[@RealBelisariusCawl]

When my mum died 12 years ago, I had dreams / nightmares (depending on your point of view) that she was still alive for months. Every time I woke up was like having it all happen again. I still have dreams about her coming back to life once in a while, but they aren’t as traumatic anymore. I usually just find myself happy to be with her again, and when I wake up I’m just happy that I got the time again. The grieving process is hard and I am starting to think it never really ends. It does get less painful though, so … there’s that.

Made me cry. Heavy D and the crew are amazing human beings!!! Thank you for doing this for Wayne’s family!!! RIP Wayne!

[@thomasdaigle8894]

Dave and crew; what you guys have done for a stranger is by far one of the greatest things of humanity you could ever have done. You are all heroes thank you so much. This poor woman has lost everything and you were there for her. Thank you thank you.

[@justinlloyd3921]

I have watched your content for YEARS from the TV to utube and just when i thought you guys couldnt do anything cooler, you guys do this. Makes me speachless and greatful to know that people like you and your crew still exist!

[@bigbadjohn2543]

It's a journey or a calling only a few can do. You and your crew have done a lot for this family. The sense of relief for them to finally be able to rest.. They will forever remember you .

[@LC-gc1mt]

You guys are all to be commended to the highest degree for this type of charity work you do. Very refreshing to see the kindness and compassion you show to someone in need and dive in and give 100% of your time and talents to get the job done. My condolences to the Wirt family.

[@gichuck1522]

I do agree with this sentiment, and have heart felt condolences. What strikes me odd, being a poor aviation enthusiast is that I cant afford any aviation hobby but here they have plane(s) with magnificent hanger, land, fork lift, jeep, etc.. But no insurance, no money for recovery, and doing a go fund me to recover plane because they couldnt afford insurance & $50k recovery as we see million in assets? Weird. Guess thats how the rich be rich...

[@flynic3]

Pretty amazing to see the Patey brothers working along side Heavy D and crew to help a fellow aviator’s family… Aviation community is one of the best out there.

As a priest, it is part of my role to offer closure and comfort to the family by offering the respect that every person is due, particularly at the time of death. It is a true ministry to offer what you have offered this family. Blessings to you for this difficult work. It is not surprising that you experienced such peace in doing so. May God bless and others who have cared for this family.

[@fortnitetrashcan8308]

God bless you

[@Will-eo8wd]

The more videos I watch from your crew, the more I realize you guys mean what you say. You care about people you’ve never met and never will, you just want to make the world a better place. Bless you guys.

[@RobertForslund]

Now THIS is what being American is all about! Taking care of your fellow countrymen and women without hesitation! I just wished that more could be like you guys, and those who do things like this without much recognition get that recognition and be saluted as nothing but genuine heroes! Keep up the amazing and honorable work guys! 🙂👍 ❤

[@brentonmcclean3647]

I totally agree

[@jamiemccomb3879]

Imo, it has nothing to do with being American and everything to do with being human

[@gamershadow1]

American is the family having to rely on go fund me to recover the body. Just ridiculous.

[@ThatTracyJuneStafford]

Now this is what being a HUMAN is. 🙏🏼

[@FallenDiamond52]

I agree but you forgot about the guns

[@danielwatson6373]

What an awesome example of empathy, kindness, unselfishness, and compassion! Thank You!

[@wandabaquedano2451]

Kudos to all the kind men and women who worked to rescue this pilot's remains and his plane and personal belongings in such a respectful manner.

[@Gearhead720]

The size of Dave's heart never seizes to amaze me. You and your team are amazing human beings!

[@davevoorhees5994]

My dad was killed when I was 13 years old, I watched my poor mom suffer through loosing her best friend and husband. The grief and difficulties were so hard. What you did for this family is extremely amazing.

[@SSTANDLEY3557]

I sat here and cried. Thank you for helping that family. I can't believe they were going to charge them so much money to get him off the mountain. You all completed a challenging but rewarding task and bent over backwards to help a lady recover her husband's remains in a very short amount of time. 💝💝

[@ddselvig]

I had tears welling up in my eyes at the end, too. What an act of human kindness!

[@jamesallen92]

Awesome job! Continue doing gods work @heavydspark!

[@Believeagidiogun8669]

Hello I guess you must loving watching sports?

[@MichaelHiggins-y8i]

Your peace and comfort is no mistake that gentleman died by the sounds of it doing what he loves And you seem to be doing what you love this stuff doesn’t happen by mistake

[@lindabriggs5118]

I absolutely 💯 Love you guys. You jumped right in and helped the family without hesitation. Thank you, everyone: NTSB, the Sheriff's, the crew, the US Forest Service, and all who made that recovery happen. My condolences to the family for their loss.

[@JOltmann0789]

Dave and his team are exceptional people. Real life heroes.
