The COPS FORCED ME TO LEAVE AFTER I STUMBLED ON A CRIME SCENE during FREE overgrown lawn MOWING
many of you may have questioned why I have slowed down on making videos and its for a collection of reasons like large life changes and spreading myself thin but this without a doubt played a big part in it. I feel like this event should have been no big deal as it is very natural but it was the event that pushed me over the edge. I have been depressed for months and while I embrace moments in my life where i become depressed because i know that i will grow stronger as a person because of it, its also a reason big reason for me to be silent and reflect on life and what is going on around me. A very big part of this channel is the voice over and if I am not in the right mental space just expect me to back away when needed. I feel that is for the greater good. Healing is an ugly process and I don't want to say anything that will create a negative seed in someone else's life.
All that said the last few months have been such an awesome thing for me and have allowed me to start breaking out of my BS. I was able to giveaway a brand new mower away in Louisville KY and then spent 2 weeks working (something that I love to do) everyday doing power washing in Arkansas from there I came home and lawns were starting to wake up so I got to cut some grass....something I love to do. lol then I got a call from my friend Al in Florida and he asked me to come down and cut some properties with him so I took the family down to Florida for a week. I knocked out a bunch of work then spent a few day at the beach with my wife and daughter jumping waves in the Ocean. On top of all of that we found out that Rachel is pregnant and we are expecting out second child. We are super excited for our new addition to the family in November.
Thank you so much for you kindess, love and support!!

You don't have to but by subscribing to the Channel it greatly supports the work that I do for the community. The best part is it doesn't cost you a dime to be a subscriber!😎👍💯 THANK YOU!!!
Fantastic work. This looks like it hit really hard, but if there’s any family then it may well be easier on them seeing the house in the good state you left it in instead of all overgrown. Take some time out for you. Well done for all you do. Congratulations on the soon to be new addition to the family 😊
@@Em280483 this actually happened last October. I tried to keep things going on the channel for a bit but after this happened but I had to just step away for a bit. The great news is I have alot of content from last year that never got put up and already alot of jobs from this year. I am extremely excited to finally be out working again after winter.
@@LawnCareJuggernaut I’m so glad you’re doing better. It’s so important to stop & take time to reflect & refresh every so often. It’s also fantastic that you recognised this was a time where you needed to do exactly that. It’s not always about pushing forward & through. Self care is a priority, not a luxury….so they say 😊
@@LawnCareJuggernaut life and death happens everyday,please don't let that interfere with the good you do by helping others.even at that house last Oct.the last thing that family needed to worry about was the lawn.you fixed that for them,not to mention helping the person in the house,thank you.god bless
Respect to you thank God you did cut that lawn now the person can be laid to rest
I did lawn maintenance for 20 something years and I had one client that was a home body( never went anywhere) usually I would see her in the house and she would wave at me when I was there. One day I didn't see her. Mind you I was there every 2 weeks! I tried to call her on the phone but there was no answer. So I called her son and talked to him. He come and luckily she was alive but had fallen and had been there for several days before i come by. I couldn't imagine finding something like this. The lady in my story went to the hospital and was back home 2 weeks later when I come back. Her son thanked me for calling him and she asked me if I could come by weekly to make sure she was ok. Told me if she didn't answer the door to unlock it and come in. She left me a key! She was 95 when her son call me one day and told me she had passed in her sleep years later. I'm greatful to have known her and her son, and they were greatful for me. I even visited her in the off season just to check on her.
Great person thanks for caring
Got goosebumps reading this beautiful story of the lady ❤

My neighbor committed suicide, we noticed his car had not moved for several days and we called the police for a well being check. I had to go inside when the officer arrived to secure his very protective German Shepard and no one in his family wanted her. We went to the shelter and rescued the poor thing because she was absolutely traumatized after spending days with her deceased owner. We had her for ten more years and I know my neighbor would have been happy because he loved his dog.
That’s awful to hear, condolences to the family, you are a hero for taking that dog in!
Wow very nice of you how was the dog doin?
Omg that poor dog🥺, days without food, without water and all alone. Poor German Shepherd. This is so sad. She was saved thanks to you❤️
@Ryan Houghton . No one said anything about the dog eating any part of my neighbor. You clearly went to a very dark place here. He had arrangements for his brother to take his dog and his brother refused leaving her in the animal shelter traumatized. People have depression and it gets worse when they can’t pay their bills or get lonely and people like you making ignorant comments make things worse for some , try being nice it may be hard for you but you could try.
@Ryan Houghton You're a sad human being
Your woman is sweet. I can tell she loves you a lot. She doesn't give a shit about lawn trimming. She just knows you love it, so she wants to be part of it and make you happy. That's a rare breed of woman. You're a lucky guy
Yes she's lovely.
I know. At First I thought she was from the neighborhood and fell in love at First sight. I was thinking: this girl is so into him and It is really obvious.
Very Nice couple!
I think she might have become interested after learning about it from him. She was pretty excited on that mower 😊but yes she seems wonderful. And he seems great with her as well.
My father in law was found in the summer approx a week after he died. You saved that person's family a ton of trauma, and you handled the situation with dignity and respect. I'm very sorry you had to go through that.
I agree with you he handled it but I would had stopped mowing the back and called it in .
The family I am sure are graftfulfor what you did.great job! Blessing !
You saved the deceased's family the horror of finding the body themselves. You also saved them the trouble of cleaning up the yard and having to see the abandoned appearance of the house. You gave the deceased and their family a real gift.
If they don’t want to live anything from this, they are not family anymore. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Family? Obviously they didn’t care to visit or check on him nor be concerned about his high lawn had they passed by .. !!
@@RissaNicole84 What a terrible thing to say... I served for 23 years in the military, over half of which was served overseas, including 3 combat tours... You have no clue what is going on with that family; they could have been close, but due to circumstances not been able to see each other for long stretches of time. If anything happened to my family while deployed to Iraq, it could quite possibly be that I wouldn't have known anything until returning from deployment. By the looks of the grass in the front yard, it couldn't have been more than a month since the last yard trimming (some people let the back go longer between mowing than they let the front go). What if the family is in another state, what if the family went on vacation? You really don't have a right to be judgmental without knowing the family nor their circumstances!
@@jasonpenn5476 Thank you for your service.
@@jasonpenn5476 CSB. Ever hear of a phone?
Nobody found this person except for the man who was taking time to do a good deed. Who ever they were in this life that time has past. But because of you they are laid to rest. I've been a paramedic for 16 years and have been called to many scenes like this. Don't dwell on the details of your imagination. Good hearted people are in danger of feeling too much because that's naturally what you do. People ask how do first responders handle what they see. First thing is as I said above, we don't dwell on it. Concentrate on the good of the job, protect your mind, be strong and move to the next good deed. Thanks for the video. The world's a better place for these things.
ironically it's the same in animal rescue. yeah we are all good people, but the ones who care to much are the ones that burn out. :( you have to learn to "switch off" or compartmentalise (for lack of a way to fully explain it), and focus on what good you are doing, because if you focus to much on the negative (and there is a lot), it will take you down such a dark path that you will not be able to help others. First rule many carers brake, and those with big hearts can't always handle. "you can not care for others if you do not first care for yourself. "
There is so much insight meaning wisdom in this paragraph, it should be read over and over again and again

@@Blackfox_Kitsune I rescued actively for two years. I have diagnosed PTSD, four of my own foster fails, and frequent nightmares because of what I saw. I can't imagine those who deal with the deaths of human beings, when seeing the awful things that people do to dogs was enough to damage me emotionally in a severe and permanent way. Thank you to everyone who does this for animals and for humans, and the respect I have for those who could continue to do what I could not is immense. Humans can be so very, very evil, and nowhere is it more evident than when looking at those who cannot help themselves, whether the victims are canine or human. There are some truly despicable people in this world, but the heroes that rescue dogs and/or other humans in need are amongst the bravest and most selfless. They are truly the best society has to offer, and I'm so profoundly grateful that not everyone was as weak as I ended up being. I'm ashamed that I could not continue on, but I am proud of what I did accomplish while I was an active rescuer. I directly rescued 19 dogs myself, fostered quite a few(and adopted 4 of the ones I fostered), and assisted or participated in more than 100 rescues from injured strays to endangered animals being sold or given away on Craigslist. It wore me down emotionally and psychologically, and I'll never forget some of the horrific things I saw. I couldn't do it for very long, but I have to believe that I at least made a little bit of difference in the lives of those dogs I was able to help. Imagine how many animals are helped by those strong enough to do it for many years. I'm in awe. Honestly. Thank you for carrying on where I could not. 💙
If the windows were opened to air out the place, someone already knew about it. Can't help but wonder if it was a homicide or neglect/failure to call medics if due to natural causes. RIP to the individual that passed.
You handled this situation with exceptional professionalism. All while protecting your wife from what your intuition was telling you. I hope you’re recovering from this experience. Take the best of care.

