I’m very sorry for your loss. May God bless and bring peace to you and your family.❤
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please pass on all of our condolences.
I am so very sorry for your family's loss; I will continue to keep you all in my prayers as you all work through this sad time.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family ❤️
Sorry for your loss. Memory eternal
Dave Sparks is such a great human constantly putting him self in position to help out people who desperately need help leading by example of what we should all inspire to be to make life on this planet a little bit more bearable always thinking about others and nature he is truly a angel amongst us thanks to him and all his guys

Agreed very good people 👍 not many left on this world
All for the content. Content is also how he is able to help so much. Kinda goes hand in hand
Would they do it without recording it though, content is king 1st and foremost to all these people
@@KryptsCorner Would they be able to do it without recording?
This video made me cry. When Cindy said she misses him and every time she turned around she felt he'd be there. I know how she feels as I lost my wife of 40 years last February. I'm still a wreck. You guys did one heck of a great thing for that family.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss stay strong
I’m sorry sorry for your loss. I lost my husband last February. We were married for 43 years and I also look for him around every corner. Can’t say enough about Heavy D and his crew. Great guys!
When my mum died 12 years ago, I had dreams / nightmares (depending on your point of view) that she was still alive for months. Every time I woke up was like having it all happen again.
I still have dreams about her coming back to life once in a while, but they aren’t as traumatic anymore. I usually just find myself happy to be with her again, and when I wake up I’m just happy that I got the time again.
The grieving process is hard and I am starting to think it never really ends.
It does get less painful though, so … there’s that.
That’s the worst part, expecting them to be there and remembering every time. 💔 love be with you all! 💞🤟
50 years I’ve been a pilot ,30 at the airlines. Thanks for helping out God Bless.
As a retired state police crime scene investigator and processor I commend you all for your empathy and respectful handling of this tragic even!
Amen
I hope they got a proper debrief and counseling after something like this. I've seen several youtube groups go this (amazingly selfless) route, and over time you can really tell what they've seen is wearing on them mentally
God Bless all of you that were involved 😢
@@edwardbrown561 I agree. As a former fire and rescue member, I have worked a small plane crash such as this. Worst thing in my career.
May the angels watch over this man and his family. You and your first class Team deserve honorary Navy Seal Trident medals for these Saint like acts and your sublime service to humanity. RIP fellow pilot, we salute you.
There is only one thing we all can say.
Thank you for bringing him home
Thank you for bringing closure to the family
Thank you for doing this
Thank you for being there
And Thank you for being so kind
That's 5 things.
@@travism9339 Five of the same
Indeed. Play back with captions on - there’s several interestingly timed random “thank you”s that display on the screen. It’s only generated during the music - and when no one was talking... 🙏🏼
@@BentitoRizzolini Still 5 things.
@@travism9339 No no He's got a point
didn't matter how much paperwork you had to do, what matter was bringing Wayne Wirt home, you did an amazing job with doing that.
Having over 2 decades of civilian law enforcement experience and 2 decades in the USMC, I have handled far too many tragedies. I've never seen a crew work with any more compassion and devotion to the tasks at hand. I know for certain your attention to detail and respectful completion of this recovery will help the grieving family immensely. I have no connection to the family, victim or anyone involved, but I still want to say thank you. I liked and subscribed.
As an old retired pilot with 5000 hours of experience I know the loss of fellow pilots. Bless you for what you did.
Got some time under your belt my man 🫡
As a retired law enforcement officer…thank you for your service to the family of the pilot. Very kind
As a retired stazi I thank you for your commitment to the order. All freedoms must be granted with papers.
They are incredible on ground and air. When I saw the relationship with AWP and them working together, it was like watching the forces of good for those families.
Thank you for your service.
@@alexislaisney3749 your ignorance shows no bounds! In a video like this where communities come together to help people out you feel the need to be a political dipshit! Your parents must be proud
As a full time human being... thank you for your service to the family of the pilot. It was not unkind.
Seeing the plane being flown directly over the camera and into the sunlight seemed quite symbolic. Great work guys.
As a priest, it is part of my role to offer closure and comfort to the family by offering the respect that every person is due, particularly at the time of death. It is a true ministry to offer what you have offered this family.
Blessings to you for this difficult work.
It is not surprising that you experienced such peace in doing so.
May God bless and others who have cared for this family.
