First Job After Losing My Dad. He's Watching Over Me. Love you Dad

This has been the most difficult week of my life. I stayed with my Dad in the ICU as he left this world and went to Heaven. I know we posted that we weren't going to release a video this week, but like my Dad taught me, it may not be easy, but life must go on. This was a difficult job, emotionally, but I believe Dad was there with me, coaching me, guiding me, watching over me. My dad was taken to be with God on 11/9/2021. This video was filmed, edited, and produced on 11/11/2021. This video will be released on 11/12/2021 and we will lay my Dad to his eternal rest on 11/13/2021. The outpouring of support from my viewers has been overwhelming. Even though this job and this video were difficult to make, I believe I needed to do both as part of my grieving and healing process. A very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taking the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!! www.paypal.me/RotatorRon

Ron there is no need to apologize for the loss of you father, it is a tough time for anyone to lose a loved one. I'm pretty sure most of us who watch your channel know the pain you are going through. My condolences to you and your family, and I am terribly sorry for your loss. Stay strong and keep your head up. May God bless you and guide you home safely everyday.

[@billz4071]

My deepest heart-felt prayers to you, Ron on the passing of your dad. It is VERY difficult to lose you father, probably the most difficult when you work so closely with him. I lost my dad in 1979, who also happened to be a mechanic and had two tow trucks, a gas station with service garage. You are very blessed to know you will see him again one day. The pain here will lessen, but will be felt in your heart for a long while. The peace that God places at our feet helps each day to provide strength to carry on with life here, and knowing that your dad is face to face with his Lord and Savior. Praise His Holy Name for the Salvation He provides us here on earth. I am praying for you and your family for strength and healing as the days pass by. May God give you the strength to do what you need to do here both in your daily work, and your testimony of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

[@TheRealTronGuy]

Ron, you have my deepest condolences for your loss. Your dad did a father's most important job well: he raised a fine son. He will live as long as there are people who remember and love him.

At 8:38, where’s Ron’s just opening the control panel, he says “we can do this” twice. You can hear the emotion in his voice. Then at 33:48, he says quietly after seeing bald eagles: “um...all right, pull yourself together Ron”. Another touching moment. My sympathies to the family on this loss. Let’s just hope there’s no wrecks in his service area on Saturday when the services are, and that others will pitch in to give a tow truck escort if desired.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I am so sorry to hear this, Ron. Back in March, 2018 I came on here and vented about losing my mom at the time, and you replied with sound advice for dealing with the pain, and offered many words of encouragement, for which I'll be forever grateful. I remember you said, "It's ok to grieve, but don't let it consume you." Excellent advice - you are a wise man. I personally think jumping right back to work is the best thing you can do to keep your mind occupied - doesn't mean you forget about your dad, but that you concentrate on the day to day, and later, when home your with family, you can continue grieving. As I have learned, time is a healer, and faith in God is also a gigantic help. You know full well your dad will walk beside you the rest of your life, and you also know full well where he went, so take comfort in that. You've been such a blessing to all of us fans that I don't think words can convey that. Hopefully our collective support will get you through this tough time. We love you, brother! Stay strong, hug your kids and your wife, and continue on the Right path of devotion to the King of all kings. God will guide you through. May God continue to bless you and your family, and protect you all, and guide you through this difficult time. And THANK YOU, Ron, for being an inspiration to all of us!!

[@damianmartinez6086]

Thank you for posting this Ron. My dad also means the world to me. The strength you have exhibited this past year with your loss has inspired me that one day I too can make it through the day when my joins the heavens. Thanks for all you do Ron.

Dear Ron, I love this poem. I found it years ago when my dad died and it brought me comfort. He is Gone by David Harkins You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all he's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. ❤️

Ron, just remember tears are a way of releasing stress and pain. If you didn’t show emotion we would worry more. Tears are part of the cleansing process. You showed great poise. Using the white line to anchor the boom and prevent shock loading the boom shows your understanding of potential problems. The guy was helpful, and he knew some about rigging, probably part of being a flat bed driver. That guy would have been better off with two trailers in a B-train, but he made it work with your help.

[@thomassmith4022]

The Eagle is the icon of the spiritual side of a lot of things. I taught Sunday School on a Reservation to a number of Native American kids. One Sunday about 10 years ago the weather was so clear and warm that we decides to take the kids to the top of a hill behind the Res. Church. The lesson was about Gods Spirit, and how He would appear as anything He wanted to. As we were praying after the lesson one of the kids said, "look Pastor," and pointed behind and above me. It was not a Bald Eagle, but a Tawny Eagle. The majestic bird flew twords us and the turned a complete circle over us, and looked at us, as if to say, AMEN, and then continued on His way. What a lesson, what a day. God is good, all the time. God Bless.

No need for apologies... I lost My Dad December 25, 2021. It's really something... the things Our Fathers have taught Us... just wishing We could hear them to give some more good advice. They might be gone and the hurt still there, but they're not that far away...We will see them again. God Bless You and your Family and keep on helping those 😢 in need. After All, that's what God put Us here for. Have a Blessed Day 🙏🙏🙏

Dear Mr. Pratt, Never feel bad about showing your love for your Father. Life does go on but the grieving is very important to the soul. Know your Father is walking with our Lord and praising him in glory. All my prayers to you and your family. May God's loving peace come over you all and sustain you till you meet your Father in heaven once more. ❤&🙏

[@leelusby]

You have my condolences for the loss of your father, the amount of pain in your voice brings me almost to tear for you. If I lost my dad right now, I don’t know what I would do. For me my dad is my idol and we have a great relationship. I’m very sorry again. And maybe god bless you sir!

