My dad is buried several plots away. Thanks for visiting! FYI, legendary pro wrestler The Crusher is also buried here. They set up a wrestling ring for his funeral!

Poor guy from playing football back then, he must have been in constant pain, and after some point, sometimes the medications don't work like they used to. Rest in peace Slothy.

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

So true. Long term pain killers can cause health problems aswell. Sometimes people get tired of the pain.

[@jeremeymiller3406]

Totally agree not to mention he played the most violent position too as a lineman your getting hit every play and that was an entirely different era the protective equipment wasn’t as good the rules werent catered toward protecting high value high dollar players it was smash mouth dirty football at its peak it was also an era where they knew nothing about concussions and TBI and also then drugs and steroids were rampant in the locker room looks the NFL didn’t start any kind of testing till 1987 so those guys were doing whatever taking whatever and getting injected with whatever that would keep them in the game even if they were hurt now head injuries are taken much more seriously because these players are such a massive investment and the massive $760 million lawsuit they had to pay out back when I played when you got your bell rung you might sit out a play or series and your right back in I’ve actually have heard of college and pro players will grab another area of their body when they do get hit in the head to hide the head injury or concussion because they don’t want to come out and likely miss multiple weeks after so they hide it. No doubt in my mind he had CTE and his body was probably shot from all the wear and Tear he probably needed the medication just to function after all that that’s crazy though never knew he was a #1 overall that’s impressive for a lineman still so young though RIP

[@GraveVisitations]

Hey You Guyssssss from Ireland 🇮🇪😁 thanks for remembering John. One of my favourite movies growing up.

[@slowsteadysqueeze4246]

I feel bad for his parents. It looks like they lost both John and their daughter within 2 years of each other. They outlived their kids which is never easy I'm sure.

[@billwe5772]

Look up the Von Erich wrestling family they had 7 kids 6 died and 5 within 3 years

[@earningzekrom4173]

RIP RIP

[@alangravley9574]

@billwe5772 Man that brings back so many memories. They were such a cool family. But the losses were just tragic and almost unbelievable. On the upside, I will never forget meeting Fritz when I was a kid. He used to come into my father's hardware store all the time. Funny story, but one Saturday, Fritz had "borrowed" the live bear that they wrestled with sometimes. We saw him get out of his vehicle and he was laughing hysterically as he walked into the back door of the barber shop across the street. I had never seen so many grown men, yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs as they fought to get out the front door of that place. He bought the bear by later and the thing was just like a gigantic dog. Thanks for the reminder of the good ole days!!!

[@randywoodworth5990]

Back in the late 1960s, three Boys went to explore a cave in Hannibal Missouri and disappeared without a trace, despite a massive search in the caves and surrounding areas, they were never found, it would be a good one for you check out the locations. There's a memorial to them near lovers leap in Hannibal.

[@hearliestheglobe8423]

Thanks, I never heard of that one. Will see if anyone has done a video of it. Always interested in anything cave related.

[@LeAnimal65]

Loved this guy! My favorite John Matuzak role was in The Ice Pirates. Cheesy, but hilarious flick! He went way too soon.

[@robbiesdad1]

I love that Movie, and also Caveman, He was a great Football Player, who was becoming a great actor, as long as Goonies is playing he will never be forgotten, God Bless You JOHN

[@eily_b]

The front of the grave said mother, father, son and daughter. The parents lived to 2020 and 2013 and their children died in 89 and 91. This is so sad.

[@elizabethmeisekothen1669]

They had two other sons, also, who died years earlier

[@ShabbyTrick]

The Goonies is my all time favorite film. John Matuszak was great in the roll as sloth. He also was in Ice Pirates another great film from the 80s.

[@eye_straindigital]

This channel is such a gem.

[@Kim0301]

You made me remember my childhood. What a great way to remember him. I hope he knows he still has a ton of fans out there. ❤️Matuszak

[@glen7463]

I don’t know a single person who hasn’t seen and loved goonies I still watch it and wish I could go out for a ride on a bmx 😂 brilliant film always makes me smile

[@tonybutler8811]

Thanks for this Chris love your video’s and look forward to them coming out. RIPJohn 🙏. 👊👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@kungfew1396]

This is a wonderful tribute video, John Matuzak was larger than life and is still entertaining millions with his athletic accomplishments and beloved films. ❤

[@charitysghost1207]

The poor parents lost both of their kids in 2 years. That is absolutely terrible.