God bless you
Fellow UH-60 A/L aviator here (US Army, retired): we recently lost two dear friends of my own (from college and later in the Army) to a terrible accident that is still under investigation. You really handled this recovery in a professional and compassionate manner; compliments to you and all the members of your team.
I know the feeling. God bless you Brother.
Sorry for your loss
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to share your heartbreaking story, and for your service.
I won't lie, I'm a grown man and this made me cry.
You guys do amazing work.
Me too
I am with you on that. The family seemed so thankful and even in this very difficult time. What a loss to them but Dave Sparks and crew help lessen the burden of recovery of the plane and pilot's body.
Same, the end got me.
Not the only one
Same here man
Crap, i promised myself i would not cry, but here i am crying worse than a baby! HeavyD and his crew, thank you for what you are doing for these families providing them with some closure. The wprls needs more "guardian angels on crack" like you guys. Cindy i am truly sorry for your loss may you find some peace and comfort knowing that your husband is back home, i aspire to one day be as strong as you! Sending everyone lots of love and hugs from South Africa ❤❤
With you, brother.
any spare tissues?
What you guys did for that family is beyond amazing and I’m sure that family will be eternally grateful!! To have someone like you and all the guys that donated their time and resources is what this country is all about!! God bless!!
If no one has ever said this before, HeavyDSparks is basically a human angel walking amongst us !! He always jumps on board to help someone ! You're amazing
💯🙏👍
How can a diesel show end up as a reality series that has the ability to make a grown man shed a tear or two. You guys are incredible. I hope you keep doing amazing things like this.
i totally agree with you on this one … this world so crazy now and no-one understands acts like this is how we need to be towards each other lifes to short for all the hatred there is
😊👍
This one made me cry as well,
I was good up till the black bag, 15 years in the fire service it brings back many memories of being on the working end. Just goes to show how real and human they are and how great it is they use their success to help others, and the positive impact they have... Even when it makes a grown man shed a tear
They do this by being amazing People, and setting an example that few of us Are able to follow
God bless all of you that was involved in Wayne’s recovery. You are all Angels on Earth as far as I’m concerned ❤
Prayers and Love to the family and friends. 🙏
“All I’m feeling is Peace and comfort…” to me, this comes from good people doing good things. Thank you.
As a GA pilot for 48 years, and a sheriff sgt for 28... I have seen the reports and photos of many accidents and viewed wreckage after recovery, and I've been on many a crime scene. This is the first "on scene" recovery I've had the opportunity to witness. This was an outstanding video, compassionate, sensitive, and professional in every respect. Thank you.
Very well said.
As a former Army helicopter pilot and Vietnam veteran, I was very touched by the efforts of the Diesel Brothers and all involved. You show the spirit of "leave no man behind" that has always been a creed of Army aviation, one that we all took very seriously. To see the love, care, and effort that everyone involved put into this recovery was quite touching and made me proud. You are good men and I'm proud to know you even if it is just through this online medium.
God bless each and every one of you!!
I thought of the same exact thing. No man left behind. Considering the distance, etc. I am proud to be a fan.
I know of a veteran pilot I talk proudly of, Dale Morse, very good man, so if anything like him ,we need a world of you, thank you for your service and God bless
Hooahh!!!
Thank you for your service, a fellow Vietnam era veteran.
amen may your god stand by your sides.
I’ve just recently found this channel and am touched by the thoughtfulness toward the family who lost their loved one. I’m from Chehalis Washington and am also a pilot. This channel is using its fame and fortune for good. Major fan after seeing the heart of this channel. God Bless.
The way you guys use your platform and heavy equipment to help people who desperately need it is indescribable. Bless you guys and keep up the great work
Now THIS is what being American is all about! Taking care of your fellow countrymen and women without hesitation! I just wished that more could be like you guys, and those who do things like this without much recognition get that recognition and be saluted as nothing but genuine heroes! Keep up the amazing and honorable work guys! 🙂👍 ❤
I totally agree
Imo, it has nothing to do with being American and everything to do with being human
American is the family having to rely on go fund me to recover the body. Just ridiculous.
Now this is what being a HUMAN is. 🙏🏼
I agree but you forgot about the guns
Being asked for help from Heavy D is probably the greatest honor anyone could ever have.
Heavy D all day 😌
No point in arguing over AWP or Dave and his crew. They are both equally amazing people who use their resources for an amazing purpose.
