lawn maintenece worker for an 110 acre cemetery, I get disappointed when I see unkept plots and high grass.Thanx for taking care of that small place ,It looks like a place that people drive by and not notice.
P.S. How ironic all the mowers in the background!
@@jeroldstockdaleyes my daughter’s boyfriend is an Eagle Scout. He had his ceremony yesterday. 🇺🇸
Look real close you will see subway
A man that drives past a war memorial grave yard when he’s taking his family camping and has to come back to cut it because you can’t stand to see it over grown is a good man. We need more good men like you, Al, and Ap. You 3 are 3 of the hardest working men I’ve ever seen and much of it you do for free to help others. God bless all of you and your families.
i Hi Joe
There is a church just yards away with members who could take it upon themselves, without being asked, to clean that small cemetery. Kudos to the firemen who came out and helped. They have a lot of downtime (my son-in-law is a fireman) so it was really nice of them to step in and help.
Thank you “Boring Channel” for all you do without being asked. We could use more citizens like you who don’t feel it is others’ jobs to help out.❤️
❤
Right. When I noticed the Fire Station I was wondering why they hadn’t done it themselves.
I can't believe you threw those perfectly good flowers and wreaths away. Where I'm from, we put them on the grave for a couple months and take them home to reuse them the next year.
That's what I was thinking: Fire Dept, YMCA, a school, and a business with mowers in the background and nobody took the initiative on their own. No disrespect but seriously, this is why I can't handle the lazy small town mentality where so many people have zero initiative.
@@nancyniewoehner7881 Perfectly good? They looked dirty and faded.
I have watched DOZENS of these lawn mowing videos and I must say - THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!
1. You cleaned up a forgotten and neglected cemetery
2. You did it so respectfully
3. You got firemen to help
4. You paid so much attention to detail
5. You stuck it out in the rain TWICE
6. You were so pleasant
7. THANK YOU - I thought of how often I have made the trip from FL to Michigan to care for the graves of my parents and sister - YOU stood in the place of people who buried loved ones there who probably aren’t able to care as they use to♥️♥️♥️
8. GREAT JOB!!!
I’m was born and raised in south Louisiana.. I’m 2hrs from this location. It’s terrible that theres literally a business right there with lawnmowers and no one there could take the time to cut the lawn at this cemetery. Thank you for taking care of this place. Hopefully someone will keep up with it.
33:00 I love that despite the firemen suggesting to leave that trash pile alone, you went for whatever cleanup you could manage and I think by you repeatedly stepping in to clear more trash that was motivation for them to keep helping you for at least a while (FF, 33-39). Your efforts and interest certainly are motivating for others. Another 4 guys and maybe another 4 bags would be taken away, 20 minutes of work at a time could still make another serious dent in that pile...maybe they would come back idk. Your whole day there was just amazing to watch. Good job.
It's shameful to see lawn equipment in back of the cemetery and a church next door, shame on.those supposedly Christians. I have watch alot of your videos and you are a great guy for what you do for free. along with the other guys too!!!
It looks like the grave is so sunken in that the only thing covering the hole is the trash.
That's why they told him to leave it alone, and warned him that the closest hospital is about 40 minutes away.
Amazing job
@@aliciafnewson9685 But what if some kids come along. Shouldn't something be done with it to fix if properly.
The total lack of respect for the dead by not taking care of this cemetery is disgusting, so I'm elated to see what you did with it. Fantastic job!!! I applaud you brother. I also want to thank the firefighters who helped out as well.
If the caretaker died, you're being very disrespectful to the dead
@@TheLifeOfKane
what? You don’t make any sense.
@@samueljaramillo4221 If I remember correctly in some of the videos I ran across after Katrina is that a lot of the cemeteries down in Louisiana have the responsibility of gravesites fall to the volunteers/family and after Katrina a lot did not return or were not able to. So it is plausible a caretaker could have passed away and no one else was appointed or there is no one else to do it.
Hurricanes devastated the area!
