EastIdahoNews.com and Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Idaho Falls and Pocatello are partnering to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
Brad Pearson is a physical therapist who has been fighting long-haul Covid for several months. The illness and exhaustion have forced him to work from home.
Earlier this week, he heard someone yelling outside his Blackfoot home. He went to the front door and a man working in the field across from Pearson's house was asking for someone to help him. The man's colleague had collapsed and did not have a pulse.
Pearson called 911 and went across the street. For over 10 minutes, he did chest compressions on the man until the paramedics arrived. Pearson was exhausted and said he prayed constantly for the strength to keep the compressions going. The man was rushed to the hospital and survived - with doctors crediting Pearson for getting the man's heart beating again.
We decided to pay Pearson a visit and thank him for his quick actions. Watch the video above to see the surprise!

He listened to God’s voice and saved a family from tragedy. Hero!
This is a true American hero, who truly cares about other people…. THIS IS AMERICA!!!
speaking as a former EMT, cpr is the most physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting thing you can do. God bless you sir
Former EMT and retired nurse. You are exactly right! It's exhausting but it's truly amazing when someone survives because of it! ❤️
I guess you haven't had a baby or watched a woman give birth.
retired paramedic / firefighter. not only exhausting and draining, shows what fast response and training can do! never take your first aid lightly it will save someone else's life!
What an amazing humble man, in tears because he could help save a life. His reaction to the incident sailed it all, makes you realise there are still good people out there, just wish there were more like him. I pray he recovers from his long covid and can get back to his normal healthy self. Very deserving ❤️🙏🏻
Never done it myself, but I've heard this over and over from so many qualified people.
Brad is an older gentleman who was recovering from a RESPIRATORY DISEASE THAT HAS KILLED MILLIONS!
Ran... While calling and talking... Only to arrive and perform CPR for MINUTES...
You can talk about the great powers of adrenaline and all but... Dang...
You are a hero, sir.
Nothing more, nothing less
Such a kind, selfless and humble man. I'm glad he was honored for what he did, and I hope he is recognized by his city. God sent the right man for the job.
Indeed
Amen 🙏
The hand of God... what a precious thing to be a part of. Very touching and humbling ❤️🙏
I think you're completely right!
There are angels among us who work 24/7/365. And some work from home. 🙏😉🙏
@@babawali3021 Lovely statement :)
@@1BassJohn Thanks, John. Happy New Year to you and yours.
What a hero. Hope his long-term COVID improves greatly and swiftly.
Texas.
How do you know he has "long-term COVID"?
@@billwilson5341 listen at the beginning that is why he was home working
@@loaf9604: Thank you for the kind reply.
What a humble and reverent gentleman. A true hero, that God sent as an angel to help his fellow human. God bless him and the 2 other gentlemen!! Hope the patient gets well soon and they meet in a much less dire situation.
Yeah could use a bunch more of both these chaps!👌👏👏👏
@@ellenpendergast6481 pl
Absolutely
He had covid for a reason, if he didn't, he wouldn't be working from home nor would he have been able to help him.
As a former CPR Coordinator for a large metro hospital, it makes me happy to hear this story. As a Christian, I’m thankful that he paid attention to God’s call to go back to see what was happening. Glad to hear that the man survived. ♥️
The gift of life!
Amen! 🙏❣
So grateful that he listened to the still small voice. The world needs more people willing to do so.
More than one life was saved here.
This gentleman is an angel. God used him to save the man’s life.
The worker in the field that called for help is a hero too.
What an amazing man. Yes, he's correct, God used him as a tool at the right time. ❤️ 🙏🏽
How beautiful that he refers to the "gentleman" who needed help, and that God told him to go back to his porch to check. His emotion when he is telling the story speaks volumes about his heart. Sending Brad, and everyone involved blessings.
CPR is exhausting! I'm a firefighter and we will do compressions for 2 minutes before switching persons. This is truly amazing.