@@MJCExperience agreed. There was no back and forth. Just 2 opinions. AWP doe’s amazing things for people usually pertaining to water recover, heavy D with heavy equipment and friends. Im just supporting-my friend on his channel. Cheers 🍻
@@MJCExperience BOY OH BOY, SAID FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! NICEST AND MOST GENEROUS!!!!!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK!!!!!!!!!!! HEAVY D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEAVY D HAS A HEART OF A HUEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's a youtuber. I get it, he does some good recoveries and helps alot of people. But come on, the greatest honor?
thank you as a pilot that has crashed in the wilderness and almost died for my troubles I am grateful to you for helping to bring a fellow pilot home to be laid to rest so that his family doesn't spend the rest of thier lives mourning for a body that cannot be recovered.
As an aviator myself, I say, " Bravo. " job well done. A noble cause.
As a wife of a retired commercial airline pilot and me being a private pilot- with gratitude and tears for what you have done to help this family. Thank you is not enough 🙏🏻
Everyone who participated in this deserves thanks, and our respect for being the type of people who would jump in and help this family.
Had to make it about you.
@@travism9339 who are you hating on now?
@@travism9339 and you just "had to make" an unnecessary negative comment like a dope
@@jocelynkreiser You look pretty with the filter. Wonder what you look like without it. 😂😂😂
is it just me.....or does Diesel Dave seem like one of the best people a person can be?? Always smiling, always hugging, always cheering and making the best of some bad situations!!! DUDE is a real one for sure.
What the World needs more of, is people like all the people who helped Wayne and his family. The World would be soooo much better!! I pray for Waynes family. ✝️♥️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dave and crew... I can only imagine the peace you brought this family. Its hard enough to grieve let alone having all these obstacles. Thank you so much for helping them grieve. Much love! 💞
Total respect for everyone that pitched in on the recovery. This is the real American way. Big hearts and big goals.
😁✌️✌️
May the angels watch over this man and his family. You and your first class Team deserve honorary Navy Seal Trident medals for these Saint like acts and your sublime service to humanity. RIP fellow pilot, we salute you.
This is the way -mandalorian
My heart hurts so badly for a family I didn't know 36 minutes ago. With every ounce of my being I wholeheartedly thank everyone involved in Wayne's recovery. I am one person, but I am grateful for you all.
I’m the same I’m crying watching this
My thoughts exactly. My heart breaks. Treated with such honor and respect. Thanks to all who helped. Blessings and Shalom.
I came to say these exact words, my heart aches and I pray for all the families that where involved. Bless them all for their work and proving to the world that goodness is still strong in us all!
a sad story of a man who passed, doing what he loved to do, and you guys brought comfort and closure, a job well done.
Because of you and your crew I still believe in humanity and kindness.. thank you for helping that family
Every time I think HeavyD can’t get any more generous he goes and does it again. Amazing team you’ve created.
It is nice to watch - they could just give money, they could try to hire a guy, or they could just make a small donation...but no, they get their own equipment and do the whole damn thing themselves! Imagine how amazing it would be if other "influencers" behaved this way!
What awesome job you guys are amazing
Yeah he is a great person! Hope the person in these comments pretending to be him gets testicle cancer
This is the sort of content that separates you from everyone else. Real stories real people. Genuine. Nicely done to you and the team.
This broke my heart as a father, brother and son..
You guys are some real angels for people in need.
All respect for you guys!
You guy's are Good People . Enough said.
🙏 Fly high with the angels, Wayne! Rest in Paradise! Thank you for all you do, Dave! Much love!
As a sister pilot and former military aviation disaster responder, I am very glad that it was fellow aviators who coordinated and executed this mission. Way to be be good wingmen, guys. ❤
Man I’ve preached funerals of some folks I didn’t know, family and friends.. But stepping back and watching this just brings tears.. God bless this family and y’all as well…
You are incredibly generous with all that you do to help others. Thank you for being a positive role model for many young people.
Dude, the stories, the cinematography, the music, the emotion, the editing! You sir, and your team, are killing it these days! Some of the most compelling TH-cam video on TH-cam! I can’t say enough, well done. You’re a good egg Charlie Brown!❤
There isn’t a single person/team I respect more than HeavyD and his guys. The enthusiasm to help those in desperately difficult situations is unmatched. Thank you, for everything you guys do!
