I'm 41 days clean today an really needed to see this, thank you for sharing. You really never know what someone is going through. Good people get hooked on dope everyday. Please try an help dont put them down I promise they dont want to live that way either. ****Just hit my year clean yesterday ! Didn’t know this existed until the day before the year mark. If that isn’t divine intervention I don’t know what it. Thank you all truly for the kind words I truly appreciate everyone of them. I am a better father and better man. I’m so glad I seen this life. Thanks again.
I love this dude. He Is one of the most REAL DUDES I have ever seen..Not a lot of people invite you into their private world. He is a real G. Real gangsters started out as a means to protect fam n friends. Real men don't corrupt their hood. They raise it up.
Man you are a beast. So many comics have a singular angle. “Be funny”. I love the depth you show here, bring us into your real pain and the tragedy you’ve experienced. Thank you man. Also May is mental health month, so even though you may not realize it, you sharing your story may inspire others to talk about what’s bothering them. Thank you man.
Probably his older brother, because he got caught in a BOLD FACE LIE, saying Gary was never there for his younger brother, what he says in the letter proves it!!
Men crying and feeling pain, loss, love, empathy is what will save us all in the end. Gary is a truly special man to share this with us. My sympathy, compassion and condolences to him and his family.
My sibling is on drugs. We cannot give them money. I wish they knew how it feels to have what they need but we know we cannot give it to them. On the outside we seem cold but they place us in an impossible position. My brother had a stroke 3 weeks ago and I just dropped him off at rehab 6 days ago. Im drained.
I know the feeling. I had gotten to the point of loathing a family member that was hooked on drugs. After an overdose attempt, i flat out told them that if they ever tried that attention seeking behavior again, that I would let them die. We were all tired of that behavior at that point. By the grace of God, after they were released from the hospital they went straight to rehab and has been sober since. I pray that your family member gets the help they need. And I pray that you get help for dealing with all of the damage that they caused you. Pray helps.
I can see how much love Gary had in his heart for his brother. This made me realize how much Ive been neglecting my older brother over the years I need to call him and connect again because you never know what could happen
Gary your brother loved you and appreciated everything you did for him. Tears are because you can still feel that love in his letter. Don't let anyone take thst from you. Its in your heart forever.💜
It's hard to see a family member in trouble you do what you can to help but try as much as you can they have to make them selves happy you cannot control their depression. Your Great brother.
Whew this tore me up!!! You could tell how broken up Gary is on this, thank you for sharing and being so transparent!!!! You are one of my top five favorite comedians and you are so genuine continue being blessed you and your family!
Its ok gary...crying cleanses the soul...alot of thoughts..longing...especially in these times. Reflection prepares you for the future. thank you for sharing this with the world. Continue to be greatest you.
So good. I was gushing the moment you started to read. Went through it myself with loved ones and it rips your heart out. Prayers to great men like you sir.
Don't mind your brother, he is jealous. Probably mad at himself, for not being there for Dallas, maybe mad at himself, because he went and ruined his life and needs a shining sun to block and bring darkness to. Keep doing what you do, because God Bless those who lives for him.
Had some of the same thoughts. The brothers reaction is more about his inadequacy. Based on another interview of Gary's I saw, I'm sure he would still help this brother if he needed it despite what he said about him.
I've got 3 brothers and couldn't imagine losing any of them. Gary, you're my favorite comic because you show your human side all the time. So sorry fir the loss of your brother! I can't imagine! You're awesome brother!! Keep up the great work!!
Mr. Owen, Keep your head up and know that our Heavenly Father has you. He has not brought you this far to leave you now. He will continue to give you the strength that you need to heal and help your heart deal. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Drugs have touched everyone in some kind of way. Know that you are loved and will always be loved!!!
im not even a religious guy, but its this type of kindness that makes me ENDLESSLY respect yall. Having so much faith is a beautiful thing, how do you do it?
@@vinny5638 Its respect and trust. Some of the things I have been through in my life could and does break most people. From being raped as a young child and abused by exhusband I had to know that my Heavenly Father wouldn't does this to me. However now that I am older my story has helped so many young and older women.
Gary you did something so many of us wish we could do to help a loved one who needs help. Take comfort in knowing that he knew how much you loved him because you cared enough to help. I'm so sorry for your loss. Be blessed.
I totally feel you on this.... I'm a recovering addict off meth heroin coke ...etc etc.... I'm lucky and I made through so far to almost 7 years clean... It actually hurt me watching you read that letter .. I cried with you... may God bless you and your family .. I'm so sorry for your loss
Congrats on being clean keep that momentum!!! I know COVID has been crazy and can be hard on ppl and their mental state and progression. Praying for you continued strength and momentum
I'm so sorry for your loss Gary... I was choking up myself. I could tell this was extremely hard for you to share but you did. You are helping others realize this is not an easy addiction to let go of but if they keep fighting the battle within to want they will win...very hard but it can be done. God bless you Gary & your family. You did everything you possibly could for your brother remember that and don't ever feel like you didn't. You have a beautiful heart.
This is my first time seeing this. Thank you Gary for sharing this moment. You didn't have to, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who can appreciate you allowing us to witness such a vulnerable moment. This shines light on how addiction affects so many people in different ways. I will pray that God can continue to give you the fortitude and solace that you need. Blessings.
I lost my brother to a heroin overdose when he was in his early 30s and i understand the pain Gary. Thanks for sharing with us. It helps us all but most importantly it helps you!
Gary Owen ! ! ! You got ppl HERE that watch you and we look up to you TOO And thank you sooo much for helping your brother that really means A lot !!! We Love you Gary !!!! 🧸🧸💟💟💟💟💟💟
You are brave for sharing that. You know he meant those words. Ive been clean for 7years but the most truthful i got with my family were those first letters💜💜💜💜💜 Your doing great by sharing his story
I only recently discovered you. You have been a joy to watch and laugh with. Today you made me cry. It is so hard living with someone with an addiction. You cling to any glimmer of hope to get through. Heart feels like it is being crushed 24/7. You were a great big brother.
I am crying with you Gary...I know it's hard to read that letter. We all Thank you for sharing and for being who you are. Gary, stay strong Our Brother.
You are a great man, and a greater brother. Dallas knows the love you have for him and it sounds like he had as much love for you. Thanks for sharing and stay funny!
Now that’s the brotherly love EVERYBODY should be blessed enough to have. I’m not sure why this made me cry, but you never know what someone has to deal with in their lives. My God. I have a newfound respect for Gary. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing. It takes a lot to be open and talk about your brother. I dealt with the same situation with my brother and he as well lost his battle with the addiction. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
I cried along with you... losing a sibling is super Hard and that pain never leaves you... you just learn to live with it being there. I lost my brother in 2008 and it still hurts like it was yesterday. Hope things get better for you (i know ur going through some stuff now too) keep your head up
This just goes to show that you are not just Gary owen the comic you are Gary Owen the human! We all have a story most hide it you are transparent when you feel the need!God bless you
You are by far my favorite comic Gary. Seeing this side of you is something I really respect. I love my brothers very much and would do everything I could just like you did. Also don't listen to negative people, you know where you stand and you don't gotta prove yourself to anyone.
I lost my brother two years ago. He was my little brother as well. I feel your pain brotha. You and your brother know the love between you 2 will be there forever ❤❤❤

