Love that your subscribed to Steve! Bit of nostalgia in this sadness. Class act Mav. Cheers 🍻 Yes I was shocked when I opened RUclips and saw the title of this video, my heart sank 😰
An absolute punch in the gut. The character of a man can many times be judged by the friends he keeps and right now the Camping with Steve Family has over 1,000,000 great friends praying for him. Stay strong Steve.
Hey Steve. I'm rewatching this video because I'm about to loose my wife. I'm by her side now at Hospice. Thank you for making this video. Everyone, please take care of your other half. Don't let them work too hard ❤
A year later. Steve I just want you to know me and a lot of people think about you. It tears me up to see a wonderful human being like you in such excruciating pain. She really seemed like the absolute real deal. Rest in peace beautiful soul.
Hey dude, I've loved watching your stealth camping videos lately. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. You got a lot of love and people rooting for you out here in youtube land.
Wow amazing that of all people my other favorite RUclipsr watches Steve as well! If we can get together somehow to help out that would be amazing also when the time is right you guys should go stealth camping together hell bring crazy neighbor along as well ! Much love from shitty Seattle!
Steve I can’t put into words how much my heart hurts for you. I as well as the million plus other people here are happy to offer anything we can to help. Love yah buddy.
Yeah I'm in shock and I'm crying and I'm so sad for him. The comments and his followers are good people. He's good people. I wish there was something that we could do for him
I just found your video channel tonight. Last week I lost my wife, I am 45 and she was 44 married 21 years. She was healthy with no indications of any health issues. She suffered a massive stroke out the blue. I had the one too, I know everyone thinks that but no two ways about it she was. If you look for support for widows, there are a million resources. If you look for widowers, maybe one or two. None of them are focused on support while in our age range which is different. Sorry if the preceding is less than stellar on the grammar front but I don’t give a shit. She was my world, and I am trying to accept living without her.
Im so sorry. You guys are so young and life is so unfair. May the Lord lead you through the paths that lie ahead.One day............one day, you will rest easy.
My dad passed away in 1998 at age 47 (I was 16, my twin sisters were 20, and my brother 21)….cancer…..never smoked a day in his life, totally outdoorsy and athletic. A friends wife, mother of 4 littles, had a brain aneurysm and passed, early 30’s….totally healthy otherwise, just got a headache and went to the hospital and it just happened. We are so fragile and nobody knows WHO it is going to hit. Even healthy ppl can go unexpectedly.
I'm very sorry to hear that and I hope that you have found some social support amongst those who can truly empathize and understand what you are going through.
I just watched 3 hours of your videos. The last 2 were of Crazy Neighbor's heading toward heaven, and I just learned of your beautiful Jess, too.. I'm sending you bucketloads of love and support. Please come around at your pace.... the comments show how impactful you are to each person watching your videos. Helped my day immensely. Thank you for your insights, and for showing up and carrying on. Life loves you through each day....
My heart goes out to you and Jess’s family Steve. Really am sorry for your loss. Please reach out if ever you just want a chat. Appreciate we have a time difference but I’ll be on the other side of the phone if you need someone to talk to.
TA its just shockingly sad, fair play dude for reaching out , god bless and thank you for all you give of yourself and like Steve have created a fellowship of good people.
Hey bud, I know this is a bit of an old video, but a caring comment won’t hurt I hope. Two years ago, my wife and two daughters passed away in a drunk driving accident. When it first happened, I was actually mad at myself. I was mad I wasn’t there. I was mad I couldn’t have stopped it. I was mad I couldn’t be there to help them. Instead, I was off buying Christmas presents for the three of them. The pain was unbearable. It felt like the comfy walls of my life had been torn down, and suddenly I was all alone. It took me over 4 months to even want to leave the house. I had no motivation, because my motivation had been killed in a car crash. You deserve to take however long you feel is necessary to stand yourself backup, dust off your gears, and get back out into doing what you love. It’ll never stop hurting, and I’m sure you know that. But use that hurt as a way to push yourself. Take every step with the thought that you’re doing exactly what she would have wanted you to do. I’m sorry bud. I’m so, so sorry. And I’m sure you know as much as I do that nothings gonna bring her back. Nothings gonna bring the three things I cared about most back either, but I can honor them. You waking up each day is your way of honoring her beautiful soul, and I hope you know that. You seem like a truly awesome guy and you deserve all the love and the praise, and you deserve to know that, even though she may have passed, you can still go out and rock the fucking world for her. Take care bud I really do wish you the best❤️
I've been following your videos for a few years now. I rarely leave comments, but I thought you'd like to hear this. Since this video went up, I started donating at least 1% of my income to the Salvation Army and local food banks in my area, in memory of your beautiful wife. I'm glad to see you’re staying strong after all you've gone through these past 13 months. Jess would be proud!
Worst news ive ever seen since my own Mother and Father died , as we all love Steve Beautiful wife and Crazy Neighbour Glenn , I hope Steve has family and friends supporting him at this time , his wife was too good for this world , As the great Freddie Mercury said Only the Good Die young , RIP Beautiful Wife Jess xxx
"She was the real deal." She must have been, or you wouldn't be coming apart like this. She must have been something. As a man who has lost family recently here, I sympathize with your pain. For what it is worth, my prayers are with you. Whenever you go camping, she will be with you. I think I'll go ask around the food bank that runs out of the Lutheran church downtown and see if they need any donations or a helping hand. If nothing else, they have scheduled meals for the homeless and the otherwise needy, and I can cook. God bless, Steve.
Mate when I heard him say that it broke me a bit. The quiver in his voice. I had to distract myself a tad and went to the comments too instantly see your comment
Hi Steve , I know your pain, the same thing happened to me on the 28-1-2024, My darling wife passed in the night age 64, Im devastated and I do not know how I going to live on with out my darling Pam, I like you never had a chance to say goodbye and tell her how much I loved her. This is so hard to deal with and come to the relization that I will never see my darling wife Pam again. all the best mate ,, Phil from Aussie
When all seems lost, and you feel alone in this existence...remember Him, who created you, even if Australia as a whole has turned his back on him. He loves you both. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
@@fernandez3841Telling someone about a higher power doesn't exactly help the pain of losing your best friend that you have been with for 20+ years. Take the god speech somewhere else
You will see her again, God wants you to live out your plan for as long as you can in this boat that he put you in this time around, perhaps the next seas that you sail, her soul will be within the bosun, and yours, the shipmaster.
Steve I know exactly how you feel I just went through the exact same thing, my wife and I laid down to take a nap I woke up and she didn't. This has been the most traumatizing thing I have ever been through, and I'm 71 years old she was 60 no health problems Nothing She had had a heart attack in her sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do It's so hard I hope after a year now that things are better for you, I don't think I can handle it I miss her so much Thanks Steve take care.
I don't know how this came across my youtube homepage, never seen this channel before, but this was very moving and a reminder to not take my life or those of my loved ones for granted. Jess sounded like a really special woman from what you shared in this video and I wish you well Steve.
This was the same for me, this feed just came up on my channel yet I had never seen Steve before. So this is for Steve because you crossed my path: You are being thought about as you go through this difficult time. Losing a close loved one is the toughest and Jess sounded very selfless, very loving and giving. I am sorry you are going through this. Sending you one of over a million hugs…you are doing what Jess would have wanted and this shows your selflessness…to keep going, to keep giving and working which is a huge inspiration to those also feeling loss and pain. You have touched more hearts than you will ever know as not all will comment but they will feel this candid and raw video. Thank you for sharing that this beautiful being called Jess existed as well as showing another one…you are an amazing person and your vids look extremely interesting. We need more people like you in this world. Keep strong my friend! 🙏❤️
