God Bless Brother!❤

[@Randomcharacters_]

Dude, the fact that you are taking your time to let Kevin see his baby and letting him know it has a whole new life with you.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Happy he can watch the journey

[@MikeKurzman]

Him seeing his baby being taken care of as he would definitely means the world to him. Passing on things of meaning can always be tough but just as much fulfilling with the right person getting it.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Im so happy I was able to make that happen for him

[@2003cobramustang]

So sad that he’s in hospice but you’re definitely going to make him happy! You’re the best Derek! Damn hit me hard! The support is incredible makes my heart happy! God bless Kevin and his family!

[@DerekBaranProductions]

🙏🏼

[@justincarnes3048]

That’s awesome that he got to see the car one last time. I met Kevin while working my way through college at the National Corvette Museum. He was actually nice enough to let me take Rocket for a short drive. Talk about making a young college kid feel special! He was such an amazing person.

[@Xppiredd]

Got me in my feels man. Your a great guy letting him see his baby.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Still has me in mine man :/

[@squig_ls]

Man that’s unfortunate. Sending prayers towards him and his family

[@DerekBaranProductions]

🙏🏼

[@ricshuttleworth1609]

That's impressive to see the younger guys like you doing something like this for the previous owner. It's also nice to see the club members show you their appreciation for being there. Great to see the next generation of car enthusiasts riding the neighborhood!

[@bobbyprd]

Dude there are all kinds of brotherhoods out there. The car community no mater what brand is and all ways will be strong! Everyone showing up for that was very touching! So glad he got to see Rocket again! Great job on being part of that dude!

[@austinwade9324]

Sometimes God puts blessings in our lap so we can bless others in return. Good for you for making it out there, for hanging around and talking with Kevin, and just know you getting emotional means you understand how big and important that moment actually was. That’s what makes a man a man. I hope you hugged Romina extra tight when you got home and said an extra prayer brother. This was awesome! I’m proud of you and proud for you. 🙏🏻

[@zachzachzach43]

Damn made me tear up.. It’s beautiful to be able to tell someone goodbye, but still crushing

[@michaelbutler2783]

I'm so sorry that this man is dealing with this. I have one person I know that has this also going on with them 😢. Lord give him and his family a lot of strength!

[@michaelbutler2783]

Iv just cried a little also and I'm way in new orleans with it. Damn this sucks. I'm sooo sorry!

[@michaelbutler2783]

I'm glad you made this video. You are so much a blessing bro!

[@CTSlow]

Man this brought tears to my eyes! 😢

[@brett11H]

You're a good dude Derek. Honoring the unfortunate. Need more people like you in this world.

[@BryanSalazarAyala]

This is true car culture… not the takeovers you see on the news putting us in bad light. Great job Derek

[@silversixcreations]

That’s a real OG for surprising him with the car and letting him know ur taking care of it

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Always

[@countryboy4129]

I’ll be the first to say this is the only guy on KZbin TO EVER DO SUCH AN AMAZING THING LIKE THIS !!! Giving away cars is nice and all but this is what it’s all about. I wish more KZbinr would do nice jesters such as this. It’s not always about money and content. It’s about seeing others smile especially this man. Huge/ big props for doing such an amazing sweet thing. Need more people like him in this world. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

[@seanmccarthy6992]

That’s one thing we need absolutely do take for granite is our health and we don’t live every day like it’s our last is crazy because life is a true blessing and it can be over in the blink of an eye so for you to do this for the OG owner even though he can’t really do a lot of things and see his baby kudos to you man

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Really opened my eyes man.. truly did

[@BoostedGTCS]

This is what it’s all about. Truly Heart warming. Brought tears to my eyes. Such great friends. Just goes to show the cars are the hobby but nothing tops true friendship and caring for one another inside the same community you’re in. 🙏🏼

[@teddydavid2816]

Dude this got me teary eyed too man God bless you Kevin in Jesus name.

[@BrentnNC30]

So awesome of you bring to Rocket out. Im sure that meant the world to him. Keep doing good things for people it will come back to you.

[@s650_Juan]

Damn bro got me having watery eyes😢 but happy to see you took your time to let him see his car🫡 mad respect to you and Brandon👌🏻

[@pmichael3442]

Your keeping his passion alive by allowing his dream to live on through you and in turn through us via youtube. Should the thought of the next "I Want" ever cross your mind, honor Kevin and sell snake bit..

