I know they do not live as long as we do. I guess that gives us the opportunity to love more. I had several dogs in my life, always two at a time. God bless these animals and their caretakers.
A beautiful sentiment. Gentle souls that pass through our lives. That's so beautiful. What a very special relationship they had with him. A cosmically blessed relationship. I wish I were so lucky. 😪 So sad.
That just shows when you raise an animal with love they're not going to attack you, example my nephew had a pitbull and he was not one to attack anyone except to protect the instinct to protect the family but we didn't let her do all that pitbull fighting, cruel the teacher animal the fight like that. She lived and she was 15 years old
So glad Jimbo received so much love, trust and care in his life from these exceptional people. What a unique bond they had. Sorry they have lost their very special precious friend.RIP Jimbo.🐻💙
Bears don't know about gratitude and kindness. Only humans know about those, and only humans think they have a soul. Anthropomorphism is not a good idea.
@@formerlyarandompropernameb9327 Thank you so much for that scripture. You have no idea the joy you have brought to my heart. I just didnt know and wasn't certain where animals were concerned. And now because you were obedient to the Holy Spirit in placing your comment many people's heartache will find comfort. Thank you
I didnt know Jimbo passed away. I am very sorry for your loss. But you all gave us a glimpse into a wonderful place. Your hearts are as true as Jimbo's. What I wouldnt give for one big bear hug. Thank you all for what you do. We love you. I will miss you Jimbo.♥
Man… the moment “gotta survive right now” fades out of a creature’s essence, they almost all become mushes. It does not surprise me in the least anymore, yet it amazes me more than ever. They all just want love, and when they feel safe they just want to GIVE love. You are blessed to have received, and given, that love.
love yall.. be blessed.. hes waiting in heaven .. playing in the waterfalls and rivers chasing fish, chasing squirrels and waiting for yall and watching.. hes happy and healthy..it wont be 2 hours heaven time before yall are all back together.. a day and 1000 years are the same in heaven.. be blessed.. he wont miss a snack and youll be together... happpy blessed easter
@@probinson4383 Go away. Your comment is highly offensive to his parents and those of us who enjoyed watching Jimbo and Jim just hanging out. The humanity and sense of humor in that huge chunk of ursine child was beautiful.
I think it is absolutely amazing how much love these bears have in their hearts. The human and bear interaction is incredible to watch. Jimbo was Huuuge :-) Lord Bless.
What a sweet and special boy. I'm so impressed how much restraint he showed with that cake--a gentlemanly bear. Today is also 24 years since I lost my first childhood dog, and even though so much time has passed I still miss her. I know it must hurt still so terribly after only a year of losing Jimbo.
I promise you that someday, many years hence, when you cross over for your next time back home, you will once again see that sweet Soul who lived the life of your first doggy! There's no doubt about it; the jury's in. May you live a very long, happy, healthy life. But one day, you'll see; as will Jim, Susan, Kerry, & everyone else.👍💕
It's hard, for sure. Over the last 24 years I've lost seven dear furry friends and never a day goes by I don't miss them. The four little lovers I currently live with help alot!
💜Jimbo Jimbo jumbo sized, your beauty and grace had us mezmerized. You're missed so much, it's been one year. But your spirit still dances with us down here. Your Pa and Ma keep you safe in their hearts This proves that you all will never part. Jimbo Jimbo jumbo bear, I know they know you're always there.🐾
How does someone get so lucky to spend there life taking care of big loving beautiful bears like Jim does. He’s truly blessed. God Bless you Jim and your family and all the animals you care for.
Some anniversaries suck, don't they? Us sub's never met Jimbo, and we miss him. Can only imagine how you guys feel. Go out right now and play with Leo, and Jenny, and Amy, and...you will feel better.
Love your words so much. Sometimes as I see these videos, I'm definitely feeling the heart of the community beating as one in support of what Susan and Jim do here. ❤️🙋🐻🌰🐿️🐦🦌🙏
Someone's cutting those dang onions again. Jimbo, you are sorely missed. You showed the world just how gentle of a giant you were. You had such a big heart. Rest In Peace, beautiful boy.
It's crazy man, he could've ripped you in pieces in a split second, yet you placed your life in his hands and trusted him that much, truly, truly, truly, beautiful my friend, the bond that you shared. R.I.P Jimbo
In this world full of so much horrendous cruelty to animals it doesn't sadden me to hear of this big lovable bears passing, because i know he was extremely lucky and had a loving and caring life full of joy. I don't even watch the channel but just saw a random clip of this big gentle bear on RUclips the other day and then saw this today. Such a majestic creature.