The same way you judge others, you will be judged. Do you know the circumstances as to why this cemetery is in this condition?
I will never understand why folks let cemeteries get in this shape, thank you for cleaning it up and to the guys that helped!!
I thank you for this, my family that passed (Grandparents, Aunt, Uncles, Cousin) in Pennsylvania didn't have anyone cleaning their graves. I live out of state and come back once a year. It had weeds 6 feet tall. I couple just like you spend there time and money to clean up a cemetery that they had no family in it. It's people like you that bring a little bit of sunshine into this world. God bless you, and your family.
What a kind and thoughtful cleanup. Above and beyond, that extreme junk removal. Sad the city doesn’t maintain that sacred ground better. Thank you for making those souls rest better. Thanks too for the firefighters that pitched in. A miraculous improvement.
Hello Nancy how are you doing?
You made the cemetery look great. Thank you and thank you to the fire fighters who gave you a helping hand. It looks like you had an outside shower lol.
Very nice and respectful clean up! Looks so much better. 👍👍. Shameful for a garbage mound being in the middle. 😡. Hopeful someone in the local area can find a few people to take care of the rest. On top of someone's grave? Very kind and thoughtful job. 👍👍
Great job ! You are a man of honor! I’m from La. and this city should be ashamed not taking care of this cematary! Thank you so much for all the good things you do!!
I think your kindnesses to neglected graveyards will be a blessing for you and your family. God must smile down on you when you show this kind of respect.
I've watched you do several cemetaries now. The care and respect you show while working to clean them up is admirable. Thank you for caring enough to make a difference.
Thank you for being the difference we all hope to see in the world. I was just commenting to myself, " I can't believe there's a public school, a YMCA, a fire station, and all those establishments within walking distance and this cemetery looks so awful." No sooner did I say it, the local firefighters showed up to help! Hopefully your actions will inspire others to maintain this little area.
The state of that burial ground tells you everything you need to know about the people of South Plaquemines, Louisiana, I suppose.
@@GBooth As in mostly poor, underserved, and trying to get by as best they can?
@@stevena3446 literally a church , ymca and a fire department non of which are poor and barely making it by.
@@teeandkids937 I’m just saying we often make judgement calls based upon personal observations without knowing the actual details. I include myself in this. Do you really know that that YMCA, church, fire department are not struggling financially? Is it their responsibility to maintain the cemetery? Have they tried getting volunteers to maintain it and nobody came forward? It’s easy to point fingers and say “they should take care of it.”
Thank you so much FIRMEN for helping Juggernaut clean up this cemetery. It's beyond me how family's could let their loved ones graves get so bad.may these rest in peace.
So proud of you taking the time to stop and do this . I challenge all the clean up crews like you to do a cemetery some weekend instead of a house. All of our Americans deserve this. God bless.
I enjoyed watching this one. Thanks to the firemen that helped. Cleaning cemeteries is a respectful thing to do.
As a veteran I thank you for your understanding and respect for the cemetery
Your parents certainly raised you to be a man of Honor. I thank you.
You've done an honorable job cleaning this little Cematery
This gentleman, and the fireman, done a wonderful job of doing this cemetery. Thank you very much to all that were involved in straightening up this cemetery. Avoid all the negative comments
CEMETERY
Yikes, when I first read the comment I saw Horrible job and was ready. All good, and calm again
Such a shame to leave a cemetery in such bad shape. Thank you for this clean up!
@@Jo-vf7qi Man, really? Breathe in deep, hold it for a count of four and slowly breathe out. Life will get better.
This was so respectful of you to clear off this cemetery. Also, the firemen are awesome for helping you clean it up. Thank you!!
the firemen were across from it for awhile tho
@@Phisherman86 I understand that. At least they took some of their time to help. It’s definitely better than not helping at all.
OMG, how can people look at themselves in the mirror, knowing they dumped their trash bags on war veterans graves. You know who you were, shame,the same people who fought for your freedom gets disrespected like this. City should put out reward for turning them in. Jail or probation, with conditions of supervised clean up and one year continued maintenance or return to jail. You are a saint for doing this
@@Phisherman86, also there is a church right close by and they HAVE to see that mess every time they meet. Too Heavenly minded to be of any earthly good?