You was very respectful to this poor person. The world needs more people like you.
I agree with you there he did the family a good thing. I would had stopped and called it in then asked if they want me keep mowing ? But someone must have known the person was dead bc he said the windows were open unless it was a elderly person? The who thing is sad . I am glad as a plain clothes Federal Law Enforcement Agent I never have seen anything like that .
As a firefighter, usually it's folks like you or mail carriers that notice things a neighbor wouldn't. Good on you. Never feel bad for doing the right thing.
It’s terrible neighbors didn’t bother to check or question someone’s disappearance!😳
@@mariarohmer2374 maybe but it depends on how well you know them i dont even know who my neighbors are its none of my business what they do if they stopped coming to their house i might notice but just assume they've moved and not snoop on others business to much
@@bobobob5108 That's one way to be as a neighbor. If it works for you, great. But it's not the norm. Most people are aware and do notice patterns. I like my privacy and prefer people out of my business. That said I would also like people to notice if something seems off pattern or not normal. We're all here on this one planet & should be helping each other. People always use the saying that it's none of their business but I think it's just people don't want to care of make an effort. I feel most strongly about it when it comes to seniors. They are vulnerable and could use the neighborly support.
Yeah no that's not a thing here. Here the norm is to be cordial with ones neighbours, but you would never be close enough with them to "notice patterns" beyond 'Oh, that person might have moved out'. It's not about lack of care, it's about respect for other's privacy.
@@Cinderbloom Exactly. I wave and sometimes speak to all my neighbors but I definitely wouldn’t notice if something was different from their usual day to day.
I was a police officer for 27yrs. You would be amazed at how many people just walk away from the area without doing anything because they didnt want to get involved. I had one where a guy who cut grass found the home owner dead then proceeded to steal his belongings. Take care. You did the RIGHT thing even if it turned out to be nothing.
Wow what an ass the person stole their stuff thats a way to get rid of your dignity if they ever had any
Sounds like he wasn't very bright, if you figured out he was stealing the belongings...
Yea fuck that shit not everyone is white and not a suspect
Geez, what sort of person does that, steals from a dead person like that? Then again, a friend of my brother had a stroke while she was driving a few months ago, she's 23 years young. Crashed the car and while she was lying on the ground outside of the car in a coma, someone stole her purse and phone...
That’s terribly sad. 😭
So sorry, Son, that you had to smell that. You are a kind and strong warrior to your wife to protect her. God bless you for your kindness, and for your wisdom.
Amen
God sent you to this house today for the body to be found, no telling how long it's been there. You did your job for today, and we all thank you for all you do. Sending out condolences and prayers to the family.🙏🕊
Brother you did the part of special mission God sent you to call police 🚔 because nobody knew about the death,may God bless you for good deeds.
Yes Mr. Juggernaught. Your path was not an accident. Everything we do is a wave in a pond… we’re all interconnected yet seperate and we all are intricately guided by our “instincts“. Your intuition is profound, keep it up.
DEFINITELY ❤❤ 🙏 🙏
Amen, and for the deceased. Eternal Rest grant unto this deceased person, O Lord. May Perpetual Light shine upon him or her. May this deceased person, and all of the Faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen.
I have been a Funeral Director for 26yrs and have made dozens of removals like this. It never ceases to amaze me that people are so consumed with life , that no one checks on neighbors or notices 10 newspapers in the driveway or a sudden stop in lawncare. I get it, I go a week without checking on my parents too. We all need to exist more in reality, not just through a screen or monitor. To have good neighbors, we got to start being one. Thank you sir for being a good neighbor!
Exactly. Someone had to notice. It baffles me. The neighbors obviously never saw anyone move out, the yard becomes overgrown and no one questions anything, even call for a welfare check anonymously.
So sorry this happened to you. I'm sure you were bothered for quite awhile. Thank for all you did and do,
Thank you for sharing and reminding me that to have good neighbors it starts with ME being a good neighbor first. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing and reminding me that to have good neighbors it starts with ME being a good neighbor first. Thanks again.
The whole thing is so sad. I would notice my neighbors lack of lawn care, trash cans not being taken out, possible lights being on constantly but no sign of my neighbor.
Whoever raised you did a hell of a job. At the beginning when you talked about keeping busy and how healthy it is, it shows you were raised with a work ethic and valuing hard work. Just found you today but you have a new subscriber and supporter
And if that is your wife, we have the same taste if u know what I mean. This man is living his LIFE
Very pretty. :)
I just found him today, too. Today is May 10th, 2024
That's crazy, I'm actually surprised a neighbor didn't report a wellness check on the resident when they hadn't been seen and no moving truck was seen. Glad you were able to report it so the family of the person who passed has peace of mind.
I'm surprised nobody noticed the smell!
But who opened the windows? They had to know there is a body there. The person may try to cover the crime scene by opening windows to dissipate the smell, but most murderers don't care about the smell, or stop to open windows. Family, if any, would not open windows and leave the body. Maybe windows were opened prior to the death, to cool house, maybe A/C broken, or bill not paid. Police don't think it's a natural death... maybe they saw stab wounds, bullet holes, bound hands, etc. I for one, would like to know what happened and to who. 😢
@@sandrachebo Elderly person may not have the funds for A/C and had windows open. May have passed from extreme heat. Was there a follow up that I missed stating police didn't think it was a natural death? It would be treated as unknown until a ME makes the call on cause of death. I agree that it is sad that no neighbor's noticed/questioned not seeing resident. Not all neighborhoods socialize and that is sad.
@@lahawk7410 that was the same thing I said. At the end of the show, the police told him that it was now a crime scene. The officer who came out first was talking on his phone, probably calling detectives and CSI team. The OP said they told him to leave. Check the title. The ME will make final determination but police must investigate and collect evidence first. ME on scene may make preliminary determination based on visible evidence.
The reality is, that’s how a lot of open suburban neighborhoods are anymore (not talking small suburban areas, but large ones with long streets lined with many homes that all look similar) - no one bothers to know their neighbors beyond a face and first name basis with the “not my business” mentality. Not even just suburban areas, but the urban/metro ones, as well. The more people there are, the less of a community - becomes overwhelming to even keep up with the ones next door, and many get too consumed with their own selves to pay any mind to 20+ homes around them on one street let alone the sheer volume of ever changing faces within a 2 mile radius due to the amount of traffic coming and going. I know that’s how it was when I lived in the outskirts in a suburban community near Columbus, OH back in the early 90s. Decent area like shown in this video, but neighbors beyond the ones directly next to us were basically nonexistent. Always seemed like a new batch of people moving in nearby within months of prior occupants moving out, everyone in constant paranoia over who you can trust, so most kept to themselves and never got involved in anything unless police are coming to their door and asking about something, but way too often it’s never the other way around. More often than not, it usually boils down to people claiming they have their own problems and don’t need “new ones” by getting involved, though. Those who have ever lived in a small rural backwoods areas (not rural as in 1,000+ populations, talking even smaller and more secluded) will know exactly what I mean with community. It’s just different in those areas, and it shows with how a community responds to events and how far one will go out of their way to keep in contact with someone that goes beyond just whoever lives next door. Some suburban communities can be really good with these things and I’m obviously not referring to them, but if you’ve lived in different areas, you’ll know exactly the communities I’m talking about. Real pretty and seemingly safe on the surface, but very cold and distant once in them.
When I was a kid I found my grandmother one morning she had a stroke that night, you have my greatest respect for the way you handled that. May God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry that you had to be the one to find your grandmother. I can only imagine how hard that would be.
This is no coinsidence that you were mowing this grass when you did, you gave back the deceased person dignity by making their yard presentable again and bringing closure to a sad situation. Much respect for how you handled this and for what you do helping others. Also, protecting your wife from a upsetting situation was stellar and is a testament to how much you care for her.
The care, concern, admiration and respect that you showed for your wife touched my heart! May it be a witness to other people-how to treat their spouses. The respect you showed towards the family & the deceased or whatever it was demonstrated that you have a kind heart that’s desperately needed in this dark time. Will be praying for you all. May God bless you!
This is the first time I've ever watched this channel and I thought the same thing. God led him there for a reason, although it might not seem like it in the beginning. If God leads you, he will see you through it no matter what. I'm sorry he had to see and smell what he did but it will soon be a faded, stinky, memory, I've had a few of those and then the blessings are going to come pouring in.
@@tamera6842 I was just coming through the threads to say a similar thing. That God placed him there to aid the person, even if the aid was a post-humerus(sp?) form. Prayers and Condolences to the family.

Would be kinda crazy to leave without telling anyone given he'd spoken to neighbours and they'd eventually find the body with him having been on the property some time before.

Wow, how you protected your wife's smile. While im sure a whole movie was playing in you're mind of emotion and memories. My friend was inside her house and I was pounding on the door leaving voice-mails. On day 4, her neighbor and I called. She had been gone the whole time. Her death was alcohol induced ,her family said my voice-mails made them and the police laugh out loud during a horrific find. She had cats.
