Not gonna lie...this old man had tears in my eyes watching him unwrap that truck...THANK YOU ROBBIE and crew for being superb people and doing this for this young man...

[@charlesglandon7840]

That's exactly what I was going to write I had to watch again after wiping my eyes I'm 73 and this was so nice of Robby and all that was involved with this awesome project. Merry Christmas to all.

[@aaronlazar1544]

What an awesome thing you did for that family! You guys are the best

[@truenaturestormers2525]

Me too brother, me too Merry Christmas.

[@wimvandesteeg1353]

yeap, this not so old man had the same, Aiden doesn't say much, but his eyes tell a lot, same with his pretty sister, and mom, this must be some blessing for them, LOVED the footage at the end, thats they are able to get out, and enjoy life, Thx Robbie and team!

[@retiredandrollin]

Coming from someone who lost his father at the age of 15, I'm 56 now, I can tell you that Aiden is hurting and will be for a long time. You guys did something for that young man that will ease some of that pain and teach him that there are still good people left in this cruel world. God Bless you Robbie and Team for making this a special Christmas for this family. Love your channel and love what you do!!

[@davepelfrey3958]

Retired and ROLLIN', 💯 % AGREE. Great comment. Love this Amazing team. ❤️

[@travisbohannontboogleplano6751]

Well said. I lost my father at 20 years old. I'm now 77 and still think of him everyday. Aiden seems to be a very quite young man, but I have to believe he is bursting with pride and joy to get a piece of his father back in the form of this truck. Robbie, you and your team are phenomenal and all around great human beings. Thank you for such a wonderful story. Merry Christmas to all of you. Keep up the great work.

[@grisslebear]

Lost mine at 25. It's never easy, but the younger you are the harder it hits.

[@misseselise3864]

my mom died when i was a completely independent 20 year old & it took two years for me to start truly believing that things would be ok. so i can’t imagine how awful it must be to lose a parent when you’re still fairly dependent on them

[@davidacton7937]

I really felt for Aiden. I can just imagine the stress of being a 16-year-old and being the centre of attention in this way, it must have been overwhelming for him. He is obviously a quiet, introspective young man who must have been experiencing so many emotions, all with a camera pointing at him. I am sure he was bubbling with gratitude and excitement on the inside. I hope he keep the truck forever.

[@1one3_Racing]

Seeing how the rest of this video series played out, yeah. Robby should be ashamed of using this tragedy to gain followers and views. But I mean, he idolises Dave Sparks who is the king of exploiting terrible situations to suit himself.

[@rustynail2205]

To all the companies and people who helped to sponsor/build this truck, I/we want to say thank-you. That, along with the countless hours the Layton crew put in and the Layton gear that the viewers bought to help fund the project. It will never bring back a father and a husband, but it is an amazing tribute of a family’s loved one and it will be a part of their lives forever.

[@iowafarmer5418]

AMEN!

[@dylangandy2530]

I lost my grandfather recently and was blessed with his baby he called a truck after his passing. I literally parked every vehicle I own and drive his truck everywhere I go. It's like having a piece of him with me every ride. I can imagine how Aiden feels, the serenity and peace of just driving the truck. Thank you guys for being such great individuals and bringing the truck back to life for him. He will forever be grateful

[@mrfunnylookinhayes9088]

Praying for you and your family young man. And yes you got the tears going too. Take pride in it.

[@LarryYaw]

I have the Yukon that belonged to a man that was like a father to me. It's getting long in the tooth but I will keep it on the road as long as I can draw a breath. I am hoping my son will want to keep it. I totally understand how you feel.

[@jamezbrian4135]

I took over the payments of the vehicle my dad drove when he passed.

[@TheDogLife5225]

Thank you all. Sincerely!! Aiden had his guard up and I am certain he was holding back a flood of emotions, I would hate to play poker with that young man. The montage at the end captured it beautifully! Seeing him and his sister out being young and having fun was heart warming and you guys made it possible. The shot of your crew watching the truck drive away was so powerful, with mixed emotions of "Thank God it's finally over" and "I hate to see it go". God bless you all, including all of the viewers who did what they could to help make it happen. Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this!

[@MIKEH.777]

Merry Christmas to you and your family also my friend. My God Bless you and your family in this holiday season

That young man holding back tears is something. He will forever be grateful. Great work guys.

[@hustlinghard8081]

Man, this is probably one of the best things I've seen on KZbin. Most things you see is ppl just throwing some money at an item buying it and giving it to someone but yall literally built this truck from the ground up. Every nut, bolt, wire, plug, ect was touched and redone by you guys and then everyone else that donated all their talents, equipment, and time to helping this stranger that they never met. The world is a beautiful place and all we have to do I just look for the good thats out there vs looking for all the bad that we all do now. God bless you guys and Aiden and his family. Hope he enjoys it as much as we enjoyed watching it.