Same here... Have no clue who this is... But I stand in solidarity with you bro. My heart just sank for you. Other than what I've typed, I have no words... And I always have words... Hang in there Steve I've never met... I'm sure she was in good hands here on earth... You seem like a solid dude (you can tell in your sincerity) and I'm sure she's in the best hands now.
This just came up on my YT feed too although I had heard about Steve’s loss of Jess through others I follow. Steve, I hope you’re starting to adapt and heal. I know we never get over the loss but learn to live with it for the time we have on earth until we’re reunited again with our loved ones. Sending hugs from 🏴 to you. ❣️
I didn't expect this to appear in my feed and I don't know you Steve, but my deepest condolences to you. I've never been married or had a girlfriend, but losing someone important in general is something everyone can relate to, I can see your great sadness while trying to hold it together. When you said your wife was the "real deal" I believed you, it seems that far too often truly life-changing and heart touching people we meet are called home early. Hurts more in a way since you don't come across people with conviction much these days. I hope you bounce back from this difficult time in time, but always remember that you owe it to her and you owe it to yourself to always keep her and the time you spent together in your memories.
Same here, I've lost a few family members some close others I was too young to really know, but I feel for him and wish him the best. Stay strong steve!
Exactly, she might be dead in the flesh...but in thought? Shes only fully gone once the memories he bears dissapear. I hope he doesnt commit suicide and instead decides to give those memories justice.
I couldn't imagine what he felt waking up that morning and finding that she had passed during the night. It's unthinkable and truly heartbreaking. This is the first time I've come across your channel, Steve, but I want you to know that I'm so, so sorry for your loss and I hope you have a good network of people around you to help you through this difficult time.
My dad passed away on August 16 at 4 A.M+ and it only few weeks ago that happened. It's just so sudden to me even right now i'm still thinking what could've been the day if he still around. Let me tell you, it's like your whole world just freaking shift and collapse into pieces and it's not the same feeling like the way you used to
Other people don't even get a wife due to birth defects, ugliness, and mental issues. They are left to rot. I'll rub one out to his tears and her cadaver.
i feel bad for him, i mean it's so sudden... i wonder what happened? dying in your sleep when you aren't old is so random and could basically happen to anyone, anytime, scary to think about.... RIP to her though, I can only imagine what he's going through.
One of the nicest and down to earth guys you’ll ever see on RUclips. I’m so sorry for your loss Steve she’ll be looking down, proud of all the things you are doing in life. ❤️
@@marcGOAT1 First, he uploaded the video several days after, not "immediately." Second, how she died is none of our business and it is up to Steve to decide if he wants to share that incredibly personal detail with the public. Third, has it occurred to you that they might not even know the cause of death yet? Often when deaths occur suddenly, the cause isn't determined until after post-mortem examination, which takes a while. And fourth, have some respect, Man! Steve is going through the worst thing he has ever experienced and you're out here bugging him about the details. He tell you when he tells you, if he feels like it.
@@greg4629 That's not true. Cause of death is not public interest information, and it is only included in obituaries if the family submitting it chooses to do so. In fact, the obituaries themselves only happen if a loved one of the deceased submits it for publication. Obits are meant to acknowledge and honor those we've lost, not to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the crowd.
I don't know why this popped up when it did over a year ago, but I lost my Tara about the same time you lost your Jess. Tara, much like your Jess never woke up. I'm still heartbroken, as I'm sure you still are. I hope for the best for you..... I wish I had better words or some advice; but I'm still trying to cope with the devastation. As I'm sure you are too.
"On Saturday Beautiful Wife and me went to bed, on Sunday only I woke up." I have never heard a more heartbreaking sentence then this. I can't even imagine the pain you must have felt in that moment. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Shirley here, I just read your comment. I yelled at my husband just a little while ago for not wipping his feet of when he came in outside in the rain, I will never do that again, u am glad I still have him he's my world.
@@robbank8027 I know, that was an epic video, because we got a glimpse of the elusive “beautiful wife! I think we got her on the bus once also, she was the ying to Steve’s yang. Heaven has gotten another special angel
Honestly seeing you and so many other RUclipsrs I follow here genuinely makes me realise why I follow you all, you are all genuinely great people. Thank you for taking the time to post and show it
Would you consider bringing a tribute of sorts on the next peak bag? Seems fitting in a way as you got to meet her and would be as close to delivering it to her up in the sky.
I’m so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Condolences to you and family. That you are keeping up with your dream of hunkering down be sure that an angel is watching over you. I’ve only being watching you videos after finding them for a couple weeks and often binge watch late into the night. I love looking up areas you been in to see Steve Camped Here! I definitely will be doing more for those in need in your wife’s memory. Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I’ve come across your site. I am so moved by your genuineness. In your deep loss, you found the strength and took the time to express and share the love you feel in your heart with others. What an amazing compliment you have made to Jess who was able to bring out the depths of emotion that you did. She certainly must have been an extraordinary woman. There’s no need to apologize for having recognized how she impacted and changed your life in such positive and profound ways. I’ll remember you in my prayers as I think of you and these moments you selflessly shared with others in your time of grief.~~ Tate’s mom
Hi Steve. I highly doubt you will see this comment among the thousands of other ones, but I just wanted to say I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I only recently discovered your content but you seem like such an awesome, caring and loving man and the last person something like this should happen to. Your references to ‘beautiful wife’ in your videos are really touching and showed to me your love and admiration for her. I am 17 and I lost my mother in January and watching this video, something really resonated within me and I began crying for nearly 15 minutes. Completely unexpected considering I don’t even know you but I feel a deep empathy for what you are going through and it is truly an indescribable pain. I’m so so sorry for your loss. Please take as much time as you need to grieve and surround yourself with the ones you love and trust. Don’t pay mind to those 1% of horrible people who leave negative comments, they are absolute scum who would never say these things in public I’m sure, the cowards. I’m keeping you in my thoughts at the moment and sending best wishes to you and your family. You can do this and pull through Steve, everyone is behind you. Lots of love ❤❤❤
The pain in his voice is heart breaking, May she rest in peace Steve. I wish the best for you and your heart. I hope life brings you many amazing things and Jess can watch you from the clouds talking to God about how proud she is of you.
I just got hooked on your videos today. You're probably one of the nicest and down to earth guys I've ever seen. You're honestly quite inspiring. I'm really sorry for your loss. I am glad to see you've kept it up and living life. Big hugs from me.
I'm so sorry for your loss. As evident by all the comments and support, you are an amazing down to earth person, and we're all rooting for you. Much love, brother.
Steve I found you today. RUclips recommended me the video where you stealth camped in the roundabout and to say it made my day is an understatement. To hear that someone as amazing as you had to experience something like this is both shocking and devastating. I want you to know you’re one of my new favorite channels, I hope you’re doing ok now, I hope you can heal, and I wish I could help you more man. Thank you SO much for your videos and again, I SINCERELY hope you’re doing ok❤❤❤❤
Exact same here, I never would have guessed from that video that anything like this happen to him so recently..poor man, I hope he finds peace in his life
Hey brother, I just found your videos yesterday. I’ve been binge watching them from newest to oldest and noticed you had a ring on in the McDonald’s drive through video. You seem like such a great and genuine guy, and even though I’ve only been a fan for a day my heart shattered when I saw the title of this video. You make the world a better place for millions of people who love your content, and I’m sure your wife was incredibly proud and felt so lucky to be with such a genuine source of light in such a tough world.