Do you think a woman can't handle trauma? Ha!
I love that you are such a kind hearted person. Not only did you neaten up that yard which is such a special calling but you took the time to do the right thing by calling for a wellness check when you felt in your heart that something was very wrong. Thank you for being a wonderful person❣️ There aren’t many of you around anymore. God bless you, your wife and family.🙏🏼💞

This is why it is important to get to know your neighbors. Especially the elderly ones. They may not have family or family nearby to check on them.
Honey this is Tulsa Oklahoma people in Oklahoma City really don't give a fuck about their neighbors or other people why do you think he was the only one that called 911 when he smelt it you can tell if a smell is so strong like that of death that person has been in their dead for a while a longer than 3 days and then the fact that someone open the windows and you never know maybe the person that passed away open the windows before they passed away
So very true I've seen it in the apt. complex I live in. Actually got hold of the office for a welfare check on a person who was quite loud and disturbed then the person was silent and I had a feeling. It's very disturbing to come across and my heart goes out to this man and the respect shown and the way he handled it as a citizen of the town and called for a welfare check
I’m fairly sure those neighbors knew more than they were saying.
@@goldierocks. They very well might not. People often don't pay attention to their neighbors beyond "they're being annoying" or "they've been quiet for a while."
I usually check in on my elderly neighbour that lives right below me at least once a week. She is very healthy and I often also just see her out and about but still, her kids don't live close and especially during the last two years we all just kept an eye on each other.
I’m actually surprised this doesn’t happen more often, where the yard is overgrown and neglected, the home is forgotten, and the owner has passed on unnoticed. Thank you for reporting this. 💕

Abandoned homes have been a slight fascination of mine, but they always come with a wave of sadness. Wondering of what happened to who lived there and what their story may have been. I worried my boyfriend's house would have the same story after he suddenly passed from his addiction, after I found him 12 hours too late. Thankfully our neighbor bought the house and it was surprising that it didn't take years to go through probate courts. It's just hard to think that someplace that is called home for however long, suddenly fades into the past.
It’s likely the person who passed, purposely left the windows open. 💔 Thank you for showing so much kindness and compassion not only for the home/neighborhood, but for the decedent as well. I am sorry that you had to experience this, but I’m also grateful you were there so that the loved ones could be notified. You & the Mrs are a great team with hearts of gold! ❤

@@dandecamp9235 I am not from the usa, tulsa, so I don't know what kind of climate it is there but maybe if it's warm, the person just had the windows open?
@@baidykle1 We don't do that very much in the US. At least not in the hot places. It's not just warm it's HOT and opening a window just makes it worse. We have deadly heat for long periods in a lot of the US. That's why about 70% of homes have air conditioning. Even in the "cooler" months like spring it's 25C+ and the pollen is crazy. For example yesterday where I live was 30C and we're in spring. Summer is 35+
9@@dandecamp9235
So the person felt that he was dying and decided to open up all windows first? Why? Makes no sense whatsoever. It's more likely the windows were open because of the heat.

@@sharonshoop495 These are fundamental flaws that are dangerous to maintaining a civilization.

I do believe it's coming though (and more rapidly than ever). My estimation is 30-45 years.
When the family showed up in what was undoubtedly a traumatic situation. They did not have to walk through waist high grass to reach the home. They will not need to hire a lawn service to list the home. You did a good thing.

I can tell you and your wife have such pure and kind hearts. It was very uplifting to watch you two. Plus you are great at educating people who are interested in lawn care techniques. I loved how patient you were with your wife and how sensitive you were to the individual who lost their life as well as their family. No shame in feeling some type of way about this and no shame in taking care of yourself! Even if it means never doing a video again you've still done so much good. Also, I'm a first timer on your channel as well but plan to go back and watch other videos!
Kev, you did exactly what you needed to do as a man of responsibility with genuine values. These bites of sadness and brutal reality occur from time to time and we do what we can to push on through. Take care of your family and continue doing what you do.
I couldn't agree more! Kevin, you are an honorable man.
Man...this was a whole year ago but i just wanted to say your character shows through in this video. The way you tried to remain calm before she left so she wouldnt be afraid. This must have been traumatic to experience but you're an amazing man. God bless you and your sweetheart of a wife ❤
Same.. feeling the same
Does anyone have an update on the crime scene investigation? 😮
I think it was very intuitive of her to notice something was wrong. She can read you very well. I can read my husband pretty good and know when something is a little off
Amen!
Had a similar event with a next door neighbor. Thankfully my wife and I discovered it in time before his dog starved to death. Poor thing is quiet by nature, so we had no idea. It was only when we went up to the door that we heard weak whining and scratching at the door, that we had a bad feeling. The neighbor always took his dog for a walk 3 times a day, like clockwork. The moment he stopped and the news papers were not picked up from the driveway, is the moment we did a friendly wellness check. That act saved his dogs life. Be a good neighbor and pay attention to those around you.
My neighbor passed after returning from the hospital (no one knew she was discharged) ..well, she had a big dog. A month went by and the dog was going nuts.. to cut a really long story super short... the dog ate her to survive I assume.. but was put down afterwards. They scooped up her poor remains & put them into some kinda medical bag ? Idk.. I watched it all go down, me & my mother called for the welfare check. Still feel really bad about it all to this day. God bless.
Nope cause not my buisness or my problem. I'll happily take the dog because they're precious and I care about them more than a person.
@@vince3523 Go find psychiatric help you insensitive prick. If that is your attitude towards innocent people, then you don't deserve to have a dog.
1st time to see your video. My kids Dad did lawn work and then my son before he went in the military. I appreciate the way you teach your techniques with the different tools, the way to mow so the grass doesn’t blow in the neighbors yard. You are a great person protecting your wife from the reality of the smell. Thank you for what you do for others. I’m in my mid 60s with physical limitations. I’m friends with my neighbors on either side of my house. Either neighbor will mow my front yard for me. I do things that I can for my neighbors. I’ve tried to be friendly to other neighbors who won’t even return a smile and wave. So, thank you Sir, for being a kind, neighborly person.
I wish I had someone like you to help us. My hubby and I can’t keep it up due to bad health. It’s embarrassing. So I love seeing you helping people. Seems like you’re a genuinely good person. God Bless.
Kevin, this happened to my father. He passed alone in his home & no one knew. He'd set up a window repair & the repair man thought it was odd he didn't answer the door & followed his instinct; watched my dad's house, just as he drove around to his appts that week, saw dad's truck never moved. He called a wellness check. I am FOREVER grateful to him. FOREVER grateful. His kindness saved the lives of dad's 2 cats & 3 little dogs and my soul. Dad had mental issues & estranged himself from the family. I loved him very much & understood his current behavior was his illness, not him. Addicts were squatting in his home & stealing his things while he rotted on the floor. (no, it was not a large home. Addiction steals a person's humanity.) Being disturbed by this situation is VERY understandable. Please know you were a God send to that home owner. Seriously. I also have chronic, severe depression & know it lies to me about my actions & overwhelms me with dread when issues of responsibility appear in my life; it wants to make me fear & steal the good from my life. From watching your videos, your depression is lying to you, you CAN handle anything, any mistakes will be ok. you demonstrate decency in these videos, people need to see that demonstrated. Seeing the best of what we should be to one another is what is important. You are one of the good ones. I wish you strength & love.
👍
So sorry for your loss 🙏💙
I have mental health issues, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD-C, Alexathymia, Depression, Anxiety and a high IQ at 145 pts. I fear I'll die alone because I have trouble connecting with people and am frequently seen as being an asshole even though I may love the person deeply I have trouble showing it in conventional ways. It sucks because I only recently got diagnosed after kinda figuring it out myself 5 months ago. I'm 35 years old and appear outwardly happy but inside is a different story. I am sorry for your loss. I lost my step father to cancer when I was 22 and my father when I was 23 to a car accident, both times on my birthday so I fear that day alot.
@@quijybojanklebits8750 so sorry you have been through so much. Mental health problems suck, I have many issues. I will pray for you to find inner peace. Very sorry for the loss of your father and step father
@@quijybojanklebits8750 im 15 years old have depression anxiety autism and ADHD and uses to be afraid of death but now Im slightly less afraid of it just saying
Anyone who would even think to criticize you for doing free lawn care while earning money doing your videos needs to find more important things to do with their time!! People can be so stupid!! You are doing a great service for those who can't afford it. Keep on being you!!
They're criticizing the implication that it's charity. There's a concept of free at the point of service. It's why we say healthcare is (could be) free, but really we all pay into it. Maybe be less eager to condemn?
Those people you speak are probably one of those that have never done a hard day's work in their life. A long story short I agree with your comment. Have a blessed day. 😊
@@arthurmccorkle2525 u got that right.
