- As part of our continuing series "On The Road," Steve Hartman revisits Woody Davis of Corbett, Oregon, who touched his local community with his generosity. Residents were able to return the favor during Davis' final months as he battled Lou Gehrig's disease.
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
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
Money is just temporary... Goodwill is permanent! That is till the people are courteous enough to remember that!
Man, I haven't cried in a long time.
Rest in Peace Woody Davis.
“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.
What a legacy. He cashed out with a high score.
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. :)
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!
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.
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
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!
Man lived fulfilled life.
Wealth isn't your bank balance..it's the hearts that are filled with you.
Beautifully said. Thank you
I like Steve Hartman and his OnTheRoad segments. I do not see how he does not cry. I bawl like a baby sometimes.
This Steve Hartman clip is one of my favorites.
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
I can’t even put in to words the heart ache i felt at the end of this video. What a true humble man 💙
Here, more than ever, I need to know who could give this a thumbs down. Just can't fathom.
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.
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
This man reminds me of my grandpa I miss him
Its too early for me to be crying so hard.. This makes me miss my dad so much.. All that love..
Aww I forgot I commented on this.. I still missing daddy. And this video is still so sweet
Such a sweet man...👋loved by many...
Oh my goodness. What an awesome guy.
God Bless this man & his family ❤
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.
I'm cry so badly watching this, so awesome man 😭
What a well lived life. 😔🙏 RIP!
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.
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.
This story warms my heart
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.
God Bless you Woody Davis!!! God knows YOU Sir!!!!
WHAT A WONDERFUL, TOUCHING VIDEO - BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for putting together this story just right.
I don't know how often I watch this video but I cry my eyes out every time.
Awww. 🥲 May he RIP. So sweet his family and him to share in their love with the community.
Seems like a beautiful man and soul. 💕🙏RIP
Don’t know how many locals from Byram and Stanhope will see this, but this story reminds me of Waving Willie. Always waving to everyone.
What an amazing man!
"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby"
How true that is.
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.
Very sad but beautiful
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❤ ❤❤
omg... so true about the dying slowly thing. it hurts not being able to share how much someone meant before they go. wow.
Thank You Steve!
Wonderful story!
😢❤️😢❤️😢
Salute to this legend!
Corbett sounds a great place to live nice people.
I cant control my tears......
I feel blessed just to had seen his story.. 👋👋👋... Rest in peace..
I'm a sobbing mess😣😫😭😭
What an incredible man...and town...
An awesome life still touching others in 2019.
I am just picturing he was waving to God and ran up to him for a welcome home hug.
Beautiful is all that needs to be said.
This made me cry...How touching...RIP Woody :(
Truely beautiful to see love shiny and bright through a whole community....lets spread it world wide ;)
That's very sad news hes in a better place right now
Little bit kindness goes along way. Start with little.
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 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 wish we had more news like this!
God bless you & keep you, sir.
I just knew this great man after 8 years he passed, I am really touching about this pure and unbelievable kindness, with love and respect, R.I.P
There is a special place in heaven for people like this.
What way to go !!!!🙏😊😇
He's such a blessing, indeed ! 💘♥️
Always makes me cry
This story brings tears to a man's eyes that never cries
So inspirational....

Oh wow. I just watched this & the town made him his casket. He got to see what everyone wrote & how he was lived. Great tribute.
It's men like this who embody the true American spirit😊
What Woody meant to all those people just can't be bought, so Woody was in fact a Very Rich man. Cheers All
What a nice man. I hear my uncle had a similar big funeral like that in the town he's from. I regret not going myself
I want to pay my respect, too
Such an amazing human being, this made me cry.

Tears on this one for sure. What an incredible, heartfelt story of a truly remarkable man and the community who cared right back.
Thats so bittersweet
OMG... :'( I am so late seeing this but I'm so happy I did! ;')
What an awesome guy and what wonderful people.
R.I.P. Woody Godspeed!
A life well spent. I'd make my family go. we can learn a lot from his attitude
Love this story
so inspiring, i want to be a kind person like him.. but i have anger issues
Wihl Zhini I can relate to you my good sir. Being a bipolar type 2 patient, I also have emotional distractions from committing acts of kindness. the method I have found to combat this, is using the acts of kindness you do reach put and do, treat as a justification to keep living. it will spark a need and addiction to kindness, That feels so necessary, it will be even harder to ignore than your anger. All it takes is the first step.
Same I also have anger issues including autism
Truly a rich man.