@The Mouse Files but they wouldn't have taken the time if someone wasn't already cleaning it up.
Well done, as always, Kevin! I'm amazed at your high tolerance for working through uncomfortable conditions! Drenched, muddy, sweaty, ants, wet feet, you just keep on working and no cutting the job short! Kudos!
So much admiration for your devotion to helping those in need and showing so much respect to clean an old cemetery that had been trashed and neglected. And you had to deal with Louisiana rain, too! God is smiling on you! 😇
Just melts my heart to see that there is people out there like yourself taking care of the Forgotten Cemeteries/ Graveyards. Great job.
how disrespectful to just throw a bunch of garbage where people are laid to rest. And letting the grass get so bad. pathetic. Thank you for being a decent person and cleaning this up. good man.
Bless you for doing the cemeteries, Kevin! It shows respect and appreciation for those who came before. Thanks to the firemen who helped out! And hi to viewer Joe who gave you the shrimp! Blessings to you both!
I sincerely thank you for cleaning up old cemetaries. I did want to ask you tho why did you pull the flowers? Some looked still good to leave on the graves? Again thank you
I forgot to add, theres the sheriffs dept and fire dept and another business right there and they dont have the ooomph to mow it and keep it nice themselves?? Sad.....very sad
I think it’s remarkable that you took it upon yourself to clean up the cemetery in respect for those who are laid to rest there. Though they may be forgotten, they should still be respected and you did that and inspired the firefighters to do the same. I hope people who visit that site will take a little bit of that trash away every time they visit. What probably took years to accumulate, can be removed each time to restore dignity to whatever is underneath the pile. Kudos to you and kudos to the firefighters! Great job, men!
A while back, I worked cleaning a company's building. The one woman in HR was there all the time, taking care of paperwork and whatnot that needed to be done for
workers to get their claims filed for Covid. It put a strain on her home life and we talked about how hard it was for her. Her words always stuck with me. "Somebody
has to care". It is the same with you and doing this project. Somebody has to care and that somebody is you. You get others to care too... same as that woman in HR.
Thank you for caring. It's the first step in making a difference.
This is my favourite of your videos thus far because 1) it honors the dead; and 2) the local firefighters came out to help, showing community spirit. I do wonder what happened with the person(s) responsible for maintaining this site. How could they let it get so bad? As for the stones themselves, they are not in good shape and need more care. I know this is beyond what you do, but someone should pain them and repair them. Lastly, I am impressed with your dedication, doing this in the rain, humid heat, with fire ants, dealing with garbage, etc. Good job!
Well, this is Saturday, April 22, 2023 and I found your video of you working on a unknown cemetery doing such a nice job. I have done genealogy for years and traipsing through cemeteries for research but the kindness that you have shown here was remarkable, especially since there seems to be a riding lawnmower, place right behind you - seems odd that they wouldn’t address this. So thank you for your kindness and respect.
Hey I found Crazy Patrick on TH-cam in New Mexico. He’s got a few cemetery videos asking for help on one. Awesome people out there. Thank you
Maybe this will shame them into it!
So sad to see a little cemetery in such an awful condition. Bless you for restoring it to some form of normality. It broke my heart when I saw all that debris just dumped on hallowed ground, you are one amazing man.❤
Extremely common in the south.
Thank you for cleaning this little cemetery. I used to live near there in Buras, but I haven’t been back since Katrina. That whole area was underwater for weeks so those grave markers survived a lot.
I know they really didn’t have their heart in it at first, but I am proud of them stepping up and helping out!
I think they felt embarrassed watching Kevin work so hard voluntarily. Whatever the reason, I'm glad they stepped up to clear and bag the worst of the debris. Great job, Kevin!! You are a good human💜
I think the firemen waited. Hoping He’s almost done hoping they wouldn’t have to come out lol but in the end they did because I think you made him feel bad that you were working so hard on a town graveyard that you don’t even live near. Thank you for having so much respect for the graveyard.