[@paulagibson2672]

I really loved that movie, I laughed & cried all the way through it!!! I felt so bad for John's character. I hate to admit this but until now I never knew who played the part!!!! He was a pretty good looking fellow & only 2 years older than me!!!! It's a shame he didn't get to live a full life!!!!

[@The_Dudester]

The "Tooz" was in North Dallas Forty, along with Mac Davis. At the wrap party, Mac was talking to the director. Tooz walked up and told Mac, "I really like your shirt." Mac gave him a quick "Thanks" and resumed talking to the director. Tooz then placed his hand on top of Mac's head and said "I really like your hair." Telling the story on Johnny Carson, Mac said "At this point I became very worried about my safety, but then Tooz laughed and walked away."

[@adenanthony5257]

I'm only 23 but my mom maybe grow up the best way possible I watched a ton of '80s movies as a kid and The Goonies is one of my all-time favorite 80s movies and I had no idea he died so young

[@Rose-Rae]

I never saw the goonies but I did see Caveman many times. He was great as Tonda.

[@rhondastrait2982]

Great movie also ❤️

[@ICDred]

Hey thanks for making this video! Definitely one of my favorite movies from childhood, and I think this character did a great job of teaching kids the age-old lesson of "don't judge a book by it's cover".

[@1martymcfly298]

He did a wonderful job in the goonies.

[@ransakreject5221]

He was better in “caveman” a forgotten classic

The Tooz. Grew up a Raiders fan in Brooklyn New York amazing in the goonies and an all time Raider

[@janesoulharding8128]

Omg I love that film but had no idea he died. We often say, 'I love you guys'. So sad xxxx

[@jeremydiamond8824]

One of the BEST MOVIES EVER!! They still do yearly get together a in Newport Oregon 😎👍🏻🦅🇺🇸

[@iconoclastic-fantastic]

the fact that he played for the raiders,, and went onto play the role of sloth who found his strength & solace through classic pirate movies (plus being given unconditional love)- god. that's poetic.

[@iconoclastic-fantastic]

also, i know it's a relatively normal thing to leave coins on graves, but i also cannot stop thinking about the wishing well scene. and it makes it that much more potent. the goonies is in my top 10 favorites of all time. and this really hit me in my feelings lol. rest in peace john matuszak

[@mikegggg222]

Sci-fi movie , The Brain that Wouldn't Die, 1962 ,the original Sloth was behind that locked door, it came out eventually,

[@youlittlerocket]

Cannot believe I've only just finished watching the goonies and this video appears in my feed

I didn’t know any of this about Sloth! I LOVE Goonies! I thought you were gonna leave a candy bar for him😂 no, but seriously cool video. I forgot he was a person , I was a kid.

Very nice tribute...

[@Lambiscon4906]

[@Bull-cat741]

This is a sweet memorial to the "Tooz". I was just watching an episode of MASH that John was in. He was great in that as well. Be at peace John 🙏🤗🌟

[@barbaraness4507]

It’s funny because although I’ve never watched a lot of football I do know some of the older football players names. My ex-husband did watch all kinds of sports, and new the players names, so I got to hear about them. John’s name was one name I’d heard on multi occasions. Then when Goonies came out I didn’t even realize who it was playing that character! Lol

[@psw4763]

Great video on this man. Thank you.

[@scottl8137]

First thing that popped into my head seeing the thumb nail was " "HEY YOU GUUYYYYS!!!" But never knew it was played by this guy? Definitely top 5 best movies growing up since I was the same age as the Goonies and loved adventures

[@AdamAloha808]

Wow…their parents outlived them. I can’t imagine the pain they must’ve went through, no one should no the pain of losing their child…

It was easier to lie about your age and get into the service,than it is today.

I went to school with his sister Dawn. Its crazy how she never bragged about John. I didnt know about him until after i graduated in "79".

[@michaelcurl9817]

I used to live in Santa Rosa, California, where the Oakland Raiders had their training camp. In the summer of 1979, the whole Raiders team showed up at Bailey Field in Santa Rosa to sign autographs. I remember an 7 year old boy saying when he saw John Matuszak, "That man is a giant."

Back in the 70's, half the Milwaukee bars could tell you stories of the "Tooz."

Died of an overdose of a prescription drug, Darvacet, a pain reliever. That's the problem with NFL careers, they leave players in pain for the rest of their lives. Never knew who Sloth was until this video.
