I can't believe how much Festus meant to Me. 😢❤ !

Made my eyes water.

Where would man be without God's great gift of the horse, mule, and the dog R l. P. KEN CURTIS

I'm a big fan of Mules. They're an awesome animal. A properly bred and trained mule is every bit as good, or better, than any work horse in the same role.

I have almost 400 episodes still recorded and hard to type with my eyes leaking. I wear my Festus hat everyday and woe to those who'll harm it, women, children or elderly,and it ain't because of the Morgan silver dollars sewed into it for emergencies lol. Festus, you and Ruth live with us,in us and through us everyday. Come spring, little Dachshund girl and I are riding one of our Harley mules (probably Red),to Colorado birth place from Missouri Ozarks Festus. I'm proud to call you Pa, Uncle, Friend,Pardner or Brother from another Mother, just not late for supper. We'll see you and Ruth soon Festus, rest easy 🎅🤠🙏

Thank you Ken. RIP. ❤

Ken Curtis is actually a very good singer he was lead singer for the sons of the pioneers

This is awesome !!!!

That's sadder than "Old Rivers"

Love this. Thank You Ken.

There still are good things in this crazy world.

Deo Vindice.

Great actor, great voice, great mule skinner, all with true heart.

Festus was a national treasure

Thanks for the video! Mule day’s Bishop Ca..best parade ever!

Poor old Ruth she was the best donkey ever so sorry u lost her festes

Great video. Thank you!

Ruth forever!

Festus you're my favorite forever.

I loved old fetus ken curtis. Want ever be another festus.

Used to be a saying My Grand Father would say in the 60's when I went fishing and hunting with him Governor's wife had the Biggest Mule I ever did see

This was written by John Mitchum, brother of Robert Mitchum.

Love Gunsmoke and all the great characters 🙏

❤❤❤👍🙏

Ken has always been one of my favorites. Though not a major role in Mr. Robert's he played his character perfectly.

I love me some Festus,,,R.I.P....my Festus,,,

Great song by Ken Curtis! Thank u for that song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a tear-jerking story I'm in tears now

I miss him so much❤📽😞🎶🙏🎼

No words......❤

Well, Ken Curtis is very much missed, A Son of the Pioneers and John Ford's son-in-law. He sure had an interesting life.

If anything happens to Matthew you better lay me right down next to him or I will not quit till I find you and feed you to the turkey buzzards! ~ Festus Hagan

God placed certain people on earth to bless and lift our spirits. Festus was one of those people.

That was very nice.

Ken Curtis was one great actor and he could sing too. I love his character Festus.

Who me? I'm not crying,🥺 I'm chopping onions 🧅🧅🔪 My family all loved Gunsmoke. Festus and 'Ruth' were a perfect pairing with Marshall Dillon. It's amazing you wouldn't think somebody that had a high-pitched nasally-whiney voice could sing so beautifully.

First time I've heard this , what's not to like either ballad or singer . Never heard anything bad about Ken Curtis and it wouldn't matter to me if I did , I thank hes awesome. Was he from Tennesse ? I'm from Chattanooga and very proud to be . Thank you for posting this , looking for more .

Some snarky kid will say this is hokey, corny and more. I don't care! I loved this! It gave a little love to Mom, Johnny Reb and the real builder of America, The Fabulous Mule!

Always a fan of Festus (Ken Curtis)

3:27 "And then I cried."

Why. Did. Festus. Always. Ride. A. Donkey. Instead. Of. A. Horse

My father was a mule skinner in WW2 with the 10nth Mountain Div Italy. All the dogs, horses and mules that have died in wars were heroes.

What a wonderful story and story teller. I was not born when Gunsmoke first started and didn't see it as a child. But it is one of my favorite shows now and I actually record it every day just to have something to watch. Today's tv shows are mostly garbage. There is a reason these old classics are still being shown. The entire cast of Gunsmoke was wonderful. So many great actors appeared as guest stars on this show and many others. We sure could use some Matt Dillons these days.

oh sweet lordy......I've never heard this before! I'm cryin' my eyes out!! lol, gee thanks y'all.......

Too bad we lost

Must have been Yankee's! Ruth Saved Festus, don't cry Daddy! Love Ruth...🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️👀👀👀