You have a very tender heart, just pray that you have saved the family’s shock. May the police inform them tenderly. God bless you 💖
You honored the deceased with all that you did. After realizing the situation, you went even further by doing as much as you did AND calling the police which not all people would have (not wanting to get involved). God bless you angel, and your sweet wife.
I'm a disabled Vet, I medically retired a few years back after about 11 years in. I got my first house in a small town near a Great Lake and we had our 1st kid. We didn't have much money for anything but a push mower and my knees are shot. I figured I'd just push through it, but that didn't really pan out. My brother in law shows up with a buddy and take care of my whole yard, leaves and everything. I kind-of hid from the window until they were done out of shame but I can barely explain how grateful I was/am. Another family member gave me my grandpa's old riding mower they inherited after he passed. You are really doing a service that goes un-noticed.
If you don’t mind me saying so, I Thank you for your service. I have a decent amount of my family members who serve[d] in the Military, so I definitely hold a large amount of respect for those who served for this country.
Thank you for your service. I feel your pain, I have bad knees and a back. Someone got me the ddp yoga routine and I laughed, but I stuck it out and it really helped. I walk so much easier now. You should look into it.
Red Man may I suggest you never be ashamed of getting help from friends and family. This is a sign of respect from them. And I am learning our shame comes from us not loving ourselves enough, which usually stems from what we learned from our childhood (sounds like a lot of phsyco babble, but the older/more mature I get, I realize there is some truth to it and I don't have to blame anyone for it and the good news is, we can change that mindset). Hold your head up high when you receive blessings like the ones you described. You are a much loved man. Thank you for your service, my fellow armed forces member. Not all of us see combat, but we all signed up knowing we might be at risk of some level of danger.
Don’t you ever EVER feel ashamed. Hold your head high sir! I’m young (ish) and chronicle disabled and a chronic pain sufferer but I do love our riding mower we now have at the farm. For the last 10 years I wasn’t allowed to use my father’s big one. He got a small John deer or similar, the validation is extreme to be able to shove that “I can’t” into the next territory. It’s having the right tools. Keep your head up sir! I see you! (Inside and out) take care.
Thank you so much for your service. I'm the daughter of two Korea Era vets. Dad's still alive but my mom passed away in 2016. She was in her 80s by then and was disabled. Her room mate, a lady who had shared the house and life for over 50 years (they were both divorcees) had passed away and I didn't know that she was having depression to the point she was. Her lawn, which she had kept clean and neat for almost 40 years, got overgrown. I got a call from a lady who knew mom, that the yard was overgrown. I called her and asked, she didn't know anyone to call for help. I honestly didn't either and the quotes we were getting for cutting it were out of our price range. My husband or my son would have done it but we all live 700 miles away. So, I got to calling first the VA and then the VFW, which my mom was a member of. They didn't have anyone but they said they would ask around. There was a female reservist who was home on a month furlough that volunteered to go and help. She not only did the grass, she did some grocery shopping for my mom as well, and took dog food for mom's dogs. I was so thrilled that she was there for mom. It wasn't long after that mom was unable to care for herself any longer. She was in a nursing home and she told me she led the "great escape" out the emergency exit for about 20 residents who heard the ice cream wagon coming and they all wanted to buy ice cream. Yeah, that's mom, getting into "trouble" and leading the rest of everyone into it too. I miss her. Don't be ashamed that you couldn't do the work. You have a reason. And reaching out for help when you need it gives someone else the opportunity to give, something they are wanting to do, just like Lawn Care Juggernaut. You give them the chance to feel good by making you happy and helping you. (((hugs))) (btw: I'm disabled, wheelchair most of the time, I had to learn to ask for help and that's the lesson I learned.)
Also retired cop here. You did a good thing Brother. Death is tough no matter how many times you encounter it. This happens quite often with the elderly. The kids move away and are just too busy to check on their elderly parents or grandparents. Sometimes they are the last of their family, are I’ll or disabled, don’t get out much if at all and neighbors no longer check on each other. If you have elderly folks living in the area, haven’t seen them in a while, check up on them. They may have fallen or became very ill. If they are alright, just say hi and that you are just making sure they are ok. A little kindness goes a long way.
What a lovely caring man you are ,you and your beautiful wife
I agree my kids (grown adults) don't even call. It's sad. One day they will wonder how I managed being all alone. It hurts but I just pray for them 🙏🌹🙏
Same here. I have decided to give my heirs no inheritance as a reminder to them they had obligations they ignored.
@@karenmoriarty5754 I wonder where they get it from?
One of my mom's biggest fears is dying in her home alone and no one checking on her for weeks ....
You are such a kind, caring, and respectful man. Thank you for all you do.
You did the right thing. It is sad that nobody noticed the person was no longer around. The person must have been in the home for a while because the years was so overgrown.
You were brought there for a reason son. You did the right thing all around. No regrets. You brought the beginnings of closure to this place. Be at peace.
My thoughts too. His grandma is watching over him and probably guided him there because she knew he would do the respectful thing.
I was thinking the same! I love how respectful you were not only to situation and the deceased, but to your wife as well. I admire what you are doing for the communities you visit and yards you beautify and also that your wife cheers you on while doing so. So refreshing to see these days
My thoughts exactly. Well said S. Keefer. 👌🙏🙏
John 3:16 NIV For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 🙏!
Truly believe this also Thank you for sharing your Kind words 🙏
It was upsetting for you, but because you were doing someone a service, you helped this soul to be found and laid to rest. Bless you!
Hey bud their sole has been found... matter fact their spirit is what has been found. Once you die jesus will find you emediatly. Onec you die your body is useless, your body is nothing but a vehicle for you spirit. It has nothing to do with you once you pass
You’re exactly right! He sure did
Well said
This. Scrolling through... Found what I was feeling but not having the words at hand.
Can you do an update...Have you gone back? Do you know who this person is? How old were they,? Did they dump the body there and left. It's something very odd regarding the neighbors and they don't smell that SMELL. He's correct it's a smell that's EXTREMELY EXTREMELY FOUL. worse than 10 dead rats or dead dogs. You know it's death. Your body will almost immediately make you regurgitate due to it being so vile.
If this video creates just 1 person who checks on their neighbours/family more often , then you sir have had a big impact sharing this video. Thank you for helping people in the community, and being the gentleman you are.. your wife is a beautiful soul too 💖
I find comfort in the thought that this person was found because of someone doing a good deed. Whatever the circumstances of this person's life and death, there was someone caring and wholesome in their vicinity who brought help. An unwitting angel. I hope you are well and are protecting your peace and well-being. ❤
That was handled very respectfully, you did the deceased a favor by doing up the yard and calling the station. Take time for you homie! 🙏
I agree 100%
It's pretty sad that nowadays people don't interact enough with their neighbors to notice that something may be wrong. Bless you for doing the right thing.
majority of Humans are SELFISH arseholes and NEVER do anything for free for anyone & especially STRANGERS !!!!!!!!!
Extremely sad. Neighbors wake up. Although in a different circumstance, I live in a very congested city where there are a lot of people and cars on a tight area. So wall to wall street parking. Anywhere you park, someone lives right there. But for whatever reason at night when there are break ins to cars, smashed windows, thefts, vandalism, no one ever hears anything. No one ever looks out window or calls the police. It’s like they don’t want to know, not their car, not their problem. It’s really sad. Another time there was a businessman who worked downtown where at the time there were a lot of homeless intoxicated people. So it wasn’t uncommon to see someone intoxicated laying on ground. It was winter and at lunch this person decided to take the alley. He was an older man. He slipped on the ice, fell and winded up breaking his leg. He yelled for help but everyone ignored him because they thought he was an intoxicated homeless man. So he laid in snow for 2 hours before someone finally got him help.
I think it is wonderful that you are helping people who are elderly, disabled or just in need and doing it for free. Mine isn't overgrown, I am in need. I live in San Antonio, TX. God Bless You.😊
I find it so interesting how the dead was in the house, but all the windows in the house were open to vent the place out. Speaks of either premeditated death or attempt at a murder cover-up. Crime drama aside; great lawn work!! You know your stuff, and it's beautiful how you share that outward into different communities ❤
I'm a retired emergency flight nurse. I've seen things that nobody should ever see. Please take care of yourselves first. Coming unexpectedly upon something like that can really mess with or disturb some people. Never be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Have a most blessed day!
Definitely important to take care of yourself and your own mental health first. I’m part of my local volunteer fire department but we’re a small area so we’re also the only local ambulance so a lot of our calls are EMS related rather than fire related. It’s definitely hard to deal with a lot of the stuff that you see especially without being able to talk to your family or friends about it because of hipaa. One of the biggest things the chief stresses though is to either talk to other guys that are part of the department about it, or seek professional help if you believe it’s bad enough. He also constantly stresses that we should feel comfortable letting him know that we need a break from going on calls if we start to struggle with any of it. In fact he forced a few of the guys who went on a particularly rough call involving a child to take a break, he didn’t let anybody on that call come to any calls for 2 weeks.