Your peace and comfort is no mistake that gentleman died by the sounds of it doing what he loves And you seem to be doing what you love this stuff doesn’t happen by mistake
When my child was found passed away, her belongings were given to me a year after… her bag, driving licence, keys, phone.. and a ring that my younger daughter was desperate for… it meant the world to us… you are amazing people.
As somebody who lives three hours away from this incident, and I live in Linn County. I want to say thank you for all your hard work. I wish we had more people like you.
Heart-rending. This video, more than any other, has made me a fan of this Channel. These are all some very decent people. They were sure raised right.
As a volunteer firefighter I just wanna say these guys are a major encouragement. There is nothing better and more fulfilling then giving your time, effort and energy to help others in need. To the dave sparks,his crew, the patey brother's and all the rest yall are amazing
Cameron did a great thing by letting you know about this. Thank you for taking on this project and putting it together. The kindness and generosity of everyone who worked on this project is amazing. You all rescued this family in so many ways. Thank you for taking on this extremely difficult project. Thank you for leaving crash site pristine. Nature is sacred and essential. These areas must be protected and preserved for the future. God bless all of you, as well as Wayne's family and friends.😮
I've seen some of your work before, but this one was absolutely the most powerful and spiritual to me. Several heavy tears moments. Goddamn you guys are appreciated.
I don’t think this will ever be surpassed… you and your teams generosity and respect is a pure reminder that there are great people in this world who will help anyone at any time.
God Bless you to the whole HeavyDSparks and crew!!!
This hits very close to home for me. My dad crashed and perished in his Lancair Legacy in the El Dorado forest in May of 2011. He was supposed to arrive at our ranch in the afternoon but never did. I had the unfortunate burden of getting the process started of trying to locate him. Initially your thoughts go from one of hope that maybe he had to divert to a remote airstrip without any services where he can't get ahold of his family to hoping he's not cold or trapped in the plane and its just a matter of time before he's found alive to the shock that someone has found the wreckage and no one survived. Getting that personal effects bag all sealed up and touching the very items your dad had used bet perished with is still emotional for me. sometimes I will look through his logbook and see the trips we went on and reflect upon it with happiness. It took SAR volunteers 48 hours to find the crash site. All of the things in this video regarding the banks and accounts needing a death certificate to continue paying bills or accessing the money are 100 percent true.
I commend you, Ryan McDonald with Northwoods Helicopters, the Pateys and everyone who committed their time and resources to helping this family move on from what can only be described as an instant and complete disruption to the their lives which will have lasting effects for many years. Great job Heavy D!
❤
That’s so cool and I have no clue how it feels but that is so amazing how you just have to look at the positive
❤ sharing your experience brought me tears, you are so right about keeping the little personal items. The loss of a parent is hard enough and to think of organizing the search and rescue seems unbelievably difficult.
Respect, bro. As a retired uk emergency and rescue, I can say how much of a respectful courtesy you did the families here. 👍
Over a year later and this story still gets to me. Thank you, so much, for taking this on. I learned of your helping this family after an extensive and exhausting campaign to try to find locals to help. It pained me to see so many in the aviation community, not want to get involved. Thank you, again for your work.
As a fellow aviator, thank you for using your resources and huge heart to help out this family! This world needs more people like you!! ❤
Dave, Thank you for this recovery. My husband was in the Air Force and he said the worst job was crash recovery. God bless you and all those that were involved.
I randomly come across your videos and like them, but seeing what you did here definitely made me subscribe. You're good people.
Dave and his crew deserve some sort of recognition for what they do paid or not nothing changes BIG heart ♥️
Massive community right here 🤙
As a veteran of military aviation (years of A&P school before that), a SCUBA Divemaster, and outdoorsman, I greatly respect the effort put in by the entire team. People like you keep our communities alive. Bravo Zulu. For our fallen brother, Fair Winds, a d Following Seas, we'll see you on the other side. For now, we have the Watch.
Action speaks louder than words.
Kudos to all the kind men and women who worked to rescue this pilot's remains and his plane and personal belongings in such a respectful manner.
Although I am not an Aviator, I am a human being and my hat is off to everyone involved in this recovery. You all handled it with the utmost care and compassion for Wayne and his family. I have been a subscriber to your channel for a long time but today you proved to me that I made the right decision to sub to your channel.