Facts
You ain't never lied.
True af..i have family hate me because my personality...my fearlessness..so i always been angry n they hate me more..well what can i do..
I love this dude. He Is
one of the most REAL DUDES I have ever seen..Not a lot of people invite you into their private world. He is a real G. Real gangsters started out as a means to protect fam n friends. Real men don't corrupt their hood. They raise it up.
You ain't NEVA lyin💯 that's why it's best to love them from a distance 🤷♀️
Man you are a beast.
So many comics have a singular angle. “Be funny”.
I love the depth you show here, bring us into your real pain and the tragedy you’ve experienced. Thank you man.
Also May is mental health month, so even though you may not realize it, you sharing your story may inspire others to talk about what’s bothering them.
Thank you man.
alex 99% of comings come from a shit background that’s why they result to comedy.
Great point about the month of May!
@@mattshiznet robin williams said it best- comedy comes from a dark place. He was my idol, and he lost a fight to his darkest demons
That's why we love you
Bro, you are a good person. Sorry for your lost. You made a difference in someone's life, don't you ever forget that.
👍
"You don't give a heroin addict money"
True talk. Sad, awful, but true.
You also never trust a dope fiend. I'm sorry, man, I sympathize.
☺️👍
Definitely 1 of my favorite comedians because he keeps it real no matter if it’s funny or emotional he is always 1000. Respect ✊🏽
Exactly. Mine too
✌️
Cry tears are signs of strength! The more you cry the stronger you are!
Who ever gave this a thumbs down needs to be punched in tge face.
God bless you Gary

Right, like what could possibly be your reasoning to dislike this. It's a human sharing an experience
Probably his older brother, because he got caught in a BOLD FACE LIE, saying Gary was never there for his younger brother, what he says in the letter proves it!!
Thanks for sharing.. I know this will help families.
My aunt died of a drug overdose when I was eight. It always hurts.

Can't make it past the 5:30 mark. It hurts my heart to hear/see men cry. Blessings Gary. May your brother rest in peace.
Men crying and feeling pain, loss, love, empathy is what will save us all in the end. Gary is a truly special man to share this with us. My sympathy, compassion and condolences to him and his family.

Damn, i can't even imagine how much that hurts... My prayers are with you and yours....
I wish for you rest and succor you need now. May your path not overwhelm you.