All right, yes I’m going to comment again. I am from a small town in Louisiana not a great distance from the place he’s at. And I will say we have more respect for our ancestors. The people had passed on. I will graveyards we keep up and that one is so small. Why has it gone so far? and the people that are riding by and just looking on it’s not like he’s been there just 10 minutes. Where is the pride in this town? It’s just mind-boggling. Watching him in this video. The lack of care in this town. I’m sorry I will not be coming in again. I just cannot believe what I’m seeing. thank you Kevin for showing most respect and care and the people that live there and walk by it day by day. And that trash pile the things he was pulling out shows people were throwing stuff there. There’s got to be a way they can clean that pile out of that grave yard there’s no reason for it except lazy . I’m sorry I should not be so disrespectful. I don’t know the people but I just feel bad for the lack of respect to the people in the graves. I’m sorry to anyone that lives in that town that I’ve showed any disrespect to.
I've never seen a cemetery like that. Big plots of concrete.
You do the kindest projects.
You're the man.
Safest thing ever!! Who would put trash piles like that in a cemetery? Kevin, you're awesome! Brought tears to my eyes.
Another amazing transformation Kevin!!! I have so much respect for u as a person as well as for the service u provide to someone in need. U have so much respect and have the hugest, most caring heart. U take pride in any transformation u do. U, ur dad, Al & AP need to go on a tour together for u all care about other's needs.
This is one of ur best videos showing the respect, care, precision cutting and the best final touches. Most just cut tall grass down and leave it to look just as bad.
I've had 6 back surgeries that now limit my lifting, but i can still use my zero turn and weed eater. Please take care of ur back for when it goes, it's never the same again. Just last year I was mowing 3 yards, and now this year I'm down to just half of my yard due to a very steep hill. I did just buy a new Toro self propelled mower for the hill, but I walk very far due to not having full use of my right leg.
A big thank u to the firefighters who helped u out a little. Thank u Joe for blessing u with some fresh shrimp after a long day. U made his day by getting in touch with him and going by his place.
May God always watch over u while ur working and away from home. May He continue to Bless u and ur family.
Sending much respect and fan love for u and ur beautiful family from Rush Springs, Oklahoma ❤❤
A huge shout out to the firefighters. They showed just what they should do help the community. From one firefighter to another you made me proud.
That poor cemetery definitely needed your personal touch. Happy to see the firemen helping you out.
Thankyou Kevin for cleaning up this cemetery. It had me crying for the poor souls that are buried there. I just can't get over the fact that the city officials let it go that way and the dump pile was pathetic on their part. Thank you also for you fireman that helped our Kevin out with the clean up. Hi Joe good to meet you. Blessing to all of you
I think this kind act is a reminder. That one person can pitch in and help. Another person can pressure wash the head stones, and another person can bring flowers etc.
I really appreciate you doing all of that back breaking work for those folks. A lot of times there isn't any family left to clean these graves. Thank you
I am not familiar with fire ants so how would a person get rid of them?
Thank you for cleaning up this cemetery. It's so sad that those who live in this town did not take care of the final resting place for their citizens. The sextons in Northern Michigan who are responsible for our cemeteries do a fine job in keeping them clean. The boy scout troops keep the cemeteries mowed. The VFW puts flags on veteran's graves. Thank you again!💖
I appreciate how precision and neat your clean-ups are. You’re not sloppy and you don’t leave it sloppy like some other lawn care people do on TH-cam. I like how you keep going over the grass until most everything is nothing but dust and dirt. I know that’s extra gas and effort but it makes all the difference in the final job. Even when you’re exhausted you still try to do it all right/correctly. Not half assed or sloppy.
As a proud Taphophile, I wholeheartedly encourage you to help more graveyards!! Bless you and all that you do!!