[@jimlafreeda43]

What an absolute Blessing that they did that for Kevin and you took his car back to him 🙏. I teared up as well but as I heard once at the funeral of a great man Carl Wenger, " Don't be sad because it's over, but be glad because it happened.....

[@vwvn4056]

Didn’t think this channel would ever make me cry 😢 Love what you’re doing for the man though, I’m sure he feels at ease knowing his baby is in good hands. God bless you all.

[@JesseMarin5oH]

keeping kevin in my prayers. it was awesome that you went out to show him his baby. much love bro💪

[@2kgpgtp]

That's a amazing thing that the club and you did for Kevin!!!!

[@nbankxworld8614]

Wow that was very nice of you to let him see his car again. That’s what it’s all about giving back. 👏🏽

[@DerekBaranProductions]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Treymoneyyy]

God bless Kevin, I pray Lord that you take care of him and his family. Allow them to understand and realize its not the end for him! Good work Derek, the humility is contagious. We should all be doing more like this.

[@jennifernuckols2555]

Thank you so much for doing this for my uncle. This video made me cry so hard but such happy tears!!! Thank you!

[@lucas_s1974]

Awesome wholesome content. You have a great heart man. Brought tears to my eyes because it does definitely make you think.

[@micahbarrett9546]

Derek, you're a very good man keep it up please. The world would be a much better place with more people who cared like you.

[@Brazosfishing]

Let’s make a shirt for him with his vette on it, donation goes to his family

[@Sloneisdead]

Yes

[@emilyfox3363]

You have a kind soul to let the first owner see his baby again. I bet it made his day getting to see his car and knowing how well it’s being taken care of. God bless you! Thank you for your kindness. Prayers will be sent to his family💖

[@nathanstubblefield5124]

Man that was so awesome that you done that for him.that probably meant more to him than anybody knows.your a hell of guy derek good hearted.i can appreciate that.

[@karlemmerich6006]

Cool video man, this shows ur character so much! So nice of you to take ur time to bring a smile to this man.

[@ckslts]

I was emotional as well. Just the love on that street from all of his car buds is amazing. ALS sucks dude. Really awesome of you to show up and be a apart of a bitter sweet day.

[@jamessutherland2423]

Derek, thank you for being so humble and thinking of others during all your work. I do not know Kevin, but for you to do that for him is amazing. The world needs more people like this in it. Being part of a car community like that is great. Thanks man

[@KTYKLR-V]

Man it really hits whenever everyone came over and showed him love.. especially the picture of him when he owned the car… prayers to him and the family. And everyone that was affected. Good job man! Salute to you

[@JerryDelgado-h5o]

That’s so cool what you did for Kevin and his family! GOD BLESS your soul man.

[@Michael-CS]

Good thing Brandon works online cause that boy wouldn't survive in the Military (or Fire Services, and I'm sure other services are the same). He thinks a little Barrel Banter is rough play? He ain't see nothing! Wait till your brothers (and sisters) raz you about one thing or another. That's how soldiers show love. But heaven help anyone on the outside who brings the smoke cause the beat down is severe. I was glad to see this video Derek. Despite all the sponsors and things that fly your way you still seem grounded and that's good to see!

[@billlear5607]

This was a very heart felt video. Had me tearing up. On another note. I can see Brandon and v tune teaming up to start a new food critics channel. Lol

[@mickeygarcia2331_]

It breaks my heart seeing him like this. He does have a lot of friends. Those are real friends.

[@johnmartin6918]

Well done to you and Brandon visiting Kevin! You are truly valued and a good person for this great act. I'm sure Kevin loved seeing his C7 being well looked after :)

[@kellymeade4587]

That was a Heart tugging video…Lost my best friend since college, 2 years ago this month. Life is a gift, you realize more as you get older. Love, Live, and enjoy every minute… like its your last. Keep making All the Great memories. They will always make you laugh and smile, even when times get tough. God Bless you Man!😇

[@natedagreat850]

Genuinely hoping that those guys that were crying about you getting the ZR1 and not another Ford see this and see that brand loyalty means nothing. It's about creating a community, supporting eachother, and forming bonds with guys that will drop what they are doing in their busy lives just to show that they care and make you smile in your final moments of life.