[@anthonypatten9721]

Hands down love the tribute to your beloved father. I thank him for being such a great teacher and raising a man that is my KZbin role model thank you Ron!

[@brianmassey5897]

Hello Ron, you and your family have my deepest condolences on your loss. Losing a parent is the toughest thing all of us will have to go through. I recently lost my mother and can feel your pain. I would agree with the eagle that it was a sign from your dad. Best of luck with all your endeavors and love watching your videos. P.S. your dad looking down as proud daddy!

[@defresh1954]

Hang in there Ron, he's still with you and always will be. It's been over 10 years since I lost my dad and I know he is still watching over me. Don't be embarrassed about showing your emotions.

[@geoffmackley]

My condolences to you, Ron, and your family during this difficult time. May God bless and comfort you and your family. And no need to apologize for being emotional. It's a perfectly normal reaction, given the situation. Virtual hugs for you and your family, friends and colleagues. 🙏❤

[@keithhill77]

Mad respect Ron. It is tough I've been there brother. Mine passed in 2017. My dad taught me how to work. God, family then the job. My dad would have said I'm good son, you take it from here. Cowboy up boy. You have done that sir. I'm sure you will continue to lead like Mr. Pratt would have planned for you to do. God bless yall, prayers. 🙏

[@roadsiderob]

Ron you're such a great guy and I have learned so much from you in my recovery business and roadside service! From winching techniques and redirecting using snatch blocks pulleys straps hooks and ratios to safety equipment and communication and kindness! I am truly sorry to hear about your loss in the loss to our community God bless you your family and your dad who is definitely watching over you.... As always we will keep watching!

[@stevenferris901]

Ron, thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time. Your Dad not only taught the business but also taught you how to show compassion to others. The respect and concern for others that you show while helping others out of difficult situations is inspiring. Thank you and God Bless.

[@jeffbourne5620]

Ron, a lot of us have been where you are right now. we feel for you my friend. Remember were he is going and who he will be with. The hurt will slowly go away and be replaced with memories you will treasure. The tribute at the end was very nice. God bless you and your family.

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Your dad is proud because you are going ahead with life doing what he trained you to do, helping people and keeping the business running. Greif is hard but the joy of knowing he is watching . Havagudun Ron and just keep on keeping on.

[@jblake189]

So sorry for your loss Ron! I know the feeling as I lost my Mom a couple of years ago.

[@renee9113]

❤️ Sending love your way from New Zealand. Condolences 💐 to you and your family.

[@mylvan]

Ron, my deepest respect for going on with your job after one of the biggest losses in life.

[@Psychli]

We are all with you and your (extended) family during this time that I’m sure are all mourning this loss. It’s a small consolation knowing that you were able to work with your dad and provide an extremely valuable service to your community, that nearly everyone can appreciate and respect. It doesn’t have to be said that the both have you have accomplished a great deal together. Regardless of how strong our faith is, it is still always difficult waiting for the next time we meet. Praying for you all. ❤️

[@fourdoorglory5945]

Thoughts and prayers still with you and your family Ron. I’m sure your Dad was very proud of you-now you carry on his legacy and build your own as you teach the next generation and keep helping people.

[@Trooper1475]

As the other viewers said, Mr Pratt, there is no need to apologize. Your father left here knowing that you love him and you heed to his teachings. He also left here seeing his son become an hard working adult. Those are the best gifts a father's son can give their father just by simply living a good clean fruitful life.

[@kevinwilson2090]

Ron, we extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your Dad. For me watching your channel is about a FAMILY owning a business that is honest, hardworking and sincere and your emotions reflect those values your Dad instilled in you. We ask GOD to watch over you and your family this week.

[@doublel7337]

I am so sorry Ron to hear of your dad's passing. The last time I remember seeing him on a video he was carrying your grandson. I am so happy he got to spend some time with him. I know it's hard, my dad passed away when he was 72 years old and still working everyday. May God will give you and the entire family Peace and Comfort in the days ahead my friend.

[@gorillaau]

My dad's father passed away when I was two, I wish I could have met him as apparently He was a great character, quiet but very genuine. Is it okay to miss someone you never knew?

[@JohnHallgren]

Yes, I also remember that video with his great grandson. That’s one advantage of technology these days in that not only are there photographs of people and family who have since passed but video of them as well. And to gorillaau, yes it’s okay! I miss my dad who died when I was only eight, and unfortunately lost all memories of him shortly thereafter. He had ALS so was bedridden for some time before. I am now the only surviving member of family so don’t have anyone to ask about things.

[@GM8101PHX]

@@gorillaau Yes it is, my sister also did not know our Dad, we went to Ft. Sam Houston so she could see his grave site, I had been there once before. We live in Arizona so it was a 2 day drive to go to San Antonio Texas where he is buried. Tears flowed freely as we stood at his grave side. Love does not know boundaries or time.