I didn't even know there was a word for that. I guess I could classify myself as one. Just wait until you see the ones I have picked out for the spring
I had to Google it myself 😂👍
You taught me something today Jacqueline Cyr. I have enjoyed walking graveyards and reading the headstones for a long time. I especially enjoyed the very old cemeteries in Cades Cove, Sevierville Tennessee. I did not know there was actually a word for people like us. Thank you for teaching me a new word today. I too am a taphophile. ☺️. Karen Gossett, I had to Google it as well!🤣🤣🤣
That's a very québécoise name you got there! Am I wrong?
It rain because the souls there thanking you and giving you blessings ❤❤❤❤❤
You make weed-eating look so easy when I know from experience it's not! You are an artist my friend.
This is why we love your channels so much…when you decide to do a job nothing will stop you from getting it done. Those had to be the most miserable working conditions ever! What a great job you did! Thanks to the firemen for helping out. ❤
There's a lot wrong with this picture. I have issues with the fact that the cemetery is in such a public area. Possibly, the city was built up around the cemetery, but then factor in the total lack of care and respect for those buried there. Great job, Kevin! It is awesome that you care and "DO" the work that needed to be done because no one else did! Thank you for your heart! ❤️
Ya there is not much land there. It's a very narrow strip of land with levees on both sides. Some areas were only about a football field wide. It is one of the oddest places I have ever been. I honestly felt very claustrophobic knowing that I was inside of a bowl of water. I was there for 2 or 3 days and it rained almost non stop😬🤣 Joe gave me the tour and showed me the massive pumps that the country uses to constantly pump water out of the area.
Honestly people that live on the coast are just a bit crazy 🤪 hurricanes and flooding all of the time and they keep going back but then again they say the same thing about us and tornadoes 🌪 🤣🤣
@@TheBoringChannelLawnCare you're fine, my entire country is inside a bowl of water, we love it.
Many moons ago that cemetary must have been on the outskirts of the town. Towns develop so I can easily understand it's sort of next to a house. We don't know the history of that town. Just saying.
Also, I lost my dad 60 years ago and I moved away from Namibia to Cape Town.. I've only been back twice to visit. I know years ago. The cemetary in Windhoek in Namibia was classified the tidiest in the world. Don't know if its still today.
My guess is that as the city grew, the family wouldn't agree to move the graves when all the rest of the cemetery sold out. I've seen this in a couple of other videos on channels that focus on cleaning tombstones or touring cemeteries.
@@TheBoringChannelLawnCare does weed whacking cause pain in your back? If so stop at the nearest mall or truck stop and for $1 you get three minutes in the massage chair. I highly recommend this! While you're doing that bring a fat roast beef sandwich to celebrate all your hard work.
You can see how the local people are appreciating your work. Respect…💗💗👍👍👍👍👍
Just love the way you have helped the community, the people that dumped their rubbish in that cemetery should be ashamed. Respect from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺👍
The trash could've been accumulated from flooding from hurricanes.
@@Gutslinger the rubbish has accumulated in that one spot?
He has done a wonderful job.
Hello from The Gold Coast Qld..🌻
@@jaggirl Could've... See trash accumulate in random concentrated spots above riverbanks sometimes, due to floods and stuff.
@Jag Girl it might be a low spot. Google hurricane Katrina August 2005 😭 it devastated Louisiana. They get lots of torrential rain and flooding.
After a few years of watching your videos I'm still amazed at your willingness to do what you do out of the kindness of your heart. I pray the surrounding community will take up the sword and keep this burial place as nice as you have made it. Great work Juggernaut!
Keep finding these gems that have been neglected n forgotten, with u doing these acts of kindness, maybe this will teach others to remember n respect each other, thanks kevin
This whole team effort is beautiful to see and inspiring. Thank you all for your kindness and care for the deceased.