@Bear Greendale Steve's hurting right now because he's lost his wife, and you're using his comment section to spout mumbo jumbo about covid 19 vaccines. Have some respect and bugger off.
@Bear Greendale I have also had members of my family injured but this really is not the time for all of that right now. We do not know what happened and honestly it's not our concern. This man is in real real pain and needs encouraging words right now.
@Bear Greendale what don't you understand about respect? YOU DON'T GO TO A FUNERAL AND START SPOUTING YOUR DEATH THEORIES AT A GRIEVING PROCESSION. READ THE ROOM. LEAVE.
Never watched one of your videos before, but this one popped up on my Home Screen for whatever reason. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. The fragility, cruelty, and shortness of life are things we try our best to avoid until they all decide to jump us at once. It's a hard thing to go through, and it's something that I hope I never have to experience. I don't know you, her, or your story, but given the way you talk about her she sounded like an amazing person. I wish you the best of luck. Keep fighting, even when it feels impossible. That's what she would want. Keep going for her.
His stealth camping in public places is something you got to see to believe he really gets it figured out gets old comfy Cooks his food relaxes drinks his beer and it's really a fun channel to watch
I never watched one of your videos but on September 15th I woke up after surgery only to be told my beautiful Sandy had died. A year later and I'm still an emotional wreck. My health has deteriorated greatly due to my grief. I'm truly sorry for your loss you will be in my prayers. If you are not sure where you will spend eternity I suggest you get saved, it would be terrible not to spend eternity with your wife it's comforting to know when I die I'll be with my lovely wife. Alcohol will destroy your life I know first hand I've been sober since April 2003. I went from a functioning drunk to sober overnight by truly asking God Almighty to take away my desire for alcohol and he did. No relapses just sober overnight. My only child my son died from muscular dystrophy and alcohol eased the pain but not for long so please take my advice and I hope you find peace
Same for me! Steve I don’t know you, your video popped up on my feed. My heart goes out to you. What you’re going through is beyond understanding. Jess sounds a beautiful, warm amazing lady. I can feel that by how you speak of her ❤️. Sending love and hugs to you and all around you ❤️
Hey Wade, all we can do is distract ourselves from the glooming sadness and wait for the time to pass. Stay strong buddy. She will be much happier if she knows you recover soon. RIP.
I'm in Australia, and subscribed to your channel 3 days ago. This has just come up for me. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's very raw, and you may never recover. I lost my beloved husband in 2016, and it still feels like yesterday. Sending you love from Australia x
Hi Steve. last weekend my son and I spent two days overhauling a beautiful woodland walk near where we live in Marbella, Spain. We cleared a bunch of fallen trees and we picked up bags of trash. We did it in honour of your beautiful wife, Jess. I could always tell how much you loved her and how much you guys complemented each other. Your overwhelming loss is just about everyone's worst nightmare. Every time we walk the 'Beautiful Wife' walk we will think of you and Jess.
Ik none of you and I'm literally sobbing after reading this because it's so beautiful and my heart is breaking for this man..😢..there is so much love compassion and good in this world and in times like these strangers come together for the love of their brother and humanity..This is what the definition of being human really is..May the Lord bless all whom showed Steve so much love and compassion....There is hope for all us!
I do not follow your content Steve. This showed in my feed. I still clicked and immediately feel the passion for what you do here and more importantly did together. Words fall short in a situation like this...but to honor Jess, her uncoditional kindness and love, I will go through my apartment and put aside clothes and other things to donate to local organisations. Ive never done this before, but I am moved. God bless, stay strong, my thoughts go out to you and those closest. ♡
Sorry for your loss. One of the hardest things is that the one person who could best help you through this is the one who's gone. I feel for you Find a support group if you can - it can make a huge difference
I discovered your videos about 2 weeks ago and have enjoyed them so much. I saw this today and I know time has passed, but, I'm sorry for your loss. You seem like such a genuine guy and I'm sorry this tragedy befell you. Be well, friend.
I never seen this channel before, but I feel like there was such an adventure I missed and it still hurts me to here. As a married man myself I can't comprehend the feelings, prayers for you, love you brother. Please take all the time you need, condolences.
Man I don’t even watch your channel. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I’m watching one of your videos and I just wanna say that I’m so very sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine losing my significant other. My heart and prayers go out to you tonight all the way from Tennessee. Again man, I’m truly sorry for your loss and you have my most sincere condolences. Stay strong my man. I know that’s allot easier said than done considering the circumstances.
I’m so sorry! I just found your channel two days ago, and I’ve been binge watching. This breaks my heart for you. She sounds like she was an amazing person. I love the idea of care packages. ❤
I lost my wife last October. It feels like the worst thing ever. I would like to pass on some helpful tips that helped me through the tremendous grief that comes with losing your wife. 1. Eat well. 2. Try and get as much rest as possible. Maximize your sleep. There's no way you can deal with everything that comes with grief unless you sleep well. 3. Familiarize yourself with the 5 stages of grief. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. everyone is different, and you may jump from one to another quickly, or hang around one stage for a while. this is all normal. There are lots of resources online that will walk you through those stages. 4. Don't be afraid to lean on those around you in your community. There's nothing wrong with getting help. 5. You will get beyond this. It takes time to heal and grieve. It'll never be the same, but it will get better. Love you sir. I'm praying peace and comfort for you.
I wanna tell you that I think it’s so kind you’ve shared this…. I’m grateful to God I have my wife every day that I do. I can’t imagine this pain. Thank you for passing this along. I intend to share it with friends that have experienced a recent loss. 🙏
Man, just stumbled upon your videos recently and have started watching my way through a good few of them to keep my mind from brooding over my own circumstances. It's mortifying to find out how much tragedy you've had to endure. I really don't know what to say, but I wish you the best. You seem a fantastic person and I hope you have more tranquil years ahead than these last few must have been. Thankyou for everything you do.
I've been making my way back through your videos after having discovered your channel a few months ago, and finding this one really hit me hard. I think that now I can maybe see some of the pain you must be carrying over the past few years in some of your videos, but I also see that spark of optimism and perseverance that never seems to go away, either. Sending you my best wishes and thanks for continuing to make such relaxing and entertaining material. Safe travels Steve.
My Girlfriend couldn’t wrap head around why I was watching a guy camp behind a billboard and why I laughed my head off every time he cracked a beer. Eventually she got hooked too and started watching with me and loving every reference to “beautiful wife”. You’ve become a staple in our house Steve. Love from Tampa, FL
Tampa native here as well, we are here for you Steve! I could not even begin to fathom the pain of losing my long time Girlfriend so suddenly, and the way he described it means it must have been so traumatic for him. My heart breaks for the fella. The worst things always seem to happen to the best people sometimes. Such heartbreak in a 4 minute video. Incredibly sad.
@Audrey Jones You're so cool, your a Lil white girl with no friends. Imagine. Imagine being 12 years old, having no friends, and disrespecting a man's wife for no reason. It's time to grow up honey😐.
Found your channel through your roundabout camping video and I watched through the whole thing not just because I was intrigued by the premise but because you came of as super chill and easy going, I'm 5 months late but I'm really sorry for your loss and wish you all the best in the future, nobody deserves to lose a loved one, take care and I'm going to continue watching this channel prosper and in support of you and your wife. Stay strong.
Same experience on my end here. Randomly stumbled upon his roundabout camping vid a few days ago and have been watching through the rest of his videos ever since. Nothin but positive vibes from the new fan Steve.
