This is a man that every one will miss, I have known him my whole life, since I was born and till the day of his passing. I lived just in front of his home and he did so much for all of us i will never forget. He is my true Hero.
What a beautiful story. I struggled not to cry. I lost! 700 people! What a blessing! So sweet the family got to feel the love from the community before it was too late. I always say “if you can’t be bothered bringing me flowers while I’m alive and can enjoy them, don’t bother putting them on my grave after I’m gone and can’t see them. Then you’re just buying them for you!” Thank you Steve! Great story!
it is men like this, that will always be remembered, and that makes life a little easier to live for us who is having a hard time.. :) may his soul forever find peace
A wonderful man who learned just how much he meant to everyone in town. What a legacy to have and still have the chance to let it fill your heart while you yet live.
Every time I watch these stores a huge load of cut onions suddenly appears out of no where! What's up with these tears trying to make rivers? I hate it but I love it! Jesus wept!
I really enjoy watching Steve's stories. I call them ''HAPPY STORIES'' and I think we need to hear more. They touch you, they move you and they might put a tear in your eye and I think those are the kind of stories we need to hear.
This kind of story tells you _exactly_ what you should do every day. Tell those who matter to you what they mean to you, and why you feel that way, *_before_* another sun sets... for a new day may not come for one of you. Regret is a bitter pill to swallow-- especially when you have just been shown the impact with this story alone what that impact means to the person. Don't wait until they are told they are dying, don't wait for anything. Do it now. You may think that they already know... I would bet you that they do *_not._* Everything that happens after a person is gone is just for the people left behind. Nothing meaningful for the one who is gone at that time. That is why you must do it _before_ they are gone. If you waste a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a month... that person will never have known the truth of how you felt about them, and everything that you appreciated about them (it is foolish to even think this way). This does not mean just the ill, or the very old. This means everyone that you have gratitude and love for, and why. ~Peace!
What a lovely story, it makes me believe in humanity, so good to see the recognition of his good acts by the community in which he lived. Send all respects from Brazil for this wonderful exemple of life.
I found this video deeply moving. I personally have seen people with disabilities that have made it impossible for them to perform daily tasks. The love the people had for this immensely wonderful person, was beautiful to see.
Corbett is a very special place. If you’re driving east on I-84 out of Portland, take the time to get off the interstate and drive through Corbett. Better still, stop at the little market and get a bite to eat.

This is so hard to watch my aunt carol passed so fast from als she put up such a good fight it was hard for her to let me see her and it was hard for me to see her but that last visit when I saw her I knew it would’ve my last she passed two days after seeing her she was at peace knowing I loved her so much that I even got a tattoo for her a promise to see her again it doesn’t matter that I only knew her for about two years she was my whole world and I was hers she taught me so much with out even saying a word but through her eyes and actions she always called me beautiful and because of that I learned what self confidence is and no one will ever take that away from me
WOW! what a wonderful story, sad yet wonderful. We literally have the identical samething going on here in our small town of council grove ks, the towns furniture seller and a great handyman passed suddenly of a heart attack this past friday, the entire community enjoyed this man as much as the community loved the kind man in this video. Folks, be kind to one another, it genuinely makes a difference.
Wow. What a person he had a lot of heart and wisdom. He clearly knew what mattered in life and in dying/death. Its beautiful he died knowing how much he was loved in return❤ ❤❤
RIP Woody. THIS is a REAL human being, THIS IS when humanity is at its best. I could care less about RICH People, I could care less about POLITICIANS, I could care less about the MEDIA, I could care less about the CHURCH. Everything that the Church teaches is BUNK, unless you put it into use. What IS important is what he did when he was alive, what he accomplished in his community, the impact he had, and the way people responded to him. RIP Woody. A true Angel on EARTH.
Wow that was truly sad and I pray that his family finds peace in the fact that before he left this earth the people he touched in life had the chance to actually show him how much they cared for him . so so sweet I don't know what to say but may the most high yahawah take care of him and rap him in his arms amen
“I feel blessed I’m dying slowly.” What an attitude. What a way to put a silver lining on the darkest of clouds.
He saw death and went with him as old friends.
Now THIS...is a video that should have 100 million views.
People are to worried about the Drama of youtubers.
St Hr amen
That's to little it should have more that 100million
Absolutely 💯
This is a man that every one will miss, I have known him my whole life, since I was born and till the day of his passing. I lived just in front of his home and he did so much for all of us i will never forget. He is my true Hero.
You were blessed
💞
That's awesome sorry for your loss
I am just picturing he was waving to God and ran up to him for a welcome home hug.
Rest in Peace Woody Davis.
Man, I haven't cried in a long time.
Money is just temporary... Goodwill is permanent! That is till the people are courteous enough to remember that!
Guys like that don’t come around very often, a true servant to God and people. Job well done.
Man lived fulfilled life.
Very sad but beautiful
What a legacy. He cashed out with a high score.
WHAT A WONDERFUL, TOUCHING VIDEO - BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wealth isn't your bank balance..it's the hearts that are filled with you.
Beautifully said. Thank you
I guess I just don't understand why these wonderful stories don't have more views. People just don't know what they're missing. :)
What a beautiful human being, if everyone could strive to be a little more like this individual, the world would be an amazing place to live in.
it is men like this, that will always be remembered, and that makes life a little easier to live for us who is having a hard time.. :) may his soul forever find peace

This Steve Hartman clip is one of my favorites.
Every time I watch these stores a huge load of cut onions suddenly appears out of no where! What's up with these tears trying to make rivers? I hate it but I love it! Jesus wept!
There is a special place in heaven for people like this.
I can’t even put in to words the heart ache i felt at the end of this video. What a true humble man 💙
Oh my goodness. What an awesome guy.
I like Steve Hartman and his OnTheRoad segments. I do not see how he does not cry. I bawl like a baby sometimes.
I'm cry so badly watching this, so awesome man 😭
I really enjoy watching Steve's stories. I call them ''HAPPY STORIES'' and I think we need to hear more. They touch you, they move you and they might put a tear in your eye and I think those are the kind of stories we need to hear.
Me too. They put faith in kindness, love & gratitude back into my heart. ❤
This made me cry, God Bless him and all those who returned the love.
Thank you for putting together this story just right.
This is so beautiful

Such a sweet man...👋loved by many...

I don't know how often I watch this video but I cry my eyes out every time.
God Bless you Woody Davis!!! God knows YOU Sir!!!!
This story warms my heart
My heart hurt when he cried at the box imagine knowing your going to be in that box in a weeks time that would be devastating
whos cutting those damn onions. This is so sad. But yet so happy that he was able to see people help him in his final days.
God Bless this man & his family ❤
This man reminds me of my grandpa I miss him
Corbett is a very special place. If you’re driving east on I-84 out of Portland, take the time to get off the interstate and drive through Corbett. Better still, stop at the little market and get a bite to eat.
Respect 💯💪👊👊
That has to be the most dignified casket I've ever seen. And carrying him to the cemetery in the wagon? You couldn't have honored a king any better.
What a man!!! Rest in peace. I wish there were more stories like this on TH-cam and in our news. Makes you proud to be an American.
What an amazing man!
Steve Hartman, Charles Kuralt would be very proud of you.
Smiles....That is a wonderful compliment indeed!
I would like to think that Charles 'is' proud of him. Either way you are right.
Thank You Steve!
Wonderful story!
😢❤️😢❤️😢

How true that is.
Here, more than ever, I need to know who could give this a thumbs down. Just can't fathom.
This story brings tears to a man's eyes that never cries