@@williamgreen4757 But dogs and bears have different longevity, I'm sure you know that already. Jim lived 24 years, if I'm not mistaken, and died of cancer, not of old age. Bears can live to late 20s or early 30s.
What a stunningly beautiful tribute for Jimbo, we miss You Loveable Boy!! RIP Heaven is a sweeter place because your there!!! Sending love and hugs to Susan, Jim, Kerry and all the OWC !!! God Bless You All🌹❤💋🐻💋❤🌹❤❤❤❤❤🙏💋💋💋💋💋
Just found video of Jimbo. Sad to hear he’s no longer with us. I think he is the biggest bear I’ve ever seen. Such a special connection you had with him & I can tell he was loved by many!
Perhaps Jim, Susan, and Leo loved him most of all, but all fans of this channel come in at a close second to you three. I cried when you announced this magnificent bear's death, and it's still a great pinch to my heart that he's gone. Thanks for sharing this bear with all of us. I've never seen anything like Jimbo!
@@OrphanedWildlife May this beautiful, perfect specimen of a great Kodiak Bear be at peace in Heaven for I know it was one of God's beloved certures~!😌💛
I'm a 50yr old bloke from the UK and remember watching Grizzly Adam's as a boy. Thinking how amazing it would be to have that relationship with such an animal. I have loved watching these videos and following the big guy. He will be missed from this side of the pond
I'm balling my eyes out!! God bless you guys for giving Jimbo an extraordinary life filled WITH SOOOOO much love and happiness!! RIP JIMBO YOU WERE LOVED BY MANY!!❤❤❤❤❤🙏
Jimbo brought me here long ago and i will not forget him. RiP Jimbo! Turn off your adblocker to support the work of this wonderful channel and the orphaned wildlife center!
A beautiful tribute to a one of a kind bear. Tearing up as I write. But it really showcases the sheer size of him. His muzzle alone was the size of Jim's head and Jim is not a small man [6 feet 2 at least]. RIP dear bear and friend
Thank you so very much for your heartwarming mission of raising awareness about Wildlife (ALL animals) needing, & being so richly deserving of Man's respect & responsibility for their long term well being...I can't begin to imagine Life without the powerful awe of Nature & caring about ALL animals... I still get choked up remembering that horribly sad news that your magnificent friend, Jimbo, had died... Bless your family & your tender loving loving souls...
You loved him and he loved you. He brought joy into your lives. You were a great bear loving family. What a blessing to have had Jimbo the Gentle Giant in your lives.
hes in heaven watching and waiting..a day and a 1000 years are the same in heaven.. thats less than 4 hours per 100 years.. he wont even miss a snack and yall will all be together in your primes.. bless yall doc johnny vmd sicily and congo
What a beautiful life Jimbo was, my heart cries for you. I know what it feels like to lose a wonderful member of your family. I believe Animals like Jimbo are a gift from God and you were a gift to him..bless your hearts.
I cried when I heard the news of his passing. He was such an incredible being/person. It is difficult to just consider Jimbo as just an animal. He was so gentle even though he was so powerful. He is truly missed.
Just came across this video and it made me well-up. You guys gave him a truly wonderful life! Thank you for sharing Jimbo with the world! Peace to you all!!!
Fur babies definitely become members of the family. It is very hard losing them. You can truly see that he was loved & that he loved right back. RIP Jimbo. ❤️❤️❤️🐻
What a wonderful, sweetheart of a boy he was! I could only watch for four and a half minutes before I had to stop. What a wonderful soul and such a super bond!
Every time I watch this video it brings tears of sadness and happiness to my heart. Jim I am in awe over the relationship and understanding you have with these beautiful creatures. God truly blessed you with a remarkable gift. Thanks to you and your wife for all your hard work dedication and for sharing your bears with us.
To my friends at OWC. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. And we all love you. And thank you for sharing your specials times with your special bears with us. God bless you and are thinking of you at the one year mark for losing your ‘big boy’. He was so very special and you guys gave him the best life on this earth you could. You should be proud of that. Again...thank you. And thinking of you right now. He is so beautiful. I will never get used to that.
