The PRIVATE GRAVE of RICHARD SIMMONS & HOUSE He DIED In!

[@0518Purple]

My mom and I met Richard Simmons in Cherokee, NC. We got to exercise with him and sit and chat with him. He even gave me a kiss on the cheek and a picture and autograph. A few years later, our home burned down and I was sad to have lost that picture. He sent me a new one with a very nice personal message. He was truly such a kind person. We will miss him. Thank you so much for the video. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

how sweet

[@donnarupert4926]

@0518Purple…My Aunt Jeanette lived in Cherokee. I was only there once, I was little it was over 60 years ago😔We went to Chimney Rock too. I believe it was the summer of 64’ we drove down from the Northeast. Peace and love to you and yours friend 🙋🏽‍♀️💋🕊

[@Star-Mac10]

This loving tribute brings tears to my eyes. Thank you

[@ellennewth6305]

I took classes at Slimmons for 4 years (1990-1994) and Richard wrote a chapter about how we met in his book "Never Give up." I'm so grateful for the time I was able to spend with him. He was brilliantly funny and had a huge heart. Most importantly, he helped millions of people feel better about themselves! He is deeply missed. Thank you for sharing this lovely tribute, Jordan.

[@marigold7250]

He inspired and encouraged so many people, because he actually cared. One of a kind! Thanks for the nice tribute Jordan!

[@eddiepettit1855]

I met him in Georgetown DC & he was so amazing!!! & even picked me & said "you are a tiny little guy!" I was in my 20's & I got a picture with him!!! Such a sweet man!!!

[@deborahdean768]

I, too, met Richard while I was working as a secretary for Buena Vista Television at Disney Studios in about 1998. He came in for an appointment with the executives and was wearing a fun vest covered with humorous, colorful buttons all over it. He stopped at my desk and told me he liked my hair because it looked like Cleopatra's hair. I was flattered. He was his wacky, TV self and willing to take the time to say hello to the administrative staff. I'm glad we had an encounter and sorry to hear that Richard is gone. People really missed him when he disappeared from public life. He was such an icon.

[@sadiebeast97]

Richard seemed like a very kind and compassionate person. I am so sad we have lost him. Thank You Jordan for such a nice tribute to Richard.

[@rexstraw1682]

Great tribute to Richard! He brought a lot of joy to into the world. May he rest in peace.

[@kateschroth3304]

Great Tribute to Richard Simmons! He brought so much joy to many people all over the world. He was a great man, and very funny

[@melanieo313]

Great tribute. I think Richard is the first celebrity I've ever met. It was the early 80's and i was just a little girl. 8, 9 or 10 years old. He was doing a book signing at our local mall. My mom took my sister and I to meet him. He was so nice and he kissed me on the cheek, too. I'm not sure what happened to the signed book, but I asked my mom to look for it. May he Rest In Peace.

[@leemontoya8028]

Just Imagine how this world that we live in would change if we had Richard's Attitude! Love your channel Jordan Class! 👍🏽

[@sherrigould4423]

So 100% true

[@laurastrobel718]

Richard was so inspiring and a kind soul. I know so many people were looking foward to seeing him back in the public eye myself included. But everything happens for a reason, God bless him. Thanks Jordan. RIP Richard 💖🌄🌈💐🙏🤸

[@Kimteach2011]

It was no surprise that Richard was southern. Rest in peace to Richard. Thank you for the nice tribute, Jordan.

[@sandrasanders9290]

Such an inspiring man, always showing joy. He came to Minneapolis in the early 80s and I joined the crowd for his workout. (Thank you for wearing your Twins hat!)

[@abunchahooey]

I remember when I first saw Richard, as Jordan mentioned he was on General Hospital. I was a pre teen and Richard was an aerobics instructor on the show (naturally) during the hugely popular Luke and Laura era in the late 70’s, early 80’s. My friends and I loved him on the show, us small town girls had never seen anything like him and thought he was so fun. RIP Richard, you brought hope and joy to thousands of people over the years.

[@kellyconrad5449]

We will always miss you Richard ❤ we loved your energy, your bright light, and kind soul ❤ Rest in peace dear sweet man ❤

[@VickieBell-z7x]

I liked Richard Simmons he was a good fitness guru. Nice resting place for him good vlog jordan

[@dazzlingchick]

✨I am so glad you covered Richard Simmons. What a beautiful soul he was. May he rest in peace. ~Love&Light♥️C.