[@fangoriously1]

When Cody was telling Aiden, "it's a truck, use it". That's when It hit me in the feels. (When men can talk real, and share a common connection like that. It's special) Great job team. Irrational kindness. Keep it up

[@randalltufts3321]

Thanks to all who helped give back to a well deserving young man. The quiet look of responsibility as an older brother who's lost his fathers guiding influence is well apparent. Its a lot for a young man his age to bear. He will need all the love and support he can get as well as the rest of the family. Thanks to all the crew and supporters who were a part of this for getting this project across the finish line. Well done gentlemen. Well done 👏

[@woodrowcall3269]

Well said.

[@1one3_Racing]

He's a man of few words and zero emotion. My kind of guy!

[@AlWorth9738]

Same here. I've been put on the spot too many times myself. And people get really upset when you're not a chatterbox... but I get it. I've always been that way. I've even missed out on a lot of possible opportunities because I can't spew a never-ending line of nonsensical gibberish. I can type some nonsense here but, in person, I'd say about four words. I could go for weeks without uttering a single word... and I've done that. :)

[@javi_wells]

I’m pretty sure Aiden is holding back a flood of emotions and memories. Enjoy the ride Aiden; now you have your father closer. Thank you Robbie for this Christmas video!!! Also thanks to all the viewers, the supporters, and the businesses who sponsored to make this project a reality. And a big applause to the whole crew involved particularly Robby, Demri, Big Dinner, Hillbilly, and Cody. You guys did a great job and the payoff is so powerful. You guys have a great heart.

[@robinhadley]

Love it. I can understand why he would be so quiet. It's a lot to take in plus being on camera would make most people nervous. I'm sure he appreciates every bit of work that went into rebuilding this truck.

[@MrThorp1]

yeah, a lot of emotions going on there. extreme happiness about his truck met with equal amount of sadness and grief for his father. You can feel both to the extreme but they somehow balance out to a strange zero on the surface.

[@01spaz]

I was thinking the same thing, I'd be seriously excited. You would damn sure know it! LOL

[@MrCheaterpipe]

Sad that even today people are still not recognizing why this kid isn't smiling this kid is showing the classic signs of autism or asbergers

[@Farbar1955]

He's sixteen, he's on camera, he misses his Dad, he doesn't know yet if he deserves any of this. I don't know if I could express myself adequately enough either. I hope we see Aiden back on the show at some point to get an update and I'd like to see if a detailed list of the original parts could be posted. Having the same steering wheel that his Dad touched and turned would be very important to me so I'm glad Robbie and crew could reuse it.

[@jackfoubert.]

When I lost my father when I was 15, It took more then a year before I laugh or smile, He's doing just fine.

[@graememckay9972]

Quiet gratitude and appreciation in this day and age might not translate to social media but it seems more genuine and heart felt. That young man has been given a start that he needs after loosing his father. I hope he makes the best of it.

[@BitBuhkit]

@@djemcee Everybody is different and deals with emotions differently. Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out he shared more in private.

[@donlarsen9807]

Robby, you and your crew along with your connections have accomplished a great deed. The giving back makes everyone involved a better person than many. I hope this young man has learned from the experience that when you get the opportunity pay it forward. I've innocently helped people in need and when asked for info so they could pay me back, my response is always the same. When you can just do the same for someone else. You and the people who you are involved with are some of the best people in their communities. Keep doing what you do because in my eyes you and yours are the best at your jobs. It all comes down to doing what you love and it shows! Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

@@robertfore7815 i can see both sides i guess! Yea he wasn’t as excited or over joyed. But he did loose his father and they all had cameras on the 16 kiddo. He looked happy to drive it in the after videos. But he’s just a kid

[@wynottgivemore9274]

Yes I hope he and the sis ,but especially him gets proper counseling, I found his lack of any emotions troubling. Yes be said thanks and thank you, but not even a chuckle when the Grinch tried to steal Christmas...something isn't right. Even with all the other stuff going on. Wish him the best,but I hope he gets that stick out of his arse...

[@DepletedWisdom]

I was a very shy and awkward teen a very long time ago. Don't hold it against Aiden being as reserved as he is being. It can be weird being filmed and being the center of attention when you are not used to it and don't want the attention. I could tell he was grateful. Top that off with all the emotions of being his late dad's truck. He did great.

[@dsma2023]

Kid's 16. I'm not sure what kind of reaction people want. Must be too used to reality TV. Lol

[@quartfeira]

You know, may be a cultural thing but I had an hard time understanding what his real emotions were. I think you're right, and I also think he needs some time to fully process the entire thing... but has been so beautiful and heartwarming seeing again the entire process. Merry Christmas

[@laurenday633]

Well said. We live in a world of engineered reactions. This seemed like a genuine reserved kid, probably overwhelmed by everything going on. Quiet but grateful. Nice work Robby and Crew! Merry Christmas everyone, Aiden, enjoy!!