It never hurts to talk to a counseling professional. Especially after that.
I’m a 20 yr police dispatcher who left that life to become a RN. Thank you for all the people you helped as your time as a nurse. This happens more than people would like to think - passersby calling in that “smell.” I’m happy to give this video a LIKE and 👍.
What exactly is flight nurse with all due respect
@@Neoptolemus A flight nurse is like any other nurse except they work on an airplane and or helicopter. Most of the time flight nurses will be working in helicopters that fly to pick up people in dire need of the hospital, often very bad car wrecks
As a former cop, I know you did the right thing. Your actions are above reproach and are a credit to men today. dude..I'd adopt you if I could
Since you're a former cop ill ask you for your opinion. He said it was a crime scene, do they do that for natural deaths?
@@bella42291 I suspect they handle it like a crime scene until it proves to be otherwise.
@@bella42291 like the person above me said, it's just until it's proven to not be a crime scene. Whenever/wherever a person is found deceased, it's considered a crime scene until it is cleared and an investigation proves if it was an accident, natural causes, homicide, etc.
@@bella42291 current cop here: it's a crime scene until prove otherwise..... Most are natural deaths but if it's unwitnessed and hospice is not already involved then it is considered a crime scene until proven otherwise
@@sommerjordan2503 thanks. I was wondering because my wife works as a nurse for hospice patients and this happens often.
You were extremely respectful, observant, professional and kind hearted. Because of your efforts,, your stopping gave dignity to a soul that was unaccounted for. Your strength of character went beyond the norm and for that allow yourself feelings of good and positive energy to enfold your good double deed. Blessed be..... your efforts acknowledged a earth bound soul and set it free. Thank you....😢😊❤
My husband owns a construction company. He has found a customer deceased in a home he was remodeling. He was glad he found her and not one of her family memebers but it was hard on him. God bless you for helping the community.
How tragic that it took a stranger doing a good deed to notice this person even existed at one time. Thank you for being such a great person in a world that is often uncertain. Congrats on the new arrival. You deserve all good things!
Had the exact same thought... took a stranger doing a good deed to find out this happened. It's really sad that not one of the neighbors came to check on this person when things started getting overgrown, etc. I can't blame them, I'd probably make the same assumptions with the way things are now. Back in the day, everyone on the street knew each other and the busy bodies didn't miss a beat. Now it's either face-in-phone and see nothing around you, or see everything and keep it to yourself. Crazy upside-down world.
@@maryl3301 Maybe they did, but if no one answers, how far are you willing to go? (wandering around peaking in the windows could end badly.) That is why police will do "wellness checks". For the record, when a bank forecloses on a property, they tend to take care of it. Letting it get overgrown like this is a magnet for criminal activity. (when he said he smelled something, I immediately went "meth".)
You were simply doing an act of kindness, not only for the owners of the house; but, you were also helping the neighbors and neighborhood! I'm so sorry that you had to have such a sad discovery on a great day! However, you did the right thing by call the police and notifying them of the smell, and the windows all open! When the police arrived, you went and spoke with them, waited as they asked you to do, and then you filled out the paperwork they gave you!. I know you would've liked to finish the job you started; but, with the police finding a deceased person in the house, and you said it was now a crime scene, the police probably didn't want anything disturbed, even grass clippings in the driveway! You did an excellent job, called the police with your possible suspicions, worked while you waited around, and that's all you could've done! It's a sad world, and very unfortunate for you that day. I'm sure your wife was upset when you told her also. Both of you are very good samaritans! Hope this case has been resolved, and you're feeling much better for where you were and what you did that day. May God bless both of you! ❤🙏❤🙏❤
Anytime someone dies outside a hospital or care setting the police are called out and the scene is treated as a crime scene until it's determined not to be. Thank you for the good work you're doing on behalf of the community.
Its a procation incase is something wrose
The thing that made it actually suspicious is the fact that someone purposely opened all those windows, and the body was still in there.
Pretty sure the person didn't open all the windows to air out the house after they died.
Finally, some common sense! It very well could be the family knows of this death and is collecting SSRI or something instead of reporting the death. That might sound a bit far flung but put the pieces together and you have someone who knows there's a death in there and is airing it out. And no family has reported a missing relative. The windows being opened and a body inside is certainly reason for calling it a crime scene.
@@YoursUntruly That’s what I’m thinking unless they passed on a beautiful day and had the windows open
This is my first time watching one of your videos. I like that you talk about the tools you use. You are doing great things for both individuals and communities. By cleaning up abandoned properties you help prevent criminal activity in the neighborhood as well as pest control. It's sad that you were the one to discover a deceased person, but it's good that the family would not have to wait any longer to know where their loved one had gone to. Your compassion touched my heart. Bless you and your family.
Now the family wont have to worry about the lawn too. Thank you for what you do !
I think the deceased would be happy to know that even though they passed away alone there is some sense of dignity maintained. By having the yard look so beautiful as they are removed from their home this provides a certain level of respect and honor.
I was a CSI for 6 years and still work in evidence. Thank you for doing the right thing and calling it in. A lot of people would have just left, not wanting to get involved.
That's bullshit. I can't believe thats the mentality of most people
It’s not. Most people call fuzz for that. Half time they call police when they were the murderer.
If the scene was a crime scene, is there potential liability for destroying evidence on the property? 🥺
@@Blake22022 is not... you are 100% right, this is bullshit haha a lot of people would call the cops without a doubt
I would call anonymously. Never trust a cop
Thank you for saving the frog and also thank you for being intelligent enough to wear a respirator!!!
My first ride along with my local sheriff during high school, I wanted to be a cop, but the universe “nah be a medic” so I am that now. But for those unaware at least in California or the counties I’ve lived in, the Sheriff is also the coroner, and deputies are as well. The first call was a 44 call for service (11-44 or a 44 call is a deceased individual) the passed died of natural causes, but the spouse found them and I could see the despair and utter stress and emotion they had when they had to make the call. Paramedics were just leaving when we showed up. (Yes I’m being intentionally vague with he/she for respect). You really gave that family an unexpected gift by doing this lawn and being the unfortunate person to be first on scene. My wishes are with you, as I can imagine how traumatizing this may be given your backstory, and the family of the deceased.
As 27yr firefighter/paramedic that had to retire a few years early due to PTSD, just wanted to say a few things... First off, you presented this episode just fine, so don't worry about that, if you're still questioning your decisions. It was very respectful, and gave the audience some wise words, and the family your condolences, and didn't speak of any details that would breach their privacy, and you thanked those that deal with death often, so huge props on your edit and way of releasing this video. Second, I'm sorry for what you saw on the highway that day, and it sounds like you handled it well, I don't mean it didn't affect you, I mean you are aware it affected you. It's fine that you don't like to talk about that kind of stuff, as long as you do once in a while, there's no shame talking to a professional, and if that's not your thing, at least vent to your wife or a friend, or even a stranger on line. Trust me, it cost me my marriage, and almost my relationship with my daughter, you can bury it down deep and cover it up with alcohol or food or drugs, all you want, but it'll find it's way back out no matter what. I'm not insinuating you're doing that, but for anyone reading this, there's still a stigma around mental health issues these days, thankfully it's pretty accepted for those who have served, but with police and fire/EMS, and even just everyday people that might randomly see death or violence, PTSD and mental health issues are just as real, and parts of our society still look at getting help as weakness or shameful. Lastly, thank you for what you do, first responders and military get thanked all the time, and we appreciate it very much, but feel like we're just doing our jobs, no different than any other person, on top of that, you made it your job to give back, and help out yours and others communities, we need more of that in this country. Plus like @Dean Fischer said, a lot of people would have just left and not even given a 2nd thought or concern, to that smell, so bravo on a great job, and a great channel, I just discovered it and you got a sub for life my friend! Take Care, ✌🏻❤️
@Fk Yu Beautiful dehumanization of those who experience the same thing, pal.
@Fk Yu....Well, I'd like to respectfully disagree. About 70% of 911 calls I ran as a firefighter/paramedic were calls where police were dispatched, and on the call, so I've seen first hand how they treat people in a blighted areas, and more wealthy areas, and some I trusted with my life and am still personal friends with, others not so much. I also support defunding the police, and that the culture of being a cop, has become severely broken. The few bad apples is not accurate either for people that blindly defend that culture. It's actually accurate if the whole phrase is used, 'It only takes a few bad apples to ruin the bunch". The "culture" is a problem because, and I do believe it's the minority of cops that are truly bad and dangerous, but the culture of the thin blue line and all that, makes so that it's career suicide if you speak ill of your fellow officer, or if your a police chief that properly disciplines his men and women, or a DA that properly prosecutes bad cops, and the longer that cycle goes on the more normalized and tougher it gets to break, Defunding the police creates so much outrage partly due to poor naming IMO, and misinformation. No one is calling for lower salary or demoting officers, or go all out purge. But what happens when govt. keeps cutting social program after social program that directly impact the poor, marginalized and people of color, those people no longer have those resources and when 911 is called, if it's not medically related, it gets dumped on the police. There's no reason for two people with guns to show up for an elderly vet who's cussing through an open window because he couldn't get a ride to the VA to refill his meds. All defunding was meant to do is get rid of those few bad apples, and instead of new hires, maybe reopen some of those programs that cause certain 911 calls to be dumped on the police, and maybe invest in programs the require police departments to teach more conflict resolution and dealing with mental health care issues, instead of investing in MRAP mini tanks, and classes on how to be a fearless warrior. They signed up to be peace officers, to serve and protect, not be a warrior.
