Trucker Tribute - One Last Ride - Joshua Wayne Winkler R.I.P.

[@xanthosloftwood2290]

Damn onion chopping ninjas. This hits hard. It's awesome to see all those drivers come out to honor him with a convoy for his last haul. Rest easy driver! We'll see you at the next stop!

[@CKsimpleLIFE]

Yeah those onions are strong! But the love people had for Joshua was apparent! Thanks for the kind words...

[@markcurtis309]

I did not know him but after 25+ years as a trucker this brings tears to my eyes as I has stage 4 cancer and by the grace of GOD and great medical drs..I'm still here..rest in peace my brother.

[@C.Brown5150]

This is one of many reasons why I'm so Damn proud to be an American. We stand up , remove our hats; And give (Respect)and (Honor) to those who we loved and appreciated. RIP , Ride the golden highways.

[@godragons100]

Amen!

[@aidansgaming4956]

Yes yes we do and I’m proud to be an American

[@godscountryrevivalwalshumc9902]

I'm a trucker also for 7years now almost didn't make it a few times but through the wrecks and God being with me I survived and I got broke down in tears this is how I wanna be remembered. Me and my husband still driving today .

[@catmanrescue1]

im a disabled Vet ,,,, over 60 now and pretty much just a carbon track , Watching this video of this young man gone too soon i can see he was a part of the American Dream... if i could i would give my life so he could be here today ,,,,, ive never met Him .. He's am American , he is Family ......... RIP Brother ,Joshua Wayne Winkler ,, RIP

[@CKsimpleLIFE]

I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful comments and support for this amazing young man that was taken from us too soon ...life is short and for some too short love the ones you are with and please take this as a message of never waiting another day to tell your loved ones you love them we never know when it is our time to join the big man ...be safe out there all ...all our love!

[@flapjackwhat7831]

cksimplelife I didn’t know him, but it’s always sad to see someone taken too young. My heart goes out to the family and friends.

[@Coaltrain87.]

May I asked how he passed?

[@CKsimpleLIFE]

From what I understand he was hauling a load of cattle to Texas and someone else ran a stop sign and he died on impact.... If you watch the video closely after the old red fire truck the first Grey with purple trim is actually his truck... It was in the shop and he was in his brother's truck at the time of the accident... He and his best friend had identical colored trucks and was known across the cattle trucking industry as "the twins" because they always hauled together.... This is what I was told and if someone reading this knows otherwise please don't hesitate to correct me...

[@CKsimpleLIFE]

His best friends truck was right behind his truck to the left in the video after his truck... And there is a highway shot of the twins towards the end as well as his truck a few times through the video.... Again if anyone reading this needs to correct me feel free... I was just the editor and was relayed this information....

[@Coaltrain87.]

[@avenger1888]

Joshua Wayne Winkler thank you for the duty you have done as a truck driver. It sad that you had to leave so early in life. You'll always be remembered by your family, friends and other who had the pleasure of meeting you. May you rest in piece.

[@randalllemons7479]

sorry for your loss we lost a brother nov. 2021.he trucked for 40 years ,he went home in a similar fashion. every day i think of him. my thoughts and prayers are with the Winkler family and the brother and sister truckers that he worked with.

[@jevond.crosssr.2525]

From a young truck driver with a wife and 3 kids of my own, this video hit a spot in my heart. God knows it did. Sorry for you guys lost, he’s in a better place now. No more DOT, weigh stations, and pounding that ground just to make a dollar. Rest on my brother we got it from here, and from a trucker for 6 yrs now hope to meet you one day so we can talk about all the crazy things we’ve seen over time on them lonely stretch of highways. Rest on my brother. 0007 GearBox from South Louisiana with the 4 fingers and a thumb saying bye bye bye and I’m gone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🚚🚚🚚💨💨💨💨💨

[@ryanbright7496]

This video had me in tears. I'm just starting out in trucking, and to a see the brotherhood that truckers have is downright moving. Truckers are a special bunch. I have a deep respect. Thank you for all you do for this great land.

Seeing this kind of camaraderie is to me like when another soldier falls and he is laid to rest. One last fight, one last call, one last ride, but they must live on in our hearts and mines. I didn’t know this soldier, but I feel I’ll meet him in Heaven. God Bless to his family and loved ones. May you all be comforted by his memories. To everyone trucking, keep the rubber down and the shinny side up. This is Buckshot aka Wes, signing off. Farewell Brother in Trucking, we’ll see you again some day.

There's a song by Bobby Bare titled" The Worlds Last truck Driving Man" . Great song. I hope your road to Paradise was as smooth as glass, no potholes, not even a loose rock. Deep blue sky, no clouds, no humidity, classic country on your radio and no bears anywhere in sight. Roll on driver, full tanks of diesel, tires are good, brakes checked, lights good. The Lord will be driving from here on, you enjoy the view. Jesus has taken the wheel.