This absolutely broke my heart seeing steve so emotional. Been watching this channel since i was 18 and im now about to be 23. Will forever be grateful for the content u provide us just to give us even an ounce of enjoyment. God bless u brother
I only just recently was introduced to your channel and I've been hooked. This popped up in my recommended today. I can't imagine it's gotten any easier for your but I just want to say thanks for your content. It has helped me through a difficult time in my life.
You poor sweet man. I don’t know why this ended up on my feed, and I can’t say I’m happy it did. Sorta the opposite of happy right now. But what I am happy about is that I got to find out about Jess. She sounds like an incredible person. I can tell just from what little you’ve said that the world is poorer without her. I’m glad I got to hear about her and know that she was in this world, making it a bit better every day. Thank you for sharing.
I just found this channel and it has brought me joy and happiness just watching you have great adventures and fun times and when I heard this news it was heartbreaking hearing this and I just want to know you’ll get through it rest in peace my condolences
The best advice I received after the passing of my wife was, "It's OK not to be OK". This gave me permission to grieve instead of being strong and stoic. May God bless you in this season.
I hope that we are on our way to creating a world where everybody just understands that. When I see people saying that they had to hear that from somebody to realize it it makes very scared for humanity.
Agreed. And you don’t owe any explanation. It is on to not be ok. 🙏 I’m really sorry for your loss. I’ll pay it forward from now on in the name your beautiful wife. ❤️
I feel your pain, my friend. I lost my wife of 51 years back in 2016. It is hard coming to terms with the passing of a loved one. My prayers are with you.
I don't want you to take this the wrong way because I mean this with the upmost sincerity and respect. But how do you keep going, what keeps you moving?
@@OneTrueRat It may not be the exact same answer but possibly close. Some of us develop the drive to keep living on in honor of them because that's what they wouldve wanted. Plus, in the end we hope to see them again on the other side someday.
"On saturday, beautiful wife and I went to bed. On sunday only I woke up." I never thought 2 senteces could hold so much pain and sorrow. I'm truly devastated. I came across your youtube channel during the hardest covid pandemic moment here in Brazil and your videos quickly became an escape from all the sadness and anxiety that we, as a nation, were feeling. They were wholesome in a modest, yet truthful, way. I began to view you, beautiful wife and crazy neighbor almost as distant friends that I could come in contact with through the videos. Hearing the news about Jess's death is like losing a friend in a way. I hope you find the strength to go through this time of grief, and allow yourself to feel what needs to be felt. She'll always live in the hearts of the people she touched, good people always do. Take care Steve.
I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Been going through the older videos. And then some of the newer. I was wondering what happened to your wife. She wasn't mentioned in the newer. Well, I just had time to go back through and I seen this video. I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I will be praying for you. I know it's been a year, but still, we will be praying for you. Thank you for your videos.
DONT YOU EVER SAY SORRY FOR CRYING. you are the man. you had a wonderful wife. she will always be here with you. and you will see her again. Love you brother. and also, never not allow yourself time for grief. I'm 10 months in to my loss of my daughter. NEVER not allow yourself time.
I recently started watching your videos, and out of the blue this one popped up. It’s impossible not to feel deeply for you, because we see what kind of a person you are in your stealth videos - there was a reason your marriage was to another beautiful human being. Because of kind hearted people like her, people like me get groceries each week that we otherwise could not afford to buy - thank you. 💖
I share your grief , Steve as I too lost my own beautiful wife over here in the UK in April. A Canadian friend offered the most helpful words of comfort in that the love of my life had been spared the fear so often accompanying the end for so many others. Keeping busy has kept me sane since losing her and I hope to see more of your adventures when you feel up to it. Incidentally, my wife also supported a local charity for the homeless. Love to you and yours at this difficult time. Bob x
I watched this video when it came out and it broke my heart for a couple days. Here I am again, bawling again. Love truly is the essence of life. We love you Steve, hope it got a little easier by now.
I just came across your channel a few days ago and already have been binge watching. I just saw this yesterday and am so sorry for your loss. Especially being young and unexpected. Again, no words can describe what you’ve gone through (and still are going through). I hope and pray you’re on the beautiful road of healing
“she was the real deal” I love this quote, and I loved hearing that Jess loved giving. I’m going to go out of my way and give this week, for Jess. Love you Steve!
Steve, I’m just discovering your awesome videos. Came across this one and can’t begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I’m glad to see you’re still out here doing what you do and I know your wife is rooting you on. I’m sending all the positive vibes your way that I possibly can.
Steve, I have no words. I can't believe that you went through this. These last few years have been unbelievably hard, for a lot of us. Thank you for keeping doing what she loved watching you do, I have been enjoying your videos for years now.
Never seen this channel before in my life but this popped into my feed. This will be lost in the ocean of comments but I think its the thought that counts. I'll say a prayer for your beautiful wife and I'll see about donating to the charities she liked. As for anyone else passing through here that sees my comment feel free to pray for my gf who I'm going to make into my wife. No one deserves the pain this man is going through. Best of luck to you and your families champs stay strong.
A change in the weather is known to be extreme But what's the sense of changing horses in midstream? I'm going out of my mind With a pain that stops and starts Like a corkscrew to my heart Ever since we've been apart (Bob Dylan)
Hey Steve, I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and is has to be one of the most wholesome channels I’ve ever seen. I’m really sorry for your loss, the way you always referred to her as your beautiful wife always brought a smile to my face. Just wanted to let you know that your channel has brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people and please know that the community is here for you and will always hunker down with you. Thanks Steve for all the inspiration.
It’s really nice to hear other RUclipsr’s mourn together over something so tragic. Shows how much they care! Steve and his family will appreciate it! Thank you Hannah! ❤️
Thank you Dr. Hannah for sharing your thoughts. It's nice that another RUclips I follow also shares the grief of Steve. I was in shock when I watched his announcement. Thanks.
I know the pain. I lost my fiancee June 3, 2016. We were going to get married. She died from a pulmonary embolism. She was only 25. We had a daughter born March 30th, same year. After I lost her I was inconsolable for a week. I snapped out of it and took care of our daughter, who is 6 years old now. Every once in a while I sit and just think of her. My grieving hasn't ended.
Hi wil.I just wanted to say, my heart goes out to you. I lost my wife not so long ago after 25 years together. She died of MND.And now 4 years later she is always in my thoughts. As long as you remember your partner they will always be with you. I have now found a lovely partner and we are getting married next year, but my wife will always be with me in my thoughts. I wish you all the very best for whatever the future holds.
I know your pain man, was woken out of a deep sleep to be told that my gf of over 5 years was in a car accident and had passed and her last words " Tell Chris i love him " Still hurts just thinking about her final moments and not being able to be by her side. Time will help but surrounding yourself with people and things you are passionate about is the best option while you go through this. Hope it gets better buddy, take care.
Dude. My heart broke when I read your comment. You are truly heroic for not only keeping on past that tragedy but being here for someone else who is suffering and helping them out by some consoling advice. God bless. May your girlfriend Rest In Peace.
RUclips recommended me this video, and all I want to say is... I'm so sorry for your loss, Steve. I may not know your wife all that well since I'm new here, but she sounds like a wonderful person. Take all the time you need to grief. 😔💔
love you steve, here for you.
this is so incredibly sad
You guys are the best I hope to see a collab one day thanks for being real mav
It's great to see you here Mav
Love that your subscribed to Steve! Bit of nostalgia in this sadness. Class act Mav. Cheers 🍻 Yes I was shocked when I opened RUclips and saw the title of this video, my heart sank 😰
Hey Mav 💐🙏😥
I'm so sorry Steve.
So sorry Steve.