@Fk Yu ...Now as far as the military, you can't paint them with a broad brush like that, it's what they are trained to do, and like it or not, that's what it takes to have the greatest fighting force on the planet. Now if you think, why do we need the greatest fighting force on the planet, I would say today, we don't, but after WWII, the govt and DOD made a decision that our military should be strong enough to fight two major powers on different fronts, at the same time. Which made sense after that war. Problem is it created the MIC, (google it and sit back) which every aspect of our socioeconomic structure is tied in with now, and the entire world has known that no one can come near us in conventional warfare for the last 20yrs. That's why 20yrs ago many countries that are not our allies started investing in different kind of warfare, and it's already starting to pay off for them, while we can't break the cycle of throwing money at our defense budget. IMO the U.S. hasn't fought a war or been involved in a conflict that truly protected our freedoms here back at home, or did any kind of nation building, since WWII. That doesn't make it our soldiers fault though. Any good the U.S. did in other countries over the years, humanitarian efforts, rebuilding infrastructure, or just being kind to the locals and trying to lift them up instead of kick down, have been 100% the act of the boots on the ground men and women who sign up to serve. Are there some far right gun loving whackos that join, sure, but every group or type of people on the planet have X amount of folks whos reasoning and ideology are not the best, and you can't condemn that whole group for those few. War is just an extension of failed political discourse, and as much money politicians make and have invested in the business of war, they need to keep a steady supply of soldiers, why do you think we are one of a very few developed countries that don't pay for university level education, why do you think there has been a stigma on being too smart or educated or a book worm in this country for 50+years, why are so many anti-science people taken seriously or normalized? For one, the govt. wants us just smart enough to work the machines and do some paper work, not smart enough to realize there's only a small percent making all the money. The other is, appx. 65%-70% of kids that sign up to serve during times of peace do so partly or directly due to the G.I. bill. You think if the U.S. had free college, like most other countries, we'd have as many kids signing up to possibly get killed in some North African country their family never knew existed prior to them signing up? Just a thought ✌🏻💚.
Very well put , definitely talk to someone if need be ! Please 🙏
This!! I encourage you to see someone professional, Even if it’s only one or two times. I just spent seven months off of work dealing with severe PTSD that turned into seizures. They’re called PNES seizures, they are non-epileptic seizures that are caused by severe emotional stress. I also am someone who loves to work, and being off of work for that length of time was very hard on me from an emotional standpoint as well, not to mention nearly losing my home, my vehicle, and a myriad of other issues. I’m still not allowed to drive any motorized vehicle of any type, which makes it hard to do your job when you are a forklift driver. It was a combination of some of the things that I saw as an EMT, other life experiences that I had been through that had been very toxic and damaging, and then a final kick that toppled it all down. For a year before the feet seizures started happening I thought hard against breaking down but I didn’t know what I was doing, I didn’t have any coping mechanisms, and I didn’t have good support grounding. And honestly people thought I had just gone crazy. I was severely depressed and overly hyper reactive whenever someone said something off kilter. Fortunately I had a good Doctor Who recognized that I was in trouble and got me to the right people who have basically held my hand is I rebuilt my mental health over the last few months. I am now back to work, still can’t drive (cannot tell you how annoying it is to I have to ask my mommy for a ride at 43 years old!) Fortunately she has been very gracious and help me with basically everything I needed rides to and from. Work has found a temporary position for me in another department that I don’t have to drive a vehicle for. And through this whole process I have learned who my real friends are that said, well in the end it has been a very positive experience for me, I never want anyone to have to pass through this. It is hard, it is heart wrenching, and it is heartbreaking. Even if you do not think that you need help, just see a therapist once and ask her straight up for coping tips in dealing with something like what you saw.
My cousins name is Kevin Hansen. I really respect your willingness to make the neighborhood more esthetic, but most of all your willingness to call the police, instead of just taking off. That’s someone’s child, family member, and I’m sure someone somewhere appreciates that from you. Most of all your paying respect with a prayer, shows what a good person you are! Thank you for your kindness!
Your cousin has a really good name.

My husband had a similar situation. He cleaned a pool for an elderly woman living alone. One week he went over to clean the pool and saw her lifeless body on the floor of the dining room at the sliding door by the pool. It's a sad thing to find. So sorry this happened to you doing something nice for a someone. Thank you for all you did to help the situation.
I don’t know the story on the deceased , but for a lawn worker to notify the police because of a scent of death in the air saddens me. It shows this person had nobody or they would have been found . Thank you for caring
I'm a retired police officer and stumbled on this channel. You did a great service by reporting to the police. I'm impressed by your observation and attention to your surroundings. Even if it wasn't what you thought it was, it was reported to the police as a wellness check. That's one for the books, eh? Stay safe and it's alright to feel sorrow for what happened.
Thank you for your service ❤️
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service. And I agree, it's a very as situation, and I'm so glad he didn't ruin Rachel's fun time help and doing a good deed. I think this guy's an amazing and awesome human. I'm not a huge human fan, more of an animal lover, but people like this makes my heart melt a little. I just stumbled on his channel today as well, and am extremely impressed by this young man. I'm 60 and been through most of it.. (life) Again, Thank you for your service and kind words Blessings and prayers to you and your And to everyone ✨🙏🕊️🙏✨
i knew i smelled bacon
Not only were you being kind to this total stranger by cleaning up their yard, you did the right thing by calling the authorities for a wellness check. My heart goes out to the family and to you for having to relive a painful memory. Congratulations to you for the new addition coming to your family in a few months. Stay safe and well.
What a cool thing to do.
It would be pretty fked if someone just left knowing there is a dead person.
@@ridef0rlife It would be, but a suspicion isn't the same as knowing so no need to try to detract from his good deed.
@@XAJUSS Dont you know to use adblock and chrome by now? I havent watched an ad in years......
@@XAJUSS and YT decides whether or not a video is monetized and features ads. And what is it that you got against this dude that you're trying to find and dig up any BS you can, grow the fuck up and go help people before talking shit about others out there doing good.
You were brought there for a reason, and I’m sure the family will appreciate you being there so that someone could take their loved one somewhere to be taken care of. I’m really surprised that one of the neighbors on either side did not smell that smell of a rotting corpse, or they smelled it but didn’t want to get involved which is a shame that someone didn’t notice that they hadn’t seen that person outside of the home. Thank you for calling the police to do a wellness check on this person. Now this family will have peace and can lay this person to rest. You’re a kind and loving man to do this for this family. God Be with you.
You are doing Gods work here...I was a groundskeeper for over a decade.
Aside from what everyone else has stated here, I’m really surprised the neighbor didn’t notice something amiss right next door…’in foreclosure.’ Didn’t even notice the smell!? The world we live in today where the people right next door are total strangers. You, Kevin, are a special person. Peace to you.
I'm surprised too. My old neighbor wasn't home for a couple weeks, but his car was there. We called his cell and turned out he'd been feeling sick he went to the Dr and he had a stroke. He came back a couple weeks after that.
It's possible the neighbors truly did not notice it, or that the smell that reached their house is subtle enough be ignored (at least at that time). The windows of the deceased's house aren't exactly wide open and there is ample space between the adjacent houses. Decomposing fumes are volatile and light so they tend to go upwards instead of spreading sideways. Thus, the odor coming out of the (small) windows can easily be blown up by wind and away from the nearby houses.
@@Jen.E that’s being a good neighbor! Glad to hear you checked on him.
I’m glad on my little street, we know most of the neighbors (my adult son is the “go to” for rides to pick up cars from mechanic, check on the grandmother & washes her dishes for her, check on pets & property, yes he works, he’s a gamer too & home) I know the neighbors to right side & down, our other neighbors know the ones on the other side of them & down, a couple are newer to the street and haven’t quite come around (language barrier, but the younger family members speak English) and we all wave to each other, but if something were to happen we wouldn’t know right away though, I’m a mail lady out of the same office so my mailman would ask me if something seemed off, then of course I’d check it out and call)
I have never come across your channel before and I honestly don't even know how I ended up on this video, but seeing how you protected your wife and then also seeing how much respect you show for the deceased shows me how truly amazing you are as a person. I am subscribing! 💕
Amen to that!