[@BoostJunkieBrian]

Much respect bro... I'm in a similar situation... bought an 88 c4 convertible with 44k miles I mean it's no zr1 but from an older guy that bought it new and adored n babied it he fell hurt his leg to end up finding out he has bone cancer and couldn't get in and out of it any longer...it was a great thing you did...

[@VOLCE187]

God Bless You Derek and God Bless Kevin. It's only human to feel sad and sorry for someone that's nice guy who's life is cut short. Fun and awesome thing you did. Kevin is dying with happiness and pride in his heart. Praying for a miracle Kevin gets Better.

[@cfriday]

OMG This is so great! Thanks Derek for going!!

[@6SPDLS162]

My man, good on you for doing this for Kevin and his family! As a fellow car enthusiast this is the pinnacle of why the car community is so amazing. You are so right, life is short and fragile live every day like it’s your last.

[@leonhargrove6178]

The story and all the people showing up really made me 😢. God Bless Kevin 🙏

[@loganknudson3711]

Made me teary eyed, great dude Derek Awesome video

[@jermtp]

Respect to you derek, love bro been watching for years finished my 02 build cause of you, thanks for everything!

[@sho8966]

Much respect and blessings to you bro! That was big of you for blessing buddy with the chance to see his car one more time

[@dandookie1738]

Awesome video Derek, so cool of you to do that for Kevin. I’m sure that made his day! The bonds made in the car community are really special.

[@jonathantorres5934]

Derek, this was an amazing gesture. I am so proud of you! I share your thoughts and emotions, we have to value and focus on the good things in life.

[@RockX_Chris]

It was so kinda hard watching this cuz my close boy’s dad passed away from ALS a little over 2 years ago. It was a great thing you did for him! I know he will always be looking down on u and the ZR1 making sure you are ok

[@HadesRS4]

Blessings and prayers for Kevin and his family 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jessicaphoenix1312]

Dude must be a pretty good guy with all of those people showing up for him. That is a lot of love. You just had to come out and bring his car, so I'm glad you have the car and you did.

[@mattbirch93]

Great content my man. Showing the humanity and brotherhood that comes with being a car guy is awesome!

[@whiteghost5.0yote16]

Damn bro got my eyes all watering!!! This is awesome seeing all his car guys get together it touched my heart GOD BLESS YOU KEVIN

[@petehorrorwood]

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Shows the world it’s more than just “cars” keep being you brother so awesome for you to bring it out!

[@AaronRobinProductions]

Glad you went to visit Kevin. Similar thing happened with my dad and the Mustang community. My dad was a Mustang guy his whole life and got me into cars. He was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney Cancer October of 2023 and passed away 3 months later. I’m more of an import guy but I purchased my 2020 GT for my dad several months after he passed.

[@benstan4978]

This was one of the best videos I’ve been In In a while. God bless you all.

[@trevorandrewski3015]

Man…Derek hats off to you. Great video. Should be 1m plus channel. Keep it going baby!!

[@Julioarmendariz_5.0]

This was awesome of you to do. Love the content man.

[@gregcamacho5857]

God bless you Kevin, God Speed... Derek THANK YOU for what you do keep up the amazing work and God bless you.

[@stepdadcody1501]

This is why I watch ur channel why I tune in everyday just the way you enjoy what we have in life and making peoples day not only Kevin’s day but I bet those kids remember when you were talking to them on the bikes and they will cherish that. Ur a amazing person and I hope to meet you someday 🙏god bless

[@Veritas1992]

Hit me right in the feels. This is what a real car community does to show support.

[@alexmorales5550]

This is really sad that Kevin is suffering from ALS my thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family🙏

[@DerekBaranProductions]

💙

[@Stang9663]

keep fighting the good fight Kevin!! the car is in great hands with Derek. thank you Derek for doing this, this is so amazing!

[@badredfire3valve944]

This is what this culture is all about. I liked this even before you started it. Thank you for sharing this. Really awesome. God bless Kevin.

[@Julian_B004]

Aw man! I wish I would’ve known about this! Would’ve bought my C3 Vette out there to support 🙏🏽 it’s amazing how you took your time to go see him and have him see his baby again with the mods. I’m glad to see a lot of people came to support him

[@brunodaniels7867]

This is why I love your channel brother! You got heart and I respect it. God bless your good deed

[@nathananthony2686]

Love this video. It’s all about life at the end of the day, and hats off to being first class DBP!!