[@rhondaloveloveloves9551]

Thank you Jordan. I'm sure that Richard read your birthday greeting🌻My first experience with Richard was seeing him on General Hospital when I was a young girl and I always remember his visits to Late Night with David Letterman. He was always spunky, full of humor and genuinely kind to others❤

[@paulfreed7071]

Hello Daze a Great show to a Great man he help a lot of people in the world . He will be miss. May He RIP.

[@donnahunter3488]

People always made fun of him and it would make me so angry. He was the most humble and genuine person ever. The world needed more people like Richard. He will be missed and loved always.

[@HeatherMarieGibbs]

RIP Richard Simmons 🎉❤🌺🌹

[@jumaris28]

Wow this is a fresh one Thank you Jordan ❤👍

[@joemayo3380]

What a gem of a human being. God bless you Richard

[@oliviaparton8613]

He was a gift, and his passing is a huge loss. I hope he was happy and peaceful ❤️🙏

[@LittleWillow1]

Thank you so very much Jordan. Been a student of Richards since 1993. First met him at a Mall then attended two weekend Mother Day retreats. He was just the most loving man on earth. What you saw was Richard. He loved mankind. I miss him and will forever. God Bless you Jordan. ❤ PS do you know the number of Richards house? I would love to send a card to Teresa.

[@stankormy5717]

Thanks for all the memories Richard Simmons! We are still sweating to the oldies!

[@irenegriffin3050]

He was definitely so loved! And I'm glad it really looks like he was taken care of as well. RIP, Richard.

[@loiscrockett3812]

I loved his book... and Sweatin' to the Oldies. Nice video Jordan. As always, respectful, tender and tasteful. Thank you... ❤

[@jamesseabolt5915]

I think he was a very kind soul, and would laugh it off when people treated him not so kind. Rest in Peace Richard.

[@robaustin3258]

Oh my, I didn't know he fell in the bathroom. As you get older the bathroom is a dangerous place. Make sure your holding onto something especially getting out of the shower. Always think about your next step. If you fall get the the ER and get checked out ASAP.

[@marilynnhudson2849]

Thank you for mentioning General Hospital. That’s where I first saw him ❤.

[@brianhumphrey6791]

Great video Jordan! Keep up the good work!

[@yolandamorales7526]

Love you Richard we will never forget you❤❤

[@pamelawooten3251]

Hi Jordan!! Hope all is well with you, Katie and Jah!! Thank you so much for bringing this story to us. Loved Richard and followed him on Facebook. He was such a sweet, kind and fun person. May he rest in peace. God bless and be safe.

[@bitscolumn]

Thank you so much. Richard was one of the "good ones" and will be greatly missed.

[@copperpenny0209]

He is a beautiful soul. Condolences and blessings to his best person, Theresa. Thanks for sharing.

[@nowaynohow1275]

Richard Simmons is the epitome of what being human is all about. He gave away love and spread joy as fast as he himself received it. Laughter is the best medicine and he was the ultimate prescription (remember the skit on Who's Line is it Anyways?🤣) Himself shall be missed but his joyous spirit will remain forever. 💞💫

[@Blueskys1972]

Welcome back to LA Jordan, thank you for this video ❤. I started following him on his KZbin and Facebook about 6 months ago, and he kept saying yes it's really me! I heard also the reason he was not seen in public anymore had to do with his bad knees 😢 both my husband and I know about this and can relate somehow. We were both exercise people also, my husband a runner, and me a roller skater. It's a little bit like losing part of your lifeline when you can no longer do the things you love to do, and exercise was his money maker and obviously his happiness ❤ RIP Richard Simmons.

[@cathpeterson1944]

my mother and her friends would do their exercise routine with Richard Simmons back in the 80s, he was so sweet caring and funny RIP Richard Simmons 🙏❤️‍🩹

[@ndeep45]

Jordan.. I remember before you moved away from LA you visited his home. I was surprised he had past. thank you for talking about Richard Simmons

[@eljay7762]

Your posts are so very respectful and immensely informative. Thank you!

[@wendyobrien2843]

He brought a lot of joy to so many. Sad that he didn't go to the ER the day he fell. RIP Richard & know you are loved & will be missed. Thank you Jordan for sharing the true story about his life.