I just found this a few days ago and I find myself coming home from work and instead of tv, I watch his stuff!!!
I agree 💯 I just found this page too.. He a good man that's for sure not too many around anymore 🙏
@@queenallie5786 wish I found him on another note, but this just shows how big heart this man has, I recently lost my grandmother and have seen some nasty scenes in the past and I can already visualize the scene inside the house just by how bad the smell was described, who knows but yeah... death is not the pretty sight but yeah... Vallhalla waits us all, see you there
He suddenly popped up on my recommended too, I’ve no idea why but I’ve watched several of his videos now and love what he does and what he stands for. It’s so lovely that he protected his wife with the cat story, that was so sweet. It’s such a good job that he called for a wellness check and the police responded so quick, at least he saved family or friends (if there are any) from walking into whatever was in the house.
That’s a hard situation for you, big hugs man thanks for all you do ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that you taught your wife so patiently.
You and your wife were meant to be there and make that sad discovery. Because of you, the deceased person could be finally taken care of properly. You are a helper in this life, a sacred role. Please do not feel bad about finding this person. They and their family who loved them, on both sides of the veil, needed someone strong and steady to make the discovery and call the authorities, and you did just that. Thank you. May God bless you and your family.
I completely agree. You could have been at any other property in the world and not have your wife show up. This was how it was meant to happen. Her being there gave you time to formulate a plan because you didn’t want here m me to see something bad and that need to protect her allowed your brain time to process. I’m so glad you didn’t just walk away because that person deserve a dignifyingy farewell. Everyone deserves to have someone out there that knows they mattered even if we didn’t know them. No one deserves to Be alone.
The craziest part is that if you could smell death in the back yard, how could the neighbors not smell that and ask questions. If I smelled that, I would have called the police immediately and asked them to come check the house because it smelled bad.
Took the words right out of my mouth. You were meant to be there.
@@cindysergott9815 got my support
@Cindy Sergott They honestly could not have noticed, he said in the video it was getting towards fall so people were probably not out as much since it would be getting cooler but not yard work time yet when the leaves fall. Also, if he didn't smell it in the back he wouldn't have noticed the smell in the front, evidenced by how he didn't notice it in the front until he went to the back and came to the front again. Either way it is good that he was there and whoever it was can be properly put to rest
I own a crime scene remediation company and also teach classes for it. I appreciate your choice in the manner you resolved the problem.
I did this for 15 years loved helping but always so sad
What is a crime scene remediation company? I would love to lend a hand/volunteer if possible. I’m looking to get into criminology & public service now so any suggestions/information would be greatly appreciated.
@@MsBanksofficial_ they clean up the blood and body fluids after murder/ suicides and such
😱
My heart goes out to you with love and light
This one was very heartbreaking and you have so much empathy for the family which you never see today. So loved watching Rachel on the mower and you teaching her and her wanting to learn is so amazing. Love you both 💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏
You made a compelling video and important discovery while apologizing for not finishing the free work you're doing. You've got nothing to apologize for, friend. I'm sorry that happened to you.
I'm a retired critical care nurse, worked CCU, ER, burn ICU and burn ER. I would have to switch to acute admitting psych, to simply change the work environment, to deal with the "burn out" that nurses get. When I saw horrific things I had to hold myself together to do my job. When I got home I cried hard. You did really well keeping it together and calling for a well check. 🙏
what does the second sentence even mean?
@@Marcus_A_Bishop typo, 'switch' was the intended word. Ty for pointing that out.
As someone who has been burned and gotten skin grafts from the knees down, (in places i was burnt to the bone) I have great respect for nurses who work in burn units. When I was there I had to leave early against medical advice. I had no choice. My 3 teens were home alone and my husband (now ex) was working away from home. Someone had to be there. One of my nurses was in tears and begged me to stay. I was very very lucky that I had a close friend who was a nurse that came home with me and did my bandage changes. My nurse in the hospital was terrified I would lose my legs. To see her actually shed tears for me, basically a stranger, showed me how much care goes into what you do. So I want to thank you because I can't thank her. I didnt think to get her name. It was a very hard time for me but her caring greatly helped my spirits. And just as a side note I am fine. I had no infection or issues. I was very lucky and lucky that my good friend knew what she was doing. Anyone who knows teenagers knows it is not a good idea to leave them alone for god knows how long. I was lucky I had someone there for the first five days. It was then that I had to go home. I would also like to say to the couple that took care of this lawn, god bless you. You have another subscriber just because I think that how you handled this was indeed respectful and what you do is so very kind. It is so good to see good people. The last few years have been trying for us all, so seeing and hearing all of this, as well as peoples stories is a wonderful thing. Thank you all.
@@tracykym9972 Ty for sharing your story. I was only 21 at the time I was transferred to work the burn unit. I had been working at Olive View Medical Center. We had a 6.6 earthquake and the hospital was destroyed. The County of Los Angeles transfered me downtown to the county general hospital. I was blessed to have a job. Many of the employees were let go. You sound very courageous. I completely understand you putting your children first. I am very glad that you had a nurse friend to help you. Teenagers will definitely take advantage of some situations. I could write a book on them, and my ex husband too. I'm 73 now, and am at peace. It sounds like you are too, I hope that you are.
Yes he did, and not telling his wife was a good thing at that house!!!
Anytime there is an unattended death it’s an automatic crime scene. I give you major credit for calling police. I’ve been a first responder for well over 20 years these things are never easy.
I don't typically comment on KZhead videos, but I just wanted to say, I hope you're continuing to do alright. You are a very selfless and kind soul, and I hope that you don't forget to take care and accept the love and support of those around you. Thank you for being you. Cheers.
Ended up watching this again since you first put it out. Just wanted to say God bless you and your wife, and thank you for what you do in helping others without expecting anything in return. In a world with so much evil, it's good for my heart to witness others that share my desire to make the world a better place, while showing the love of God through our actions. It is truly a blessing.
I work as a funeral home assistant and can attest to the pungent odour that you described. I’m regularly called out to attend police calls to unfortunate death scenes. It takes a strong constitution to collect human remains in a stage of advanced decomposition. Nevertheless, it is done with the utmost respect and compassion for the deceased and the family. It is a honour to be able to provide the family with some sense of closure and empathy. You performed your duty most admirably. Thank you.
I don't think I'd be able to do your job as I'd more than likely loose my lunch from that smell or seeing what the body looks like. You have my utmost respect for being able to do it and help the families and loved ones the closure they need.
Thank you sir. Greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the work you do, not everyone can do it.
Michael a friend of mine also works at a funeral home and goes to death calls - I have the utmost respect for all in that line of work - the empathy and kindness as well as Professionalism is greatly appreciated. Thank you for what you do.
@@badandy102 Lose as in win/lose, not loose as in loose/tight, loose leaf paper.
I left a comment about supporting you with a like and a comment at the beginning of this video then I watched the whole video and Kevin the way you treated and spoke with your wife and then at the end to see you visibly upset over a strangers death tells me a lot about you and what a caring person you are
I was thinking the same thing!! The way he handled this with his wife around was so mature and amazing of him to do despite him clearly being distraught by what he had discovered! 🥹
@@sheilaaxnicolee I was also going to tell him that he has a doppelganger, I thought my nephew opened up a lawncare business!! They could have been twins separated at birth
Yes, definitely.
this
I agree with this. Such a genuine person.
Thankyou for helping folks with all your hard work. Bless you. Stay well.😊
Watched this again. You were most respectful in a terrible situation. I can see this affected you deeply. Thank you for showing this and thanks to the first responders. They have very difficult jobs. Seeing how this affected you makes one wonder if 1st responders get the full support they need for what they see on a daily basis. Having said this, blessings to you and yours, and keep up the good deeds 😢.
You have no idea how much that you cutting there family members grass for free and then calling the authorities will absolutely mean the world to them! Once you smell death the smell can stay in your nose for days to weeks depending on the situation. Former Fire Chief and current Paramedic I admire you in what you did for this family! God bless!
I agree! There is no smell like death! It’s hard to explain. But it’s very difficult to get that smell out of ur nose and mind!
@@indatubesurfer Yes you are absolutely correct! If you know someone is going to pass or in extreme bad condition, or have passed away! DO NOT LOOK OR STARE IN THERE EYES, because it will be there in your mind forever or a very long time! God bless!
The stench of a decomp of a human body is the worst thing i have ever encountered. There is no description. Once you have smelled it you will never forget it. You will know it in an instant.
@@gingersnapjudy that is so sad omg
I use to work at a dry cleaner. One of our regular customers, Detective Ken Talbot, told me that as well. He said it stays in your nose and in your clothes. Thank you for what you have done for your community.
As a hospice nurse seeing many dying and deceased people, you handled it well. Death is part of life. I was always in awe when I could be part of that transition.