Jimbo was truly the Goliath of Kodiak bears and yet so gentle and affectionate. I still can't get over how huge his claws were. Yet there was Jimbo playing with Jim as you would a German Shepherd or Saint Bernard. I used to be both afraid and awed by giant bears, but they can be gentle with humans too, as shown here. Someday, I would love to see your bears, Amy and Jenny, Randy and Leo. Didn't Jimbo have a huge nose? He must have been very special. I also want to thank OWC for taking care of the gentle giants in an era of climate change, habitat destruction and political indifference. RIP JIMBO!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Rest in peace Jimbo. I am happy that you and Jimbo had a loving relationship. A love for an animal runs deep into our souls. I have a Schnauzer that I am thankful to have in my life and a Husky. They give an unconditional love no human is capable of. I have had other dogs in my life and they're in dog heaven. A piece of them will always be a part of me. ♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾
Great tribute. I thought I was ready to watch this without my insides hurting and my face leaking but that was a silly thing to think. Brought me just as much smiles as tears though. Thank you. Jimbo will be there to greet you in the afterlife, of that there is no doubt. Love and peace to you all
He was Awesome. My heart goes out to the man who loved him. That teddy bear loved him. It was obvious to anyone who has had a pet how much love was between them. RIP BEAUTIFUL BEAR
He was a very special bear, indeed! I always marvelled at how very gentle he was, for such a large and strong animal, and it was clear that he truly loved his humans. You gave him the best life imaginable, and he had everything and more to enjoy with his fellow bears and his beloved humans. You too are unique, and a lot of people learned a lot about bears through you. I hope his memories help ease what must be a terrible heartbreak over the loss of such a big part of your life.
These gentle souls that pass through our lives make life worth living. I just wish they stayed with us longer.
I know they do not live as long as we do. I guess that gives us the opportunity to love more. I had several dogs in my life, always two at a time. God bless these animals and their caretakers.
A beautiful sentiment. Gentle souls that pass through our lives. That's so beautiful. What a very special relationship they had with him. A cosmically blessed relationship. I wish I were so lucky. 😪 So sad.
Just makes me remember the pain of the beloved dogs I've had to say goodbye to over the years, and that grief that never leaves.
@@hannotn I hear ya.
@@marymorris8442 I cant even imagine loosing my dog, Your comment made my cry. Thanks...
I thought I was strong enough to handle this video, but I can’t make it through. He was such a sweet boy.
He was , I cried to , it's ok.
He loved and we loved him 🌹✌️🌹
♥️. Sure was🥲✌🏻🖖🏻🙏🏻
I can't even deal with the dang video title! 😢
Yes
Bonds like theirs are hard to believe. Bears are part human. RIP bud
So keenly aware of his massive size when interacting with you! What a truly magnificent creature. God's speed Jimbo!🐻💙🙏😇
Exactly. That bear knew he could eat theirs heads off in a split second but he didn't. That bear had compassion in him. That is crazy
That just shows when you raise an animal with love they're not going to attack you, example my nephew had a pitbull and he was not one to attack anyone except to protect the instinct to protect the family but we didn't let her do all that pitbull fighting, cruel the teacher animal the fight like that.
She lived and she was 15 years old
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes a truly Gentle Giant
Stan Speight I could not stop sobbing he was soooo beautiful .
A gentle giant with jim. With us we would be a light snack.
Me too 😢💝
He was a Blessed Creature! God Bless Y'all for giving him a Good & Living Home!❣️💪👆
Nothing as sad as a loved ones final breath !!
He gave a lot of love and received a lot in return. A blessed life to be sure. Rest in peace big guy!
Well said!
Omg. What a wonderful gift, having been part of this bears life. RIP

I just lost my dad this year. This one made me so sad. I'm so sorry you lost such a kind soul. Wrapped in the body of a gentle giant.
Hope you are doing better mate!!!
So glad Jimbo received so much love, trust and care in his life from these exceptional people. What a unique bond they had. Sorry they have lost their very special precious friend.RIP Jimbo.🐻💙
What an impressive animal, he obviously had a sense of his own strength and didn’t misuse it with the folks he cared about. Cheers
Well Said, is raised with love ❤️🐻💒
Yes indeed. Leo was a big grizzly and Jimbo just toyed with him
Jimbo's face says it all. A kind, grateful soul wrapped in power.
William Hagman Thanks!

@@probinson4383 so I can assume yours is not a soul-searching comment?
IMMENSE power.
@Mark Lanton I think kodiaks can weigh up to 1500 lbs.
Dang, he was the very embodiment of gentle giant. What a sweet, beautiful boy.
God love him!!! What a privilege to have a relationship and friendship with Jimbo. You are all so blessed! RIP big boy!❤️❤️❤️🐻
What remains is a lovely memory. Run free on the other side of the Rainbow, Dear Jimbo!
Yes. Psalm 36:6. God cares for them; make no mistake.
There’s a rainbow?

This gave me goosebumps and touched me to tears. It`s nice to know that he had a good life and was loved so much. Rest in peace big, gentle bear ❤️
He was a prisoner. It's just true.