And to Waynes family, I want to extend my sincerest condolences for your loss. RIP Mr Wirt,
ME TOO 😅
Seeing Dave and the crew use their skills, connections, and finances to help people in need is tremendous.
We need more people like y’all around.
What you guys did is admirable. Thank you all. An unselfish act of true kindness.
You guys are literal angels. Thank you for all that you do........
I don’t think there is a man or woman that watched this that didn’t shed a tear very heavy.
Thank you for bringing this to us all I’m sure it was hard on you all and might only still be sinking in to what you all were involved in and what it means to this family.
Your a bunch of legends. Cheers to you all from Darwin Australia.
I'm a callous person normally and it totally got me. An amazing thing that shows there are still good people in the world.
Yes it made me cry that there is still good people in this world
May the angels watch over this man and his family. You and your first class Team deserve honorary Navy Seal Trident medals for these Saint like acts and your sublime service to humanity. RIP fellow pilot, we salute you.
"This is a brother, this is one of our guys". What I'm most impressed by here is not the recovery, but how amazing you guys are with people and talking to the family who lost a loved one.
Cant believe its been over a year since you guys did this recovery. This recovery and the Ron Barker recovery are hands down the 2 recoveries that show exactly how humble you, Diesel Dave, Hans, and the rest of your crew are and how willing you guys are to help people when they need it the most. You deserve everything you have in this world plus some.
Hi from England, I'm ex RAF Firefighter, so have seen a few aircraft mishaps. Your dedication and quiet professional work is fantastic. Great work.
As a career firefighter, rescue medic and a pilot, I feel honored to have seen this. The main media is full of lies and garbage, yet this type of story goes largely untold. This makes the internet worth it for sure. What an amazing group of people, who saw this terrible story and decided to actually help. My heart goes out to Wayne and his family, but you for sharing this story.
You shouldn't watch Fox news
@@philihc Yeah fox news is equally garbage
@@philihc and you shouldn’t watch msnbc, cnn, Vice, Bloomberg, HuffPost, buzzfeed etc but you still watch them, you think you are any different when you’re just the other side of the coin 😂
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd I think Fox news are on a different coin.
@@philihc oh so you’re really far gone and out of the loop, you still believe in the red vs blue political theatre and think one side is good 😂 they truly programmed you to think exactly like they intended
Your respect and dignity you gave Mr Wirt is down right amazing. You were able to show what it takes to do such a recovery while maintaining the respect something like this deserves. ❤
@@JXZ2 They are monitizing it so they can give the money to the family, they are filiming it as a documentary and had permission from the family my guy
@@Redacted341 At what point did they say that? Didn't see that. If so, good. Not like he needs TH-cam money at this point anyway.
@@JXZ2 Its pretty explanitory though and you proved that.
@@Redacted341 Is it? So, he never said that in the vid huh? nice. Must be one of his paid employees? So that means I had no way of knowing that he was giving proceeds to the family therefore my point is validated. Using death to promote yourself is wrong even if you are not getting paid on this he will gain subs and then money from that. One way or another, I find it disrespectful to the dead.
You and your team members are what is great in this world! God is watching brother and may he bless you and your families!
As a U.S. Navy veteran living in Reykjavik Iceland, I just have to say thank you for what you have done.
I've already said it and I say it again: these videos involving a human loss are always edited so tastefully. It's hard to loose a family member so every help counts. It's awesome for all those people getting involved, wanting to help no matter time or money. Dave always has the golden hand in assembling exactly the right crew... 😎👍
Never seen such an incredible group of people, helping the desperate in need. May that fellow aviator rest in peace.
What
I have watched your content for YEARS from the TV to utube and just when i thought you guys couldnt do anything cooler, you guys do this. Makes me speachless and greatful to know that people like you and your crew still exist!
Humans can be amazing! This is a story that resonates and I'm grateful that you made this happen. God bless and be safe.
After watching this video I am sold on the fact that you and your crew have hearts of gold. We need more people in the world like you guys. Giving the family that closure was critical. Great work guys
It's sad that we pay all these taxes to the government, who have all the resources to complete this task and yet. The people still have to step in. F the government and love the people. Truly annexing what they did
AMEN To That! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE!
The way it was edited felt a little sappy but yea.
Yeah that's why they put it as a video on TH-cam and didn't just do it under the radar.