It can be an honor to be the one there and it can be heartbreaking. I was able to hold hands, pray,clean up after passing, until it was just me n pap....that one hit hard to fast, no warning just something is wrong Dee then gone.
Being a caregiver for the elderly and doing hospice when a lot of people and do what we do, but make there life feel so much better in there transition. ❤
Cathie, you and your ‘flightpath’ colleagues are rare in being there when there’s little chance of recovery. I hope I have such a one when it’s my time. As a nurse, you must be special to be able to deal long term with those who are not returned to health and go home, despite your efforts.
Wow, that is terrible. At least you found it. You seem like a great guy & your wife too. God bless you.🙏
You're a good, kindhearted guy, Kevin. Much respect.❤
Please stop saying “ I’m sorry if this offends you” for helping people out who need help. If people don’t like it, they can turn the channel. You just stay true to who you are. Thanks
I agree with you, to a point. But I think I get why he does it; unfortunately, a lot of folks that would watch/do this kinda work are the type to get cranky about that kinda crap. Edit: think I heard a "woosh" or 2, lol.
it's almost impossible to *give* offense. But all too often it is easily *taken.* There's absolutely *no* need to apologise.
that is the problem with todays world. everything offends someone. everyone has to apologize to people they have never met. its all going into the toilet.
@@ChA0s_AgeNtplease
@@elainebrusati5360 Maybe..."& thank you"? Not sure what the rules are in this game, tbh.
Thanks for doing the right thing! My mom used to take care of this elderly man and she would help him grocery shop, cook him food in a big batch for the week, and just other random things.. One day she came over and told me how she hadn't heard from him and she was worried about him because he wasn't answering his phone and that was not like him.. I had a decent relationship with him too so I told her ok let's go over there and see if we can get in, maybe he fell and is hurt or something.. So we went over there and his mail was in his box, nothing in the trash can, car in the driveway, I tried getting in all the doors but when I walked by his bedroom window I smelled something awful.. I asked his neighbor if she had seen him out on his porch or anything and she said no so I told my mom we are going to have to call the police momma.. I called then and asked them to do a wellness check, I told them they would probably need to break in so they came and did and found him deceased in his bed.. He had been there for a few days.. the worst part about it was he lived right across the street from his niece and she showed NO concern for him, wasnt worried about it and never bothered on checking on him.. She sure was interested in his money and estate once he passed though. Made me absolutely sick.. He was a good old fella and was always so nice to me when I was a young girl.. He called me skeeter lmao.. This was back in 2007 and I was 17 at the time but this always stuck with me.. Rest in peace Pug ❤❤
Sorry about the vulture but so many families are like that. They find some feeble excuses for ignoring you for decades then suddenly start circling when they smell money.
RIP TO HIM, U ARE A GOOD PERSON
Thank you for all you’ve done to not only help others by mowing their lawns but also for helping those affected by this devastating situation. Prayers of positive healing energy are sent your way. Also for your new budding family.
Oh, heck yes, this would absolutely blow the lid off of your old healing from the last experience you discussed. Thank you for sharing this video and not hiding it. This was respectful, you offered care.
Nothing wrong with being a whole person who can show emotion and still feel after seeing death. As a first responder and a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, being able to see those kinds of things and act like it doesn't bother you isn't normal. As crass as it may sound joking about it at the kitchen table after a call like that is just a way of coping and moving on. While that person may not have anyone that cared about them while they were living, at the very least you showed compassion. You took care of their property and you gave them closure. Whether it was a crime or just health problems, at least they will be taken care of.
Well said. Thank you for your service. God bless you.
I hear it's actually good to joke about it. Or it could really make you go crazy after awhile
@@saitamacraft5322 it's good in a sense that you're sharing the experience with people around you that understand. But the joking about it is only masking the trauma of seeing the things you see. For example and not to gross anyone out. One of the worst well being checks I've been involved with happened on one of the hottest days of that summer. You could smell the woman from outside. But we have a job to do regardless of the early signs. Being the least senior of my crew I was first up the stairs to the second floor of the house, I managed to end up being the only one to make it up the stairs as the smell was that bad. I could clearly see that the woman was deceased on her bed. I noticed that her face appeared to have decomposed partially. After confirming that she had passed we exited the house to discuss what steps were next for her son. We explained that police would show up to rule out any possible crime and that after he would need to contact whoever she had arrangements with to retrieve her for a funeral. He explained that he had just seen her a few days prior. But based on what I had witnessed that didn't seem possible. Until he mentioned he would need animal control for her aggressive cat. Things fell into place at that point. And now I can't trust my cat to leave me alone if I happen to pass for whatever reason. While you try to find the upside in things like that, I can still see her laying on her bed and what the cat had done to her. The smell is something you don't forget either. But I wouldn't be able to continue doing my job if I didn't make an excuse to make light of the situation.
Well said my friend. Well said.
@@Mr.Wongburger Ah ok, I think I understand
It doesn't look like you left a job unfinished, it looks like you did exactly what you were meant to do that day. And though it was of course hard on you, it was necessary, and the most compassionate, caring thing done in the neighbourhood that day. You're a good, kind man, even when it costs you. Well done.
"It doesn't look like you left a job unfinished, it looks like you did exactly what you were meant to do that day." One of the most poignant comments here, but I also think a big concern by the author. He was so concerned he was leaving without his goal accomplished. Big heart, but you did a big thing today man.
from the amount of money he made from this video he more then covered his cost to mow the yard
This is what I was coming here to say. The outside work was the conduit to his real job that day. The Universe finds a way to get the job done. Like the saying goes, nothing is done without purpose.
@@dady2439 I obviously don't know for certain, but I assume the poster didn't mean cost as in money, the KZheadr wasn't being paid anything by the homeowner, so whether they did the job or not the KZheadr didn't have a cost/loss in that regard. If anything the nature of the video would gain them views and money. I assume the poster meant the emotional cost, the KZheadr genuinely seemed bothered by the situation, most people would be. We can't smell what the KZheadr smelled, but anyone who hasn't experienced the smell of death wouldn't know the kind of gut-punch it is to stumble across it. It's a very visceral experience, running across that. Your body instinctively knows what that smell means, I feel. Not to mention everything surrounding dealing with the police, your day not going as planned, feeling sorry for the person who has passed and their loved ones, etc. Aside from all that, I don't see why so many people shit on these kinds of KZheadrs for making money doing what they do. He's helping people even in a small way, making money, and doing what he enjoys while entertaining others. It's the dream job, and I'm not gonna knock somebody for that. Good on him, I say.
@@aprilcassell317 well said and I agree.
I can tell that you’re a very compassionate person. I’m glad it was someone like you with a heart such as yours that found this poor soul. Bless you
What you do is wonderful. You have my total respect for helping others.
I was a cop in Massachusetts for 42 years, ran the dive team and did all the fatal crashes for my department (4th largest in the state) for almost 30 of those 42 years. I probably averaged 12-25 deaths a year that was my responsibility to either recover the body (Dive team) and/or investigate why it happened (fatal crashes) and it generally fell to me to inform the next of kin, since I had the most experience doing it. Death sucks and it comes in so many forms, but the family impact is the worst, as you know. I was totally impressed with the way in which you felt for the family of the person in the house, and it simply means you are a wonderful, caring person. Depend on your own family to help you through this. It'll wane but it will always have a piece of your heart. God bless you!
My grandfather went missing and passed away 2ish in MA and when the dive team found him, they did a wonderful job informing my dad and cousin who where there helping to search for him. Its never an easy job to let someone know that their loves one is dead, but when people are able to do it in such a kind way it always makes it such an easier process
@@mrselfdestruct7605 I am always so glad to hear that the dive team did a heartfelt job. In all my years it was ALWAYS about the families. That was a top rule. I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather and I have great respect for the team that made it that much easier on you and your family. God bless!
God bless you too.
Big deal if you were a cop.
@Jill Simmons thank you kindly for such dedication & service in law enforcement. Takes a special person to be an officer of the law.(not all cops are bad). Enjoy retirement.
I found my little girl passed away in her bed. It was awful. I never did get back to myself after that. My husband is active duty military and had been deployed. It’s a long story, but you’re right, death is hard. It something we can’t totally understand, so it’s scary. You are amazing. Keep your heart and compassion
May God bless you & bring you and all afflicted to peace for life!🫶
May yall find peace. Your strength is immeasurable.
I’m so sorry.
I found my dad on the couch; I can't even fathom finding a child like that, much less carrying on after. I hate that you had to go through that, but I bet you're incredibly strong ❤
God bless you Sarah. Sending love and prayer your way❤️❤️❤️
You are a good boy, thank you for making the property beautiful. Living and dying are part of life. And so you didn't do anything wrong, just something good. Now when relatives come, they see and remember a well-kept property and don't have to take care of it themselves. Thank you very much, even if I am far away in Germany.