I'm 57 years old and my pride and joy is the 1968 GTX 440 4 speed that my dad left me when he passed away from cancer. He's been gone now for 38 years and i'm sure that this truck will as priceless to Aiden as that car is to me. All these years later and i can still feel his presence riding with me every time i take it out for a drive especially when it's just me and him. He bought it when it was brand new and i can remember a thousand times that he drove me around in it. Since he's passed i've gotten to drive him around. I hope that this truck brings Aiden as much joy as my dad's old car has given me. I think calling it a car is wrong though, it's like family to me. Thank you guys for doing this for Aiden and his family and helping to preserve a part of his father that he can not just feel in his heart but touch with his own hands like his dad did. You guys are amazing people. I pray that God helps heal Aiden and his family's pain and sorrow. I also pray that God will reward you for doing this for this family, not that you would ask for it but because you all deserve it.

You can see the emotion in Aiden’s face it’s in between joy and also re living his families tragedy Robbie you guys have done something so kind in helping this young man and we need more of this in the world 🌎 oh and dinner and hillbilly are great too

[@dewayneshondee7197]

This is a great example of some folks trying to make a difference in a world that has lost it sense of humanity. Thank you Layton nation for all that you do to remind him s that doing what you can does make a difference. God Bless all y'all.

All the work and support that went into rebuilding this truck is another manifestation of "it takes a village to raise a child". Aiden is a young man, not a child but the community came together for him. Great job Robby and the whole team. Merry Christmas.

All of you at Layton Auto Body are awesome as individuals and as a team! We love that you all put in the time, effort, energy and money to do this truck for Aiden and his family...it turned out spectacular and we can tell how much Aiden loved it! Keep doing what you all do...having fun, recovering vehicles and helping others, fixing, working on, upgrading, bodyworking and painting things with engines. And of course, a big thank you to everyone who donated parts and labor (yay Fab Rats!) to this good cause for Aiden's family.

STOP TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE ON ROBBY'S ACCOUNT, JERK!

Thank you Robbie and everyone that has helped in this rebuild. I have followed this rebuild since y'all picked up this truck. Robbie layton I am so proud of you and your team for what y'all did for this family. Sorry if there are any mistakes in typing but it had to see the keyboard with tears in these 59 year old eyes.

[@archstanton3636]

That was truly amazing. Thanks for taking us on this journey, and your Christmas timing was impeccable. I'm sure one day Aiden will get the words to tell you how meaningful this was, I'm sure this will have a huge impact on him.

[@s.cottrill]

Robbie you and the whole crew are just awesome people. You bright tears to a 40 year old man with this one. That young man their is going to be able to have all the memories that him and his father made in that truck and also continue to make more with his dad looking down on him from up above. Keep up the great work you guys do nana Merry Christmas

[@geraldeby7600]

I just saw this video for the first time, and I have to admit I have tears in my eyes!! To Bobby, the crew, and all who helped by donating the parts and your time with the build, you guys are amazing. My heart goes out to this young man and his family because of their loss. They now have something, along with other memories, by which to remember a husband and dad. You all did an awesome job with the restoration. May you guys feel blessed for your contribution.

I hope Aiden and his sister have millions of smiles on the truck. As a father of 2, now adult, children, I can’t stress enough to ALWAYS wear your seat belt. No exceptions, no excuses. My dad was in a serious car accident when I was 14. Lucky for him, he walked away from it. From that day since, I put my seat belt on before the car moves. It was a rule I passed to my kids. The car can’t move until we buckle up.

[@barryhumphrey153]

Merry Christmas to Aiden and his entire family. The first Christmas without dad is tough for the entire family and lord knows they need some folks like you to help with the memories that will come flooding back as they see the truck and all of the old memories had by all. You guys are amazing and thank you for doing this for them. As was already said it sur did bring a tear to every ones eyes as it did to mine.

[@bobtucker8875]

What you guys did was amazing, what a blessing for the family. Thanks for all your time an goodness. Everyone is truly blessed. This will come back to everyone in great numbers of good faith. It's been very injoyable watching this project come together, an seeing what good hearts you all have. Be blessed one an all. Happy New years.

[@GO-xs8pj]

I hope Aidan has a great life and spends many happy hours in his truck. You guys helped soften the pain of losing his father.

[@joshuaphillips47]

Aiden was holding a lot back by the looks of it. Robby and crew are awesome for doing this for him and I hope he drives the hell out of that truck remembering his dad everything he hits that key. This grumpy old vet ain't crying you are