I'm not religious but people like Brad are a true blessing to this world. Be well Brad!
Maybe this will change your thoughts about God.❤️🙏
Thank God you're not religious 🙌🙏
Religions are of Satan.
God is about Truth and Love 🙌🙏
Jesus (son of God) said to "follow me" NOT a religion or a denomination but Him personally because it's not about religion!!!
Seek Truth 🙏🙌🙏
@@AuntBee59 I'm not religious either, and I see and appreciate the positive place your comment is coming from, but for us "non-believers" actions like these rather show us what good can come from humans and that people can do amazing things themselves. To save this life was done by this person (and the medics) and he can and should take all the credit (in my opinion) and not pass it on to a higher power. Especially when it's something so true coming from a humble person like in this video. I understand you believe in God, and this is great if your belief helps you in times when you need it. We have our own methods of staying strong in difficult times, we just don't need a god for this. In the end we have all hopefully found our ways and what works for us. All the best and happy holidays. :)
@@cdh79 well I must say that was a very polite comment. Thank you. But there is God. There is heaven. He directs most of us to do good.
I’m so sad you don’t have him in your life. One day, you will stand in front of him. And I bet if you are in a deadly accident, he will be the first you call on.
I just know you will find him. Why not now, I have no idea. You see, I was given up as a child. At 10 years old, God became my only friend. He still is.
He is a comfort to me. I can count on him. I feel he is the reason I am like I am today. A big heart. It’s because of him.
He guides me when I don’t know what to do. I couldn’t live this life without him. I pray one day you feel the same.🙏❤️
And I would like to say Merry Christmas to you. And God bless and keep you.❤️🙏🎄
@Perfect Imperfection God is NOT about Religions Satan is. Religion is the opiate of the masses and Satan IS THAT drug dealer!!!
God is about Truth and Love 🙌🙏
Jesus said to follow me NOT a religion or a denomination, but Him personally because it's not about Religion!!
I hope and pray you find this Truth 🙏
Nearly lost a 45 year long friend to covid who is also a long haul covid victim. He struggles daily.
You sir, are a fine man.
👏
A friend got at lot of help taking nac, vit d and zinc. I researched nac because i didnt know what it did. Turns out it can destroy biofilm which infections can hide under also it removes toxins from liver. He has had copd for years. Both him and and another friend with lifelong asthma said that nac made them cough up very thick stuff that blocked the airway on the way out. Stuff they had never been able to get out before.
Science, this man and CPR saved him - no miracle just luck, knowledge, perseverance and the willingness to help others. Well done Sir.
So with all due respect, it was science that set a series of "coincidences" in motion for this to be possible? It was science that told him that he needed to go back out to the porch after he first checked and everything seemed to be good? What does that kind of science sound like exactly? I'm friends with a few scientists. I'll have to ask them what it sounds like whenever science tells them to do something completely irrational and it turns out to be lifesaving.
Wow Mr. Pearson, the PT, is a hero. I hope he has recovered from COVID. I can't imagine doing CPR for 8-10 minutes by yourself. I've only done it for up to 2 to 3 minutes at a time in a CPR class, and that was tiring. Blessings to this Good Samaritan.
Heavenly Father's way of telling Brad, you may not have your usual physical strength, but with me, you have all the strength you need.
My wife and I witnessed a man passing away yesterday at the car wash . We felt terrible that we couldn’t help. We are planning on getting re-educated on CPR
Such a lovely humble christian man. He stepped up to the call.
Sure beats the kind of stories we get on the news these days. Thank you Nate and EIN for bringing these stories to our attention.
Amen. Some uplifting news for a change.
No matter your condition, God can use you for His work. Honestly brought me to tears by him giving honor to God.
What a blessing this man is.
Amen & Glory to God🙏
Wow! There is nothing impossible with Jesus. So happy everything turned out positively. Praise God!