So sorry to hear this 😢
I am sorry For your loss Steve from Francis Cook jr In Crown Point New York USA
An absolute punch in the gut. The character of a man can many times be judged by the friends he keeps and right now the Camping with Steve Family has over 1,000,000 great friends praying for him. Stay strong Steve.
Hey Steve. I'm rewatching this video because I'm about to loose my wife. I'm by her side now at Hospice. Thank you for making this video. Everyone, please take care of your other half. Don't let them work too hard ❤

I’m so sorry. I’ll say a prayer for her souls and your family 😔
A year later. Steve I just want you to know me and a lot of people think about you. It tears me up to see a wonderful human being like you in such excruciating pain. She really seemed like the absolute real deal. Rest in peace beautiful soul.
Hey dude, I've loved watching your stealth camping videos lately. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. You got a lot of love and people rooting for you out here in youtube land.
Hellyeah brother
Wow amazing that of all people my other favorite RUclipsr watches Steve as well! If we can get together somehow to help out that would be amazing also when the time is right you guys should go stealth camping together hell bring crazy neighbor along as well ! Much love from shitty Seattle!

Steve I can’t put into words how much my heart hurts for you. I as well as the million plus other people here are happy to offer anything we can to help. Love yah buddy.

Yeah I'm in shock and I'm crying and I'm so sad for him. The comments and his followers are good people. He's good people. I wish there was something that we could do for him
I just found your video channel tonight. Last week I lost my wife, I am 45 and she was 44 married 21 years. She was healthy with no indications of any health issues. She suffered a massive stroke out the blue. I had the one too, I know everyone thinks that but no two ways about it she was. If you look for support for widows, there are a million resources. If you look for widowers, maybe one or two. None of them are focused on support while in our age range which is different. Sorry if the preceding is less than stellar on the grammar front but I don’t give a shit. She was my world, and I am trying to accept living without her.
Im so sorry. You guys are so young and life is so unfair. May the Lord lead you through the paths that lie ahead.One day............one day, you will rest easy.
My dad passed away in 1998 at age 47 (I was 16, my twin sisters were 20, and my brother 21)….cancer…..never smoked a day in his life, totally outdoorsy and athletic. A friends wife, mother of 4 littles, had a brain aneurysm and passed, early 30’s….totally healthy otherwise, just got a headache and went to the hospital and it just happened. We are so fragile and nobody knows WHO it is going to hit. Even healthy ppl can go unexpectedly.
I'm very sorry to hear that and I hope that you have found some social support amongst those who can truly empathize and understand what you are going through.
you can do it. live life for her.
Rest in peace to your wonderful wife. I am here if you ever want a chat.
You’ve got this 👊
I just watched 3 hours of your videos. The last 2 were of Crazy Neighbor's heading toward heaven, and I just learned of your beautiful Jess, too.. I'm sending you bucketloads of love and support. Please come around at your pace.... the comments show how impactful you are to each person watching your videos. Helped my day immensely. Thank you for your insights, and for showing up and carrying on. Life loves you through each day....
Very beautiful ❤️
this is heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss

My heart goes out to you and Jess’s family Steve. Really am sorry for your loss. Please reach out if ever you just want a chat. Appreciate we have a time difference but I’ll be on the other side of the phone if you need someone to talk to.
Your the best love u
I feel so bad for him
good to hear from you Mike !
Say hi to the old man and your mate at bushcraft tools eh?
Definitely watched him from beginning heart wrenching.
TA its just shockingly sad, fair play dude for reaching out , god bless and thank you for all you give of yourself and like Steve have created a fellowship of good people.
Hey bud, I know this is a bit of an old video, but a caring comment won’t hurt I hope.
Two years ago, my wife and two daughters passed away in a drunk driving accident. When it first happened, I was actually mad at myself. I was mad I wasn’t there. I was mad I couldn’t have stopped it. I was mad I couldn’t be there to help them. Instead, I was off buying Christmas presents for the three of them.
The pain was unbearable. It felt like the comfy walls of my life had been torn down, and suddenly I was all alone. It took me over 4 months to even want to leave the house. I had no motivation, because my motivation had been killed in a car crash.
You deserve to take however long you feel is necessary to stand yourself backup, dust off your gears, and get back out into doing what you love. It’ll never stop hurting, and I’m sure you know that. But use that hurt as a way to push yourself. Take every step with the thought that you’re doing exactly what she would have wanted you to do.
I’m sorry bud. I’m so, so sorry. And I’m sure you know as much as I do that nothings gonna bring her back. Nothings gonna bring the three things I cared about most back either, but I can honor them. You waking up each day is your way of honoring her beautiful soul, and I hope you know that. You seem like a truly awesome guy and you deserve all the love and the praise, and you deserve to know that, even though she may have passed, you can still go out and rock the fucking world for her.
Take care bud I really do wish you the best❤️
Sorry about that man
Sending love.
sorry for you lost i will take your advice incase
much love
Damn bro..stay strong..that's a rough story..and would break most people.keep grinding
I've been following your videos for a few years now. I rarely leave comments, but I thought you'd like to hear this. Since this video went up, I started donating at least 1% of my income to the Salvation Army and local food banks in my area, in memory of your beautiful wife. I'm glad to see you’re staying strong after all you've gone through these past 13 months. Jess would be proud!
❤

Deepest condolences Steve. Hang in there. We are all pulling for you.
I pray the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit abides with you and your loved ones during this time. My deepest condolences.
I’m sorry God Bless Steve
Perfect comment. Just, perfect. Thanks from all of us struggling to offer our condolences to such a great guy. You nailed it. Love ya, Steve!
Worst news ive ever seen since my own Mother and Father died , as we all love Steve Beautiful wife and Crazy Neighbour Glenn , I hope Steve has family and friends supporting him at this time , his wife was too good for this world , As the great Freddie Mercury said Only the Good Die young , RIP Beautiful Wife Jess xxx
Awwww buddy I'm so sorry
"She was the real deal."
She must have been, or you wouldn't be coming apart like this. She must have been something. As a man who has lost family recently here, I sympathize with your pain. For what it is worth, my prayers are with you.
Whenever you go camping, she will be with you.
I think I'll go ask around the food bank that runs out of the Lutheran church downtown and see if they need any donations or a helping hand. If nothing else, they have scheduled meals for the homeless and the otherwise needy, and I can cook.
God bless, Steve.
God bless you too Sanderford

@@jasonvargas7564 Not the time nor the place. A man has lost his wife. Be respectful, or be quiet.

@@raviolipaw9015 Thank you.
Hi Steve , I know your pain, the same thing happened to me on the 28-1-2024, My darling wife passed in the night age 64, Im devastated and I do not know how I going to live on with out my darling Pam, I like you never had a chance to say goodbye and tell her how much I loved her. This is so hard to deal with and come to the relization that I will never see my darling wife Pam again. all the best mate ,, Phil from Aussie
When all seems lost, and you feel alone in this existence...remember Him, who created you, even if Australia as a whole has turned his back on him. He loves you both. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!
@@fernandez3841 "Him" doesn't exist.
@@fernandez3841Telling someone about a higher power doesn't exactly help the pain of losing your best friend that you have been with for 20+ years. Take the god speech somewhere else
I hope you're doing well Phil, I'm rooting for you
You will see her again, God wants you to live out your plan for as long as you can in this boat that he put you in this time around, perhaps the next seas that you sail, her soul will be within the bosun, and yours, the shipmaster.
Steve I know exactly how you feel I just went through the exact same thing, my wife and I laid down to take a nap I woke up and she didn't. This has been the most traumatizing thing I have ever been through, and I'm 71 years old she was 60 no health problems Nothing She had had a heart attack in her sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do It's so hard I hope after a year now that things are better for you, I don't think I can handle it I miss her so much Thanks Steve take care.
🩵✨️🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time.
I don't know how this came across my youtube homepage, never seen this channel before, but this was very moving and a reminder to not take my life or those of my loved ones for granted. Jess sounded like a really special woman from what you shared in this video and I wish you well Steve.
This was the same for me, this feed just came up on my channel yet I had never seen Steve before. So this is for Steve because you crossed my path: You are being thought about as you go through this difficult time. Losing a close loved one is the toughest and Jess sounded very selfless, very loving and giving. I am sorry you are going through this. Sending you one of over a million hugs…you are doing what Jess would have wanted and this shows your selflessness…to keep going, to keep giving and working which is a huge inspiration to those also feeling loss and pain. You have touched more hearts than you will ever know as not all will comment but they will feel this candid and raw video. Thank you for sharing that this beautiful being called Jess existed as well as showing another one…you are an amazing person and your vids look extremely interesting. We need more people like you in this world. Keep strong my friend! 🙏❤️
Same here! All the best to you folks!
Same here... I wish you a lot of strength!
Same here... Have no clue who this is... But I stand in solidarity with you bro. My heart just sank for you. Other than what I've typed, I have no words... And I always have words...
Hang in there Steve I've never met...
I'm sure she was in good hands here on earth... You seem like a solid dude (you can tell in your sincerity) and I'm sure she's in the best hands now.
This just came up on my YT feed too although I had heard about Steve’s loss of Jess through others I follow.
Steve, I hope you’re starting to adapt and heal. I know we never get over the loss but learn to live with it for the time we have on earth until we’re reunited again with our loved ones. Sending hugs from 🏴 to you. ❣️
I didn't expect this to appear in my feed and I don't know you Steve, but my deepest condolences to you. I've never been married or had a girlfriend, but losing someone important in general is something everyone can relate to, I can see your great sadness while trying to hold it together.
When you said your wife was the "real deal" I believed you, it seems that far too often truly life-changing and heart touching people we meet are called home early. Hurts more in a way since you don't come across people with conviction much these days.
I hope you bounce back from this difficult time in time, but always remember that you owe it to her and you owe it to yourself to always keep her and the time you spent together in your memories.
Same here, I've lost a few family members some close others I was too young to really know, but I feel for him and wish him the best. Stay strong steve!
Life changing heart touching people called home early ☹️ it’s always the fucking way man. Life is so bitter sweet
Exactly, she might be dead in the flesh...but in thought?
Shes only fully gone once the memories he bears dissapear. I hope he doesnt commit suicide and instead decides to give those memories justice.
that's a wonderfull reaction my guy... Thanks you for this.
Who’s cutting onions ffs