[@cheryld7832]

He was such an inspiration to so many. Thank you for sharing Jordan

[@Star-Mac10]

You always show such deep respect for those who have passed before us. Thank you. I watched Richard Simmons as a kid, did his exercises because they looked fun and remember how warm and loving he showed himself to be. I was probably 7 years old at the time.💜

[@cristinweekley2547]

I saw his grave already, so do miss his personality. He was always so open and said hi to anyone.🙏🏼🥰

[@erickoger778]

I seen a video of the Hollywood tour van stop and saying Richard Simmons lives here and you can see a ball of hair moving across the top of the fence and someone said "IT'S RICHARD !" he heard them and came out like what your experience Richard would be... loved that man.

[@dianapickett3793]

He was a sweet ❤. RIP 🙏. Richard .we will never forget you. In our hearts 💕 always.

[@Hevynly1]

Richard radiated such kind energy. He seemed like one of the good ones. Sort of a staple of television growing up in the 80s, I'm surprised and sad he's gone.

[@MissBrittany86]

Thank you for doing this Jordan

[@jessicacoley8745]

thanks for sharing this. loved him for who he was, i was never obease as a child but i know he wouldn't want our kids to be this way. was so funny and honest. Fly high Richard.

[@esthergarcia1373]

Thank you Jordan for memorializing Richard Simmons. Nice you came to LA again. Your videos came into my life when my husband and I needed them the most. Your travels to different places around the world to your fun moments with Jah.. the dog parks with him, celebrity stories and visiting gravesite places, to the first video of meeting the lady of your life, Katie❣🙏 God bless and be safe.

[@alancumming6407]

This was a beautiful memorial broadcast, adding to this are all the comments from fellow viewers displaying just how much he was respected and loved. Many thanks Jordan.

[@davidmckinney6577]

I grew up watching him years ago he was a very good man. Thanks for your vlog you always do the best vlogs I have saw others but none come close to yours.

[@carolpeek7429]

I love Richard. He was so caring. Thank you for this very nice tribute to him. I always wondered what happened. I believe he was happy . It sounded like it.

[@marlenepearson3936]

That was a wonderful tribute and look at his grave, Jordan. Thanks 😊 for posting. RIP 🙏 Richard. 😢

[@dbcooper692]

A friend of mine is a contractor and he worked on his house many times and said Richard was a great guy to work with!

[@marthaturki4891]

Thanks Jordan for another great one!❤❤🐾🐾

[@judywho2249]

We will miss you Richard 🎉

[@desi_loo_magoo]

💔I've driven by his house SO many times (there was a time when I would see him in this driveway, as I drove by, it was such a fun Hollywood thing). All the times I drove by, I NEVER NOTICED the mailbox being a model of the house!!!

[@NEDD70]

Such a kind man. ❤ Glad to see you make a trip to LA to do this one 😊

[@greglee1174]

Richard Simmons was hilarious. He should have gone into comedy. He was the Liberace of fitness.

[@charlinebeth541]

I met Richard Simmons in the 80's when he had an exercise place here in Georgia. The place was Richard Simmons Asylum I met him in Morrow. He brought me up on the platform and we worked out he was there visiting different ones.

[@stephaniemarie7696]

Thank you for this. I loved Richard Simmons. Ever since the first time I saw him in General Hospital. He was such an inspiration to all and gave so much of himself to everyone. Rest in peace ❤🙏🏻

[@CaraHTheTerribleOldWoman]

Richard was a good person. Nobody should be bullied for whatever size they are. That's the problem I have with the whole "war on obesity." A Health At Every Size approach is best. When exercise is encouraged without a requirement for becoming a certain size or you're a "failure," people are more likely to stick with it. I'm not surprised that Richard was insecure about his appearance even after obtaining a desired degree of thinness. Being bullied sticks with you. I'm almost 60 years old now. I was badly bullied throughout my childhood and teen years. The idea of "loving" myself is so foreign that I can't wrap my head around it any more than I can wrap my head around advanced calculus problems. If things go wrong, I become relentlessly hostile towards myself. I can't stand pictures of myself. I'm a published author but will never display an author photo. I think I'm the ugliest thing in the world, and that will never change.

[@Mamadukee1]

You are not alone , God bless 😊🇬🇧

[@MyKingdomForAK9]

Every living being is beautiful, truly. I hope your self-perception changes. 💙🫂🩵

[@aprildiaz6298]

Great video Jordan! Thx! RIP Richard/Miilton.

[@stacielynn6153]

Love this ❤ thank you

[@johnfritz15]

Greetings from Springfield Ohio. Thanks for all you do.