Wow this is an amazing testimony? God is great. I cried when this god sent men said he asked god for some strength cause without god we aren’t anything
Praying that both these men have complete healing. God bless them!
2things he said: I’m thankful that I be a tool in Gods hands ❤❤🙏🙏, and my sweetheart, my wife 🥰🥰. What a man! God bless you sir. With health and peace and many years to live with your sweetheart ❤️❤️
My son was an EMT and he saved many people having heart attacks. He had the 'paddles' so that helped.
God bless this faithful Christian man.
That one got me!
Quiet humble man, hope you recover from your own issues soon to spend time with your sweetheart wife
Brad was the man needed for God's use and deserve many blessings for such marvelous work when it was called for. Bless you always.
That's what you call a real HERO, you are a life saver,
Old nurse here. If this Wonderful gentleman had not answered Gods call, and done what he did, for that long, that man would not have been salvageable. You were indeed within a Miracle. Bless you for answering Gods call. “Is it I Lord?” should be a hymn for you. ❤
Such a touching story and humble man. His 'sweetheart' found a good one. Greetings fromnthe UK.
What about the "spanish guy" who actually called out and initiated all of this? He's the real hero.
His tears were contagious. I cried every time he did. Such a wonderful man.
Y'all need to do a news segment on them meeting each other when the man is well enough!
I have been taught CPR...however have never had to use it.....what an angel from heaven this man is....hope everyone involved has a long happy healthy life
He gives God the credit for having him to go. God bless him. Great story
Made me cry. Sweetest man ever.
Praying for both men, each facing their own health problems, a very speedy recover. I love FGF. ❤️🙏
Wow! What a testament! Amazing story.
A man in the right place at the right time. God bless him.
God prepared you for that day when you helped that man. -28 yrs of CPR classes & this is the 1st time you did CPR. Thank you for what you did. ❣❤🩹
My sweetheart ,my wife. What a man!
I'm so glad he was called to save this man. I am so glad that his family doesn't have to deal with the loss of him. Both of them have been blessed by this.
May God continue to work through compassionate people to help others I'm need. And may blessings continue to abound for this selfless gentleman who saved a life.
I LOVE this man's credit to God. Sending prayers & well wishes from Washington, D.C.
I've never seen such a humble human being. Yes, God usually sends his best angels to save or help someone. Bravo to this guy! God bless!
Thank Goodness for this man! Sir, you’re a angel. I hope you have a blessed rest of your life 💙
Could not have said it better! DITTO!
What a gift he was able to give. It is a blessing that this man was able to find the strength with the Creator's help to save a man's life.
Thank you sir for being in the right place, at the right time, and being willing and able to assist, amen.
Feel Good Friday is a highlight of my week. This guy is so amazing - his emotion about the other man in the midst of his own suffering is beautiful and moving.
.. ...my sweetheart, my wife....
Says it all. Good man.
An amazing testament to the humanity and humility of a simple man. God bless you sir!
This guy is exhausted and you can see that. We find strength in the craziest moments. What's an amazing guy
An absolute gentleman thank you for listening to God . God used you to help with a miracle
This is so heartwarming, so happy that this man could do CPR. May God continue to heal him and bless him.
Reminds me how I need to relearn CPR again. It's been YEARS!
God bless this man for saving another mans life. ❤️
He’s a hero.
What a beautiful man. I see a true angel in everything about him!
I have long-haul covid. It's horrible. It's amazing he was able to do compressions despite it. It's a tiring thing to do for a healthy person. I wish him well and that he recovers
My Lord! My Lord! As a nurse, CPR is so exhaustive trying to save a life! God is so Good! God bless both men! I pray that both men will fully recover in Jesus Name Amen!!!
True, Gentle Man, class act!
God speed on his own health!!
Bless this man .. with people like him humanity may reign in this country once more.