This is the first time I've come across your channel, Steve, but I want you to know that I'm so, so sorry for your loss and I hope you have a good network of people around you to help you through this difficult time.
Well said. This is also my first time seeing his channel as well. So very sad. 😢
My dad passed away on August 16 at 4 A.M+ and it only few weeks ago that happened. It's just so sudden to me even right now i'm still thinking what could've been the day if he still around. Let me tell you, it's like your whole world just freaking shift and collapse into pieces and it's not the same feeling like the way you used to
Other people don't even get a wife due to birth defects, ugliness, and mental issues. They are left to rot.
I'll rub one out to his tears and her cadaver.
i feel bad for him, i mean it's so sudden... i wonder what happened? dying in your sleep when you aren't old is so random and could basically happen to anyone, anytime, scary to think about.... RIP to her though, I can only imagine what he's going through.
@@thekamotodragon I wonder that too. You don't die randomly when you're young. It's terrible

not sure why i’m seeing this now, but it brought me to your channel. i hope you have found peace, your wife must have been so, so special. RIP
This breaks my heart Steve. We can’t all physically be there for you but we’re all here for you in spirit.
@@marcGOAT1 If Steve wanted us to know he would have told us. Respect his privacy.
@@marcGOAT1 First, he uploaded the video several days after, not "immediately." Second, how she died is none of our business and it is up to Steve to decide if he wants to share that incredibly personal detail with the public. Third, has it occurred to you that they might not even know the cause of death yet? Often when deaths occur suddenly, the cause isn't determined until after post-mortem examination, which takes a while. And fourth, have some respect, Man! Steve is going through the worst thing he has ever experienced and you're out here bugging him about the details. He tell you when he tells you, if he feels like it.
@@greg4629
That's not true. Cause of death is not public interest information, and it is only included in obituaries if the family submitting it chooses to do so. In fact, the obituaries themselves only happen if a loved one of the deceased submits it for publication. Obits are meant to acknowledge and honor those we've lost, not to satisfy the morbid curiosity of the crowd.
@@marcGOAT1 You are an asshat. Wear that asshat crown with shame.
Camping with Steve made me better at camping lite and cooking. Always step 2.

Honestly seeing you and so many other RUclipsrs I follow here genuinely makes me realise why I follow you all, you are all genuinely great people. Thank you for taking the time to post and show it
Would you consider bringing a tribute of sorts on the next peak bag? Seems fitting in a way as you got to meet her and would be as close to delivering it to her up in the sky.
wait they let you in the house?
I’m so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Condolences to you and family. That you are keeping up with your dream of hunkering down be sure that an angel is watching over you. I’ve only being watching you videos after finding them for a couple weeks and often binge watch late into the night. I love looking up areas you been in to see Steve Camped Here! I definitely will be doing more for those in need in your wife’s memory. Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I’ve come across your site. I am so moved by your genuineness. In your deep loss, you found the strength and took the time to express and share the love you feel in your heart with others. What an amazing compliment you have made to Jess who was able to bring out the depths of emotion that you did. She certainly must have been an extraordinary woman. There’s no need to apologize for having recognized how she impacted and changed your life in such positive and profound ways. I’ll remember you in my prayers as I think of you and these moments you selflessly shared with others in your time of grief.~~ Tate’s mom
Hi Steve. I highly doubt you will see this comment among the thousands of other ones, but I just wanted to say I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I only recently discovered your content but you seem like such an awesome, caring and loving man and the last person something like this should happen to. Your references to ‘beautiful wife’ in your videos are really touching and showed to me your love and admiration for her.
I am 17 and I lost my mother in January and watching this video, something really resonated within me and I began crying for nearly 15 minutes. Completely unexpected considering I don’t even know you but I feel a deep empathy for what you are going through and it is truly an indescribable pain. I’m so so sorry for your loss.
Please take as much time as you need to grieve and surround yourself with the ones you love and trust. Don’t pay mind to those 1% of horrible people who leave negative comments, they are absolute scum who would never say these things in public I’m sure, the cowards. I’m keeping you in my thoughts at the moment and sending best wishes to you and your family. You can do this and pull through Steve, everyone is behind you. Lots of love ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss as well. Grief catches you off guard sometimes when you least expect it.

Hey brother, I just found your videos yesterday. I’ve been binge watching them from newest to oldest and noticed you had a ring on in the McDonald’s drive through video. You seem like such a great and genuine guy, and even though I’ve only been a fan for a day my heart shattered when I saw the title of this video. You make the world a better place for millions of people who love your content, and I’m sure your wife was incredibly proud and felt so lucky to be with such a genuine source of light in such a tough world.
My deepest condolences, Steve. Take all the time you need. Your community stands by your side.

@Bear Greendale Steve's hurting right now because he's lost his wife, and you're using his comment section to spout mumbo jumbo about covid 19 vaccines. Have some respect and bugger off.
@Bear Greendale I have also had members of my family injured but this really is not the time for all of that right now. We do not know what happened and honestly it's not our concern. This man is in real real pain and needs encouraging words right now.
@Bear Greendale what don't you understand about respect?
YOU DON'T GO TO A FUNERAL AND START SPOUTING YOUR DEATH THEORIES AT A GRIEVING PROCESSION.
READ THE ROOM. LEAVE.
Came to say just that
Never watched one of your videos before, but this one popped up on my Home Screen for whatever reason. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. The fragility, cruelty, and shortness of life are things we try our best to avoid until they all decide to jump us at once. It's a hard thing to go through, and it's something that I hope I never have to experience. I don't know you, her, or your story, but given the way you talk about her she sounded like an amazing person. I wish you the best of luck. Keep fighting, even when it feels impossible. That's what she would want. Keep going for her.
His stealth camping in public places is something you got to see to believe he really gets it figured out gets old comfy Cooks his food relaxes drinks his beer and it's really a fun channel to watch
Same - oh man so sorry
I never watched one of your videos but on September 15th I woke up after surgery only to be told my beautiful Sandy had died. A year later and I'm still an emotional wreck. My health has deteriorated greatly due to my grief. I'm truly sorry for your loss you will be in my prayers. If you are not sure where you will spend eternity I suggest you get saved, it would be terrible not to spend eternity with your wife it's comforting to know when I die I'll be with my lovely wife. Alcohol will destroy your life I know first hand I've been sober since April 2003. I went from a functioning drunk to sober overnight by truly asking God Almighty to take away my desire for alcohol and he did. No relapses just sober overnight. My only child my son died from muscular dystrophy and alcohol eased the pain but not for long so please take my advice and I hope you find peace
@@1STGeneral Right. Alcohol & drugs rob you of precious time, & by not living every day to its fullest, is to dishonor the deceased.
Same for me! Steve I don’t know you, your video popped up on my feed. My heart goes out to you. What you’re going through is beyond understanding. Jess sounds a beautiful, warm amazing lady. I can feel that by how you speak of her ❤️. Sending love and hugs to you and all around you ❤️
My heart goes out to you, sir. I know it's been a year since, but the pain seems like it barely fades. Praying for strength for you 🙏
Steve you ROCK. Strong and adventurous. Definitely inspiring and you motivate me alot , thanks.
I lost mine 2 weeks ago to cancer. She was 44 - she was everything.
Hey Wade, all we can do is distract ourselves from the glooming sadness and wait for the time to pass. Stay strong buddy. She will be much happier if she knows you recover soon. RIP.
Sorry:(
Sorry wade
God bless you, man.
Be brave brother and stay strong Wade, one love ❤