[@FullEffect_Media]

I love this dude! You can tell the love is genuine 🙏🏼

[@veedubs76]

As a friend of Kevin and Stephanie, thank you for carrying on Kevin’s love and legacy for Rocket!! 🚀 this is so much appreciated for my sweet friends- thank you!! ❤

[@nicolaspefani7371]

You did a fantastic thing brother !!!! God bless Kevin !!!! Beautiful thing u and all those people did 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@jqonthego]

Beautiful video! You’ve come so far and many blessings for Kevin’s family

[@Hanson586]

Can’t believe I teared up man 😭 over a car video. Cars can bring good people together. I bought my 1st vette at 40 after a bad divorce/3 kids/etc. I was almost done with this world. Didn’t even want to live anymore. Took a lot to get me out of the dark dark days. That corvette has helped me in ways I never thought possible. It’s almost like you should never sell it because there’s a story that means more than money 💴 and content. We’re all here a short time and we all should enjoy our time. After watching this I might not sell my C6. She was my 1st vette and kinda wanted to upgrade but I might just do more mods to her now and get another one down the road. Great video!

[@azumidaniels5523]

This is my favorite video you've uploaded. Thank you for this man you're a great guy

[@cobra20500]

I usually dont comment but this is one of the most truly touching videos ever posted.

[@j23p24]

know this was hard bro, what an awesome thing that all of u did for him. what an amazing group!!!

[@raydogg1965]

That was a great thing for you to do. Man that was a tear jerker on video so I can only imagine how it was in person. Big ups to you dude.

[@JoelBauza]

Yo brother that was a Awesome for you to do that. You're an amazing human being. Thank you for all of us.

[@Cuontheflipside72]

Awsomeness just proves you have a heart bro

[@MidwestMotor]

I've known way too many people in situations like this and it IS without a doubt the hardest thing to do! Just one example was a neighbor down our circle had aggressive cancer and she somehow was beating it for like 16 months but you could see how rapidly she declined each month! The last several months she would walk around our circle with her husband very delicately and then not a month later she was being pushed around in a wheelchair - there's not words that describe the thoughts and emotions being a witness to this......... knowing they are going to die in just a very short manner of time, just not sure "which day." And the fact they know they're going to pass and saying a final goodbye is just almost impossible to deal with. Thanks for sharing and being there! 🏁🏁

[@rpenny005]

I hope you joined that corvette club!! That would be awesome!!

[@celticsboy1088]

What a wholesome and amazing video Derek mad props bro stay up and stay safe!

[@johndecoster9509]

Dude, I love all of your videos. This one is absolutely my favorite video man. I've never seen anything quite like this bro. God bless you Sir.

[@rogerhowell6365]

It was nice to meet you there. Take care of ROCKET .

[@Sloneisdead]

It’s in good hands

[@supersportlt1]

This brings back some tough memories for myself. In 2006 I was involved in a bad motorcycle accident leaving me paralyzed from the waist down and I had to sell my dream car at the time which was 1987 Buick Grand National because I never thought I’d drive again I cried for a while about it but realizing I was only 23 I knew I had a lot of life left to live. Now I’m 40 and since my accident I’ve owned over 17 cars mainly sports cars and 2 weeks ago picked a 2024 Cadillac Blackwing off the showroom floor. Traded my 2022 M4 for it. I’m truly blessed after my accident I realized life is precious and short.

[@JoseDiaz-bk9mh]

Man this is a really nice thing for you to do. This was a huge morale boost for him.

[@paulezay3599]

Keep up the good work derek always stay humbled fam i love channel and what you stand for

[@JSAVAGE925]

That’s sad he’s got that disease, but this video is cool, probably my all time favorite video of yours, just bc of the story behind it. You’re a real good dude bro 🫡

[@G-_-Reaper-_-1]

This is a beautiful video Derek. I have no words. Keep up the great work.

[@predator5.011]

It so beautiful how a car bring everyone together

[@Highspeed_216]

Hat’s off to you for doing this brother. Class act right here buddy 🫡

[@Jake_9040]

So glad you could bring him a little bit of joy!

[@JayfkProductions876]

Was really sweet that u were able to bring his car by for him, can only imagine the attachment he had to that Vette. U may have just been some random guy who bought a car but u kne how much it meant to em

[@DerekBaranProductions]

🙏🏼