The words gone but never forgotten are found on many headstones. These people laid at rest in this cemetery were unfortunately long forgotten, and it's heartbreaking. Thank you for what you did and continue to do. Thank you for making a difference and being a positive influence in this dark world. Matt. 5 :14-16
Looks like theres some flowers and things there. Now that its clipped up, maybe it will be easier for older folks to come and visit the graveside. Its hard to get in with all that tall grass
Perhaps everyone that cared, are long gone now. Apart from it being a place for them to rest. It's more of a place for family and friends to pay their respects. Don't forget these areas have had some terrible, natural disasters over the years. Their souls have long departed this world.🌻
I, too, am appalled at people's total disregard for a cemetery, what it means to those buried there as well as survivors! I understand these plots contain remains of war veterans, which is all the more important to respect accordingly. Such a heartfelt, but seemingly thankless effort you've done for these heroes, and kudos to the firemen who helped with the clean-up! God bless you many times over for your heart being where it is! You should feel proud of yourself, and pride is understandingly kept quiet😊 Thank you once again for doing the right thing and a big thank you to the firemen who helped clean up the mess dumped on someone's crypt! They are now in a peaceful, respectful place of rest.❤❤❤
Great points. I had issues with it being next to a sheriff building and across from an elementary school and the fire department. What kind of message about respect does that send to the kids who walk past everyday as they grow up.
It just knocks me out to witness your generosity in time and effort, sweat and muscle. Not to mention the expense. I hope people in the areas you've served will pick up where you left off and provide the care these places deserve.
Why would this town let a cemetery get so bad? Where I live things are well taken care of. Thanks for helping clean up this area.
All this work you have been doing on random cemeteries is quite a wonderful. thank you.
Thank you! My heart cries every time I go to the cemetery where my dad is. I take clippers, jug of water, rags and trash bags whenever I visit home. You are making a change in this ugly world, and we appreciate it.
Your energy, dedication, fortitude to your task is above and beyond gratitude. Your kindness and respect for those who have passed so appreciated. The rain storm was the cleansing of the grave stones. How amazing you caught the notice of the fire chief and their help with the trash. You are a saint!
So thankful to you for cleaning up the cemetery. And a special shout out to the Fire Fighters for their help! The town needs to find an organization to maintain the cemetery now!!
Cool to see the Fire Dept. getting involved! Maybe a local contractor could step up & clean out that pile. Who knows, there may be someone under there. Since you did most of the hard work, maybe a landscaper there could give something back to their community by taking over & just maintaining it?
Wow. That was absolutely brilliant.
Congratulations.
I don’t have an award for you, but that was the best thing I’ve watched on my television in years.
I actually cried.
I was flipping between you and another American and his sons and then an Australian guy all day, because I found it helpful to have my headphones on so that I could feel that you guys were working so hard lawnmowing and I needed to pull my weight. I did a lot of cooking and cleaning.
I was about to go to bed and this video popped up and it piqued my interest because I take my dog for a run to our town cemetery each day. The grass is mown short or non existent because it is in a big paddock on the edge of the bush. The dog can’t get grass seeds stuck in her and it is very quiet and pleasant. I just drive the roads between the graves and she runs and she has a few swims in a little dam in the paddock next door. I watch the swallows swoop over the dam catching insects and the family of Superb Fairy Wrens hopping around in the short native grass. It is the loveliest time of the day.
When you gathered up all those old plastic flowers I was wishing that I was game to do that too, because they are awful things.
One only needs to sit quietly in nature to see the beauty and serenity at a cemetery. I only lay natural things on “the ancestors” (😂) graves. Pomegranates, daffodils, rosemary, roses and other flowers all have special meaning to them and me.
I’m Australian and I have definitely had a dose of culture shock through your channel.
I’m pretty proud to think that that would not happen here.
Now I understand you so much better, because although that attitude exists everywhere I didn’t think that Americans would be so selfish as to not mow their neighbour’s nature strip especially men in service as such. Yet it exists here in Australia too. I’m not accustomed to it where I live. Most people would mow two or three houses down if needs be.
Anyway fantastic video. Very, very powerful and the sea level stuff was fascinating. There was a barge going through at the start of the video and my eyes were 😳.
ps. The placement of the camera and those fireman sitting on those lawnmowers, with you working in the rain was absolutely cinematic genius, if it had not been actually happening.