Just found this channel yesterday. Watched a bunch of stealth camping videos already, Then came across this video today. I'm crying. Rest in Peace ❤
Bro, me too.....
Similar to me. So so sad
I'm in Australia, and subscribed to your channel 3 days ago. This has just come up for me. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's very raw, and you may never recover. I lost my beloved husband in 2016, and it still feels like yesterday. Sending you love from Australia x
Hi Steve. last weekend my son and I spent two days overhauling a beautiful woodland walk near where we live in Marbella, Spain. We cleared a bunch of fallen trees and we picked up bags of trash. We did it in honour of your beautiful wife, Jess. I could always tell how much you loved her and how much you guys complemented each other. Your overwhelming loss is just about everyone's worst nightmare. Every time we walk the 'Beautiful Wife' walk we will think of you and Jess.
I live just outside Marbella, where is the Beautiful Wife walk?
@@ChromaEquinox it is in Nagueles close to the quarry. It is the short loop about 2.2km
What a great way to honnor her
Ik none of you and I'm literally sobbing after reading this because it's so beautiful and my heart is breaking for this man..😢..there is so much love compassion and good in this world and in times like these strangers come together for the love of their brother and humanity..This is what the definition of being human really is..May the Lord bless all whom showed Steve so much love and compassion....There is hope for all us!
@@skyebluv4487 have a great weekend.
I do not follow your content Steve. This showed in my feed. I still clicked and immediately feel the passion for what you do here and more importantly did together. Words fall short in a situation like this...but to honor Jess, her uncoditional kindness and love, I will go through my apartment and put aside clothes and other things to donate to local organisations. Ive never done this before, but I am moved. God bless, stay strong, my thoughts go out to you and those closest. ♡
I second this. I am new here but moved by Steve and his Beautiful Wife, and your comment.

I lost my wife just before Christmas in ‘22 she was not only my wife but also my best friend. I feel for your loss, thanks for the video
Wishing you all the best and hopefully you're at peace
So sorry 🙏🏻❤️
Love from Northern Ireland man, so sorry for your loss, but please stay strong!
Sorry for your loss.
One of the hardest things is that the one person who could best help you through this is the one who's gone.
I feel for you
Find a support group if you can - it can make a huge difference
I discovered your videos about 2 weeks ago and have enjoyed them so much. I saw this today and I know time has passed, but, I'm sorry for your loss. You seem like such a genuine guy and I'm sorry this tragedy befell you. Be well, friend.
I never seen this channel before, but I feel like there was such an adventure I missed and it still hurts me to here. As a married man myself I can't comprehend the feelings, prayers for you, love you brother. Please take all the time you need, condolences.

Man I don’t even watch your channel. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I’m watching one of your videos and I just wanna say that I’m so very sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine losing my significant other. My heart and prayers go out to you tonight all the way from Tennessee. Again man, I’m truly sorry for your loss and you have my most sincere condolences. Stay strong my man. I know that’s allot easier said than done considering the circumstances.

So many wonderful people express care for your situation. I lost my wife in 2005 so I do understand! I honor your wife! Bless you sir!
I’m so sorry! I just found your channel two days ago, and I’ve been binge watching. This breaks my heart for you. She sounds like she was an amazing person. I love the idea of care packages. ❤
I lost my wife last October. It feels like the worst thing ever. I would like to pass on some helpful tips that helped me through the tremendous grief that comes with losing your wife. 1. Eat well. 2. Try and get as much rest as possible. Maximize your sleep. There's no way you can deal with everything that comes with grief unless you sleep well. 3. Familiarize yourself with the 5 stages of grief. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. everyone is different, and you may jump from one to another quickly, or hang around one stage for a while. this is all normal. There are lots of resources online that will walk you through those stages. 4. Don't be afraid to lean on those around you in your community. There's nothing wrong with getting help. 5. You will get beyond this. It takes time to heal and grieve. It'll never be the same, but it will get better. Love you sir. I'm praying peace and comfort for you.
I wanna tell you that I think it’s so kind you’ve shared this…. I’m grateful to God I have my wife every day that I do. I can’t imagine this pain. Thank you for passing this along. I intend to share it with friends that have experienced a recent loss. 🙏
100%
My Sisterly Support is with you x
This is the kind of love the world needs.
OMG, no way. God bless her soul. 🙏. Steve my heart goes out to you. 😔. God bless
I think you have everyone's sincere condolences Steve. All the best to you. Take care of yourself.

@@ekn4514 what he say if you don’t mind telling me he either deleted it or got his comments taken down
Man, just stumbled upon your videos recently and have started watching my way through a good few of them to keep my mind from brooding over my own circumstances.
It's mortifying to find out how much tragedy you've had to endure. I really don't know what to say, but I wish you the best. You seem a fantastic person and I hope you have more tranquil years ahead than these last few must have been. Thankyou for everything you do.
I've been making my way back through your videos after having discovered your channel a few months ago, and finding this one really hit me hard. I think that now I can maybe see some of the pain you must be carrying over the past few years in some of your videos, but I also see that spark of optimism and perseverance that never seems to go away, either. Sending you my best wishes and thanks for continuing to make such relaxing and entertaining material. Safe travels Steve.
My Girlfriend couldn’t wrap head around why I was watching a guy camp behind a billboard and why I laughed my head off every time he cracked a beer. Eventually she got hooked too and started watching with me and loving every reference to “beautiful wife”. You’ve become a staple in our house Steve. Love from Tampa, FL
My man, Chris.
Tampa native here as well, we are here for you Steve! I could not even begin to fathom the pain of losing my long time Girlfriend so suddenly, and the way he described it means it must have been so traumatic for him. My heart breaks for the fella. The worst things always seem to happen to the best people sometimes. Such heartbreak in a 4 minute video. Incredibly sad.
@Audrey Jones You're so cool, your a Lil white girl with no friends. Imagine. Imagine being 12 years old, having no friends, and disrespecting a man's wife for no reason. It's time to grow up honey😐.
Also a tampa resident here for your Steve
Found your channel through your roundabout camping video and I watched through the whole thing not just because I was intrigued by the premise but because you came of as super chill and easy going, I'm 5 months late but I'm really sorry for your loss and wish you all the best in the future, nobody deserves to lose a loved one, take care and I'm going to continue watching this channel prosper and in support of you and your wife. Stay strong.
Welcome, thanks for watching Crow
Same experience on my end here. Randomly stumbled upon his roundabout camping vid a few days ago and have been watching through the rest of his videos ever since. Nothin but positive vibes from the new fan Steve.
Same man...
@@campingwithsteve really hope you’re doing well.
@@campingwithsteve best of luck, hope your doing better.
This absolutely broke my heart seeing steve so emotional. Been watching this channel since i was 18 and im now about to be 23. Will forever be grateful for the content u provide us just to give us even an ounce of enjoyment. God bless u brother
I only just recently was introduced to your channel and I've been hooked. This popped up in my recommended today. I can't imagine it's gotten any easier for your but I just want to say thanks for your content. It has helped me through a difficult time in my life.
You poor sweet man. I don’t know why this ended up on my feed, and I can’t say I’m happy it did. Sorta the opposite of happy right now. But what I am happy about is that I got to find out about Jess. She sounds like an incredible person. I can tell just from what little you’ve said that the world is poorer without her.
I’m glad I got to hear about her and know that she was in this world, making it a bit better every day. Thank you for sharing.
I couldn't have said this better. This also randomly showed up in my feed.
A man I've never met, in a place I've never been, yet I feel his pain as if it was mine within.
R.I.P.
That’s the way the entire works should be!
100% RIP sending prayers for my man🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Same here...😭
Amen .. 🧡
My condolences. You're an inspiration and an awesome guy. Thanks for what you do for us❤
I just found this channel and it has brought me joy and happiness just watching you have great adventures and fun times and when I heard this news it was heartbreaking hearing this and I just want to know you’ll get through it
rest in peace my condolences
The best advice I received after the passing of my wife was, "It's OK not to be OK". This gave me permission to grieve instead of being strong and stoic. May God bless you in this season.
Sorry you lost your wife man. It is definitely OK to not be OK.
I hope that we are on our way to creating a world where everybody just understands that. When I see people saying that they had to hear that from somebody to realize it it makes very scared for humanity.
Agreed. And you don’t owe any explanation. It is on to not be ok. 🙏
I’m really sorry for your loss. I’ll pay it forward from now on in the name your beautiful wife. ❤️
And anger is ok
I feel your pain, my friend. I lost my wife of 51 years back in 2016. It is hard coming to terms with the passing of a loved one. My prayers are with you.
Damn I'm sorry
I don't want you to take this the wrong way because I mean this with the upmost sincerity and respect. But how do you keep going, what keeps you moving?
@@OneTrueRat that I want to know too. Sincerely curious.
@@OneTrueRat It may not be the exact same answer but possibly close. Some of us develop the drive to keep living on in honor of them because that's what they wouldve wanted. Plus, in the end we hope to see them again on the other side someday.
Go get a nice blonde 20 year old that will hop you
My.deepest condolences brother. God bless you with His peace.
My wife died two days ago and i found your video to try to find someone that understands what im going through. Thank you for your video
Im sorry for your loss
MAY SHE REST IN HEAVEN BEAUTIFULLY IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY AMEN
I hope that you're doing okay through this painful thing..
God bless ❤❤
I’m so sorry for your 🙏 ❤
"On saturday, beautiful wife and I went to bed. On sunday only I woke up."
I never thought 2 senteces could hold so much pain and sorrow. I'm truly devastated.
I came across your youtube channel during the hardest covid pandemic moment here in Brazil and your videos quickly became an escape from all the sadness and anxiety that we, as a nation, were feeling. They were wholesome in a modest, yet truthful, way. I began to view you, beautiful wife and crazy neighbor almost as distant friends that I could come in contact with through the videos. Hearing the news about Jess's death is like losing a friend in a way. I hope you find the strength to go through this time of grief, and allow yourself to feel what needs to be felt. She'll always live in the hearts of the people she touched, good people always do.
Take care Steve.
Beautifully said.
So sorry for your loss Steve, only new to the channel but your an amazing guy bringing lots of positivity in this world ❤👏🙏 rest in peace.
I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Been going through the older videos. And then some of the newer. I was wondering what happened to your wife. She wasn't mentioned in the newer. Well, I just had time to go back through and I seen this video. I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I will be praying for you. I know it's been a year, but still, we will be praying for you.
Thank you for your videos.
I'm so sorry for your loss Steve, she really sounds like she was a wonderful person.
What happened to her?
Def did not anticipate to see you here in the comments. Hope all is well man
@@TheTHutch23 same, wild to see the broad range of people attracted to this channel
Unlike you..
You no room on this platform to say shit get lost dude 😒
I lost my wife in a car accident in 2019, I’ve never been the same since. I’m right here with you. all the best to you man ❤️
im sorry to hear that, Dawson. I hope you find peace and happiness soon in life!
May she rest in peace. Until you two meet again.