This is a wonderful example of listening to the "Spirit", the inner voice that told him to go back outside. This is a wonderful kind man who was in the very best place he could be to help the man. I hope he gets better soon and that the man he saved gets well too. So wonderful.
God did a great miracle. Such a humble man who helped… God bless this man!
God used this special man to help save this mans life!!!! Godbless and its so refreshing to hear something good for a change💕💕🙏🙏💕💕
I wish this gentlemen was my neighbor!! He needs some big hugs!!
Thank you Mr Pearson for what you did for this man.
Everyone should know CPR. This is a True Hero. Love ☮️ ❤️ Compassion
Wow such a humble man! The world could use more like him
Such a wonderful story and how God used this man! You could just feel God’s presence in his life!
What a blessing. Thank you Lord for the strength you gave this gentleman and the breath of life into the field worker.
Good people do good things that man is a good man
May God Bless This Man. He's a real hero !!
Wow.... had Brad not listened to that inner voice telling him go look again, things would have turned out so different. What a lesson for EVERYONE to listen if you hear that inner voice. You are a blessing sir.
I've been trying to recover from Long Haul Covid for over a year. Covid put me so close to death that my wife, a head nurse in the Emergency Department, left the hospital to prepare the family for my death. Only be the grace of God working through the medical staff and my family did I survive. God bless this man and you for recognizing his deed.
What an absolutely beautiful man.
My mom has long haul covid, and it's so bad she can't do hardly anything for herself right now. Bless this man for what he did, and being so humble about it.
What a humble hero. A very good person.
Very touching story. What a lovely gent. I’ve recently been on the receiving end of CPR and owe my life to the ambulance crew who brought me back
Outstanding man. I pray that he recovers quickly so they can enjoy there dinner. God bless you sir and thank you for being you.
What a blessing he is to our World. You are very humble sir. Many blessings to you.
You were exactly where you were meant to be, and you listened. God blessed you with what you needed when you took that first step of faith. Thank you for your selfless example and for filling our hearts in knowing that there are people like you. Now, it is our turn to pray for you and your family. God, you know this man and you know his needs and you love him. I pray today for his healing and restore strength and good health. I know you will bless him for his leap of faith and for giving what he could to a complete stranger. Thank you for he and his family and thank you Jesus. AMEN.
Amen!!!
Amen!
Thank you, Pam, for your fine prayer comment. Blessings to you and yours from No. California.
Angels do exist thank you for being the person you are
Wow you are a true hero ❤🙏 from Texas his family and friends God works in mysterious ways ❤....
Every compression you give is staving off certain death for only that brief moment, so, to give another human enough compressions that almost ten minutes consumes is absolutely heroic and beyond amazing. Someone has their husband/father/son/brother in their living world right now because this weakened man found the strength to carry on and not give up on another.
Lord restore this man’s health
beautiful story. thank you.
I don't know why, but this gentleman looks like Clint Eastwood to me. He is a real hero!
I took one of those courses in CPR a long time ago and we were told that if you start CPR you must continue until relieved by medical personnel. This man had COVID and started it? He must have gotten some wind from our sweet Lord. I have always hoped I would never run into a situation like that .....well, at least since I came down with COPD. I couldn't do it now...all I could do is call 911. So glad the man made it
in training for cpr, my instructor, just for fun, had me go as long as I could. After 3 minutes I was exhausted. To go for 7 minutes or more this man is a superhero.
Idaho people are amazing… I’m just so thankful to get to witness greatness like this.
Wow, what a man. ' My sweetheart, my wife". 💕
Lovely, humble and compassionate guy. Glad he was able to help and I hope that the man he saved is still doing well.
What a beautiful soul. May he make a full recovery himself.
That's the guy you want for a neighbor! Bravo sir!
Thank you Nate. Love all of your segments. God Bless everyone involved
Wow what a touching story. God was really looking out for both of them. He gave the strength to one guy to help save the other guys life. I believe in miracles and this story just proved that they do happen.