This man deserves the key to the city.. at least a special mention on their local paper. Wow! I almost missed the end… thank you for visiting the elderly or home bound.. many of the tombstones and old cemetery go neglected especially after Katrina when most people were forced to leave… thanks again for your caring…
I want to thank you and the firemen for cleaning the cemetery. Showing respect to people that have passed through before us. god is smiling down on the four of you.
I’ve now watched 3 of your cemetery cleanups Kevin and you are a credit to fellow humanity.
I’m astounded that these towns let there cemetery get like this it shows no respect or pride in the place you live in or the people buried there.
Correct me if I’m wrong fellow Aussies but I’ve never seen anything like this in Australia.
I love that you were in Louisiana! So sad you had to clean up a neglected grave yard. I, too, hate that there are piles of trash. I expect more from my people, my home state. May God continue to bless your work.
Watching from Suffolk UK, loved this video. The fact that you gave your time to clean up an overgrown cemetary shows us all just how kind you are. Good Luck to you in 2023.
Watching you clean up this graveside brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for caring so much that you took this upon yourself to clean it up. It is sad that those who used this burial spot don’t keep it up. Whether it is a city or business. God Bless you and all that you do. Most of all thank your wife and family to support you in doing this. ❤ you for all that you do.
If my family/friends were buried there I would be so thankful for your time. You're an awesome human to travel to all of these places and help the communities. Your family and you are an inspiration for us to keep giving to our own.
Just when I think I’m losing hope in humanity I see this video. I’m so impressed by your compassion. How wonderful was that! Those firefighters coming in to help as well….wow. God bless you all.
It looks great, lots of rain and Thanks to the local firemen that helped out. Very thoughtfully of them. Praying always.
So Happy you cleaned this C3metary seems so many are of taken are of after so many years
The cemetery looks 100% better thanks to you. And the firemen. Too bad you couldn’t have completely gotten rid of that trash heap. It really is an eyesore in the middle of that lovely old cemetery. Great job as usual Kevin!!(And Hi to Joe!!).
You honor those that have passed. God bless you.
Thank you for doing that, it's so sad to see cemeteries become overgrown and unloved over the years. Seems once the immediate family of the people buried in a cemetery move away or pass on, then there is no one left who feels the need to be sure these places are kept up. One day this will be all of us. I happen to be a cemetery nut and love to visit old ones and just wander around and read the stones. I will talk to the people as if they are right there listening. So much of our history is preserved in the info found at cemeteries and we really need to respect them and take care of them. No one much seems to have that level of respect these days. Sad really. Im not too far from this locale, in Beaumont, Tx. Less than an hour west of Louisiana on IH 10. Yet most all of our graves are in ground and not so many above ground like there.
You are a good man, you will be rewarded for deeds such as this. Though I know you dont do it for that, but it comes with the territory anyway. Again, thank you and big heart hugs to you and yours. Hope you enjoyed your shrimp, they are sum kinda good, no matter how you cook them. Have a great weekend, I will check out more of your channel now. 🤠❤🙏
I also talk to them. Two of my siblings and I recently went to cemeteries where family members are buried that we had never met. Some of those family members were born as long ago as 1777! I told one such family member that he would not recognize the world we live in now.
I can understand it getting overgrown, but the disrespect comes in it becoming a trash dump. I know this area has had some bad times in the last few years, but this is a bit much.
Thank you for the cleanup sir, that's epic.
God bless you man. It’s a shame just off in the background you can see lawn equipment and a cemetery sits in ruins right in front of them 😢
I just love when somebody cleans up a graveyard is so many of them look horrible it looks great and hello Joe keep eating those shrimp they're good for you that's what keeps you so pretty
The world needs more good, kind, God loving people in this world like you and the rest of your family! Awesome job Kevin! 🥰 Hi Joe!
Thank you to the firemen for stepping up to help. My husband is retired after 48 years.