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

He was a Fun Personality, my Mom watched Sweatin' to the Oldies and she did the workouts in front of the TV watching Richard. I never met him, but I would Bet he was a Loving Spirit. That is the Vibe I always felt. At least this was not a Suicide, I don't want to remember him that way. Wish he had went to the Hospital... Beautiful Home, very nice place there. REST PEACEFULLY, RICHARD... Your Fun and Kind Spirit will NEVER be Forgotten... ❤❤

[@karenrosenow9939]

Richard had such a good heart and helped so many people. I miss seeing Jah. When you lived in LA I always enjoyed it when you would start your videos with Jah at the dog park.

[@MyKingdomForAK9]

❤ those uploads of Jah🐾 at the L.A. dog parks❣️👍✌️❤️

[@Phanolars]

Love the new intro video. Great video man. See ya in Nashville sometime for your next Ernest Tubb video!!

[@anneiwanowski9653]

Loved him! Always smiling! RIP ♥️ Take care and safe travels ❤️

[@suefox6164]

As always, great job of letting us know about Richard. I always enjoy your videos.

[@patticresssickels466]

You did again, Jordan. Bringing me to dears with a vlog about such a dear, sweet man. You honored the memory or the lovable "Sweating to the Oldies" guy of the 80's and 90's. Thanks, Jordan. Rest in Peace, Richard.

[@JennasMusic76]

I adored Richard and met him in 1993 and kept in touch with him on social media for several years until he went into hiding. Richard was the most loving, and genuine people I ever met, and he changed my life for the better, I will never forget him, and all he did for thousands of people. Rest well sweet angel, we will never forget you. xoxoxo ❤❤❤

[@markcorby8475]

Always enjoy your vids Jordan! You’re so informative and a great story teller. Thanks for all you do and keep em coming!! 😎👍

[@PageCreations]

He always seemed like a kind person. Such a sense of humor. I never had the opportunity to meet him but sure made you feel like you knew him. I went on a tour in New Orleans back in 2002 and they showed us his home there. I don't know if he kept it or not. Thank you Jordan for taking us to visit him.

[@thelmaduhrendahl8105]

Thank you for sharing Jordan,new to your channel

[@mariaday712]

I was sorry to hear of his passing. He seemed to be a nice person, but lots of people liked to pick on him it seemed. Sad, he locked himself away. Even in death he's locked away from people that might to disturb his resting place. I hope he rests in peace. Thank you for showing us where he is buried. You take care and stay safe.

[@kippytx]

I truly liked and admired Richard.

[@TheMocao]

I got the Sweatin’ with the Oldies set and they’re so fun to use when I want a “fun” workout. Richard Simmons seemed like such a genuine person.

[@AllenHolland-rj3is]

Great tribute. Thanks you Jordan for this video always love your videos wishing you a wonderful day R.I.P. Richard ❤️🥰

[@MaryS-mg9ij]

Loved Richard Simmons…. Thank You

[@dianelambert7072]

Thank you for including his time on General Hospital. That is exactly where I knew him from and a lot of people leave out that detail when discussing him.

[@maryloudelossantos1624]

Richard Simmons has left behind a legacy never to be forgotten. He was full of life! RIP.

[@wendysherbert3257]

You did a wonderful retrospective. I feel sure Mr. Simmons would approve. Thank you.

[@reedberry]

Good video, Jordan, and a nice tribute to Richard. I met him at an event 10 or 12 years ago and he was very nice. He let me take a pic despite the fact that "his people" were telling everybody no pictures. After asking him first (which most people probably didn't) he looked over at them to say it was ok. Rest in peace, Richard Simmons.

[@kathik]

Thank you for sharing your insight, kindness and respect for Richard.

[@jacquelineburrows8208]

I was so sad wen I found out he had passed. He was such an amazing person and such an inspiration for so many. He was just such a joy. RIP Richard. Thanks for the share Jordan.

[@dogdaze598]

Hey Jordan.. I really enjoyed that story & I didn't personally know the man but remember seeing him o letterman & general hospital as well, it was easy to see without knowing him that he was a good soul. & I gotta mention Jordan with the intro & you being back in L.A. was pretty cool, thank you.

[@johnm1414]

Pauly Shore does look similar to Richard in that short biopic he made about him. But no one can match Richard Simmons spirit so I agree he would have had to play himself. RIP Richard you brought joy and health to alot of people.