@@iitzfizz If they never published it as the content they would not have the money to do good, Sorta like Mr. Beast he is fucking annoying half of the time but people get free money and he helps more than most of us will ever help.
As a fellow aviator I'm gaining huge respect for you and your entire crew. I 've been following your vids for some time now and know that you have a huge heart. Thank you for all you do.
Strong work... Respect for helping a family in need in a tough time.
That's why I love yah Heavy D, because you love to help! It's the Utah way. Bravo.
Dude, you are in a truly UNIQUE situation, to have the skills, equipment and motivation, to help people in some very dire and difficult situations. You're efforts are much appreciated. My condolences to the family.
Agreed!
God had a plan at this man's conception, and the world gets to see it in action.
@@firebythewater4477 God has a plan for each and every one of us! If we can just get out of our own way, and not sabotage it, ...lt becomes so much simpler and more fulfilling!
This brought me to tears, I have never been prouder to be a fan and subscriber of someone more than I am you. You are a hero to so many people. R.I.P Wayne.
Could not agree more...I had tears in my eyes for 95% of this video. It was very moving.
I agree ❤❤❤
The world needs more people like you guys, Amazing human beings, Thank YOU
Absolutely amazing people you all are!! Everything you all did was just with care for the family and the wilderness.
I'm an aviator also HD. Helo, fixed wing and small UAS pilot. Got to be honest. It's hard to "enjoy" this presentation under the circumstances. Having said that, I truly appreciate what you and the assembled team did for this family. I have lost friends due to aircraft accidents and it is not an easy time even when you have immediate access to remains... You are a blessing brother...
Amen.
@@jamesw.6931 I concur! Thanks to all the good men that came together to help this family. Rest In Peace Wayne.
And would like to give my condolences to Cindy and all of the rest of Wayne & Cindy’s family. 💕
Kudos to all you guys who jumped in and solved an impossible situation. This was a really uplifting story for a Sunday morning. God bless you all.
Amen.
Wasn't impossible. Easily doable. The government wants to have the say in everything. When they're involved it makes everything complicated.
sorry for your loss I'm extremely sorry to hear about this it is a great loss for the aviation family
He looked like a cool guy, Rest in Peace!
You guys are awesome, big Respect from EU, Hungary😁
God bless every one of you for stepping in and making this happen for this family. You’re all amazing humans. R.I.P. Wayne.
Dave and his team are exceptional people.
Real life heroes.
My good friend, I’ve been seen you doing so much for other’s, I remember seen you in San Juan Airport in PR, when I was leaving to Florida , after been taking care of my momma , I want to tell you how good your channel was going, and how happy make me seen that kindness on these troubling days, momma passed away January 6 2023, the pain of loss is unbearable friends and family give you support, but when I see kindness like yours remind me of my momma ,she always said, do things from your heart and you never be alone!!! Keep goin!!! God is looking!
This was touching. Thank you for bringing Wayne home and his aircraft. It's amazing how it looked like just a crumpled up mess of aluminum foil. A reminder of what these things are made of, so they can fly. 😳
Glad you were able to recover it so quickly, without any issues.
Thank you bro
As a fellow pilot
I have nothing but respect for the hole crew that took part of this recovery.
“Rest in peace Wayne”
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You don’t need to say you’re a fellow pilot
Thank you for doing what you do, and for being such an empathetic person. Nice to know humanity still has people like you AND your team!
To that Man’s family…my heart is heavy and my thoughts are with you, although my heart is also beyond happy that you are able to get a bit more closure.
We need more people like these guys
The way you reach out and help those in need is a model that others should strive to live by. I cannot begin to imagine the weight you lifted off his wife’s burdened shoulders. God bless you Dave for simply being you and following your heart to be a better human. Although this was a tragic situation you made it somewhat bearable to his family … you’re appreciated kind sir❤️🙏🏻❤️
we need more like him and adventures with a purpose
I think the part that touched me the most was seeing Diesel Dave doing his thing and supporting Cindy as the plane was moved into the hanger. That therapeutic touch from another person during hard times helps so much.
That's the part that got me too, thank you for noticing! I couldn't be there in that moment for my mom, but when I saw that scene, my heart swelled knowing that they were taking care of her in my place. I have nothing but love for Diesel Dave, Heavy D Sparks, Mark Patey, and everyone else that volunteered their time to get Wayne home. I'm glad you noticed that moment too!