WE LOVE YOU JOE!!! A BIG thanks for the men volunteering their time to help clean up a mess of a cemetery that is their final place of rest. Good work, Kevin!! BIG ol' props to you!
My sister worked tirelessly for 20 years organizing volunteers for the proper maintenance of the cemeteries in our county in New York State.
She logged every grave and compiled a searchable online database!
Lawn Care Juggernaut What a breath of fresh air you are - With all the challenges in this world today, affecting all aspects of our lives
To see such care being freely given is a blessing -
To bad kindness and caregiving don’t get the mainline press coverage of all the
hurts and negativity
against humanity and other living beings of all species garners -
I sincerely applaud you for taking care of the cemeteries, this is the 2nd clean up of a cemetery that I have watched from you. I'm somewhat puzzled why the church doesn't take care of the cemetery and put in a low fence.
Hello !
Nice patriotic job ! 🎼You're working in the the rain🎶what a glorious feeling🎵you're happy again😃
Best wishes to you, your family and Jo for 2023 🎀
Phil. Peace.
I agree about the church being right next door and no one making an effort to care. That junk pile in the middle might even be sitting on a grave, that needs to be cleaned up, but you tried, made the whole place so much better.
I haven't watched your channel in some time, I forgot how much I enjoyed watching your work. You're worthy of RESPECT my friend!
As usual a wonderful thing you have done .It was nice to see the local firemen coming out to help you . I hope you and your family have a happy and safe Christmas
Priceless example to the town.💚💚💚 Thank you for showing in a positive fashion respect for loved ones families.
Thank you for honoring the souls buried here in this graveyard. Through rain or shine you get the job done. Thanks to those
wonderful firemen that came out and helped you. That was an awesome thing for them to do. They didn’t mind getting their hands dirty. Thanks for all you do Kevin. I hope your new year will be filled with blessings and happiness for your whole family. God bless and stay safe. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🌟🌟🌟👍👍❤️
Thank you for cleaning the grave site of our veterans. Much respect. Really warms the heart to see the fire fighters pitching in to help. Love it!! Also, Hey Joe! Looking good, sir!!❤
Dude, you’re now one of my favorite people - the world needs more of this! 💚✌️
It is heartbreaking and disgusting that any community would allow a cemetery to be used as a dump site. No maintenance for the graves, and no respect for anyone buried in this location. The most upsetting is the veterans who fought for our freedom. My Deepest thanks to you for cleaning up this dreadful site.
Its an independent cemetery. One should not be so quick to judge especially given Louisiana has some very interesting laws regarding their cemeteries and hurricanes/floods continuously wrecking havoc on them. It seems every time they experience a bad hurricane the community has to do the best they can with whomever is left (many are forced to evacuate and relocate other parts of the country) to maintain the cemeteries until someone from the family /appointed individual can return to do it.
Just what I was thinking.
@@ejais there’s a church , ymca and the fire department, there’s no reason why this cemetery should be in this state :/
@@teeandkids937 its an independent cemetery and does not fall under Port Sulfur jurisdiction.
At first I thought it was debris from years of cleaning the graves and not hauling it away but I think it was a dump site once the top layer was removed. Construction debris. If that's the case, that's low down!
It seems ironic that Kevin is mowing a cemetery where a lot of orange lawn mowers are neatly lined up in the background! Great job, Kevin!😅
It’s watching from BC, Canada. It is 5:16 pm and just finished watching the video. I applaud you for the work you do, very thorough. I’m somewhat amazed at the city for not doing more to keep the cemetery tidy and especially not giving you more help, when you’re not even from that area. I also think the fire fighters could have helped more to remove all the debris piled there. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have to say I’m very impressed with your work. Keep it up, you make all the homes look so well cared for, others must be so impressed with your work.
So sad to see so much disrespect for a cemetery. Thank you and the firemen who came to help tidy up . God bless you all. ❤🇬🇧
Wow, that was a lot of work to get that cemetery cleaned up. It’s a shame that somebody chose the cemetery as a trash dumping ground. You did the best you could to clean it up and especially in the rain. You did a great job. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