@@leoncraftmc grow up little child. mommy will pull the plug and than there is no more minecraft and fortnite for you.
@@leoncraftmc DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
DONT YOU EVER SAY SORRY FOR CRYING. you are the man. you had a wonderful wife. she will always be here with you. and you will see her again. Love you brother. and also, never not allow yourself time for grief. I'm 10 months in to my loss of my daughter. NEVER not allow yourself time.
I recently started watching your videos, and out of the blue this one popped up. It’s impossible not to feel deeply for you, because we see what kind of a person you are in your stealth videos - there was a reason your marriage was to another beautiful human being. Because of kind hearted people like her, people like me get groceries each week that we otherwise could not afford to buy - thank you. 💖
NEVER apologize for crying Steve. My heartfelt apologies to you and family. Thoughts, prayers, and blessings
always. Take the time you need.
You communicate about life and otherwise. That's it, my man.
I share your grief , Steve as I too lost my own beautiful wife over here in the UK in April. A Canadian friend offered the most helpful words of comfort in that the love of my life had been spared the fear so often accompanying the end for so many others. Keeping busy has kept me sane since losing her and I hope to see more of your adventures when you feel up to it. Incidentally, my wife also supported a local charity for the homeless. Love to you and yours at this difficult time. Bob x
Sorry to hear, hope youre doing better 🙏
I hope you find your wife again one day, bob x
I watched this video when it came out and it broke my heart for a couple days. Here I am again, bawling again. Love truly is the essence of life. We love you Steve, hope it got a little easier by now.
I just came across your channel a few days ago and already have been binge watching. I just saw this yesterday and am so sorry for your loss. Especially being young and unexpected. Again, no words can describe what you’ve gone through (and still are going through). I hope and pray you’re on the beautiful road of healing
“she was the real deal”
I love this quote, and I loved hearing that Jess loved giving. I’m going to go out of my way and give this week, for Jess. Love you Steve!
@Larynx cool Not cool dude do that somewhere else learn respect!
No! Steve I am so sorry. Your fans are all here for you! Love you man❤️

Steve, I’m just discovering your awesome videos. Came across this one and can’t begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I’m glad to see you’re still out here doing what you do and I know your wife is rooting you on. I’m sending all the positive vibes your way that I possibly can.
Steve, I have no words. I can't believe that you went through this. These last few years have been unbelievably hard, for a lot of us. Thank you for keeping doing what she loved watching you do, I have been enjoying your videos for years now.
this man deserves more than anything in this world could ever give. if you see this, you’re exactly what people should look up to be.

Never seen this channel before in my life but this popped into my feed. This will be lost in the ocean of comments but I think its the thought that counts. I'll say a prayer for your beautiful wife and I'll see about donating to the charities she liked. As for anyone else passing through here that sees my comment feel free to pray for my gf who I'm going to make into my wife. No one deserves the pain this man is going through. Best of luck to you and your families champs stay strong.
Jesus saves 👍 amen
It popped up in my feed as well. I'm crying, I feel so bad for Steve.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you
Hey Steve, I just discovered your channel a couple days ago and is has to be one of the most wholesome channels I’ve ever seen. I’m really sorry for your loss, the way you always referred to her as your beautiful wife always brought a smile to my face. Just wanted to let you know that your channel has brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people and please know that the community is here for you and will always hunker down with you.
Thanks Steve for all the inspiration.
This is heart breaking, life is not fair. The two of you inspired so many of us. Sending you all the love and support possible.
It’s really nice to hear other RUclipsr’s mourn together over something so tragic. Shows how much they care! Steve and his family will appreciate it! Thank you Hannah! ❤️
Thank you Dr. Hannah for sharing your thoughts. It's nice that another RUclips I follow also shares the grief of Steve. I was in shock when I watched his announcement. Thanks.
Life is fair, is just how things are. Everyone dies, no way to stop it. Live everyday to its fullest and stop being selfish and rude to everyone.
@Tim Jones death is just the beginning, unless your a heathen, then you just stop being
I know the pain. I lost my fiancee June 3, 2016. We were going to get married. She died from a pulmonary embolism. She was only 25. We had a daughter born March 30th, same year. After I lost her I was inconsolable for a week. I snapped out of it and took care of our daughter, who is 6 years old now. Every once in a while I sit and just think of her. My grieving hasn't ended.
Hi wil.I just wanted to say, my heart goes out to you. I lost my wife not so long ago after 25 years together. She died of MND.And now 4 years later she is always in my thoughts. As long as you remember your partner they will always be with you. I have now found a lovely partner and we are getting married next year, but my wife will always be with me in my thoughts. I wish you all the very best for whatever the future holds.
Stay strong, Will
Hang in there buddy. God bless my man.
Hope you are well.
I come back to this yearly to remind myself to cherish those in my life before its too late.
Just found your channel, i love it, really sorry about the news. My deepest condolences.
I know your pain man, was woken out of a deep sleep to be told that my gf of over 5 years was in a car accident and had passed and her last words " Tell Chris i love him "
Still hurts just thinking about her final moments and not being able to be by her side. Time will help but surrounding yourself with people and things you are passionate about is the best option while you go through this. Hope it gets better buddy, take care.
Dude. My heart broke when I read your comment. You are truly heroic for not only keeping on past that tragedy but being here for someone else who is suffering and helping them out by some consoling advice. God bless. May your girlfriend Rest In Peace.
@@Skyezrlj Thank you very much sincerely 🥲
