The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
#Graves #Cemeteries #Death
In 1984 when I was in high school, a boy in my school that was a few years younger than me died in a grain silo. We were in band together and we all went to the funeral. It was the first time I had ever seen a dead person and he was only like 13 years old. It still makes me sad to think of. 😢
Thats so sad. May his soul rest in peace.
My first dead body when I was 6 we where visiting my Grandmas grave she’s cremated and I freaked out and ran out thinking dead people were everywhere
That is really sad as well. So sorry. God bless his family.
@@stephanienoblet8503 My first dead body was when I was 3yrs old, & then 5yrs old. It was my great-uncle who died during heart surgery & the second was a 90yr old man that attends our church.
My first dead body that I saw was when I was 13 years old it was my father in 1970
This broke me. 😭😭my kid was working last summer, doing the same thing!! The same thing almost happened to him! Someone stopped him from digging any further!! Bless these kids. RIP 🙏
For the life of me I can't understand why that supervisor would basically send some kids in there on such a "high risk" job. We all knew they sent them in there because the other workers knew it was a terrible job and they didn't want to do it, so they just sent some kids in there. What an absolute tragedy and my deepest condolences to the families and parents.
Absolutely! Sent children in there to do a job that someone experienced should have done. Basically sent them to their death.
That's what I thought, too. How could the workers let the boys go in there to do that job, knowing how dangerous it was? None of those people must have had a conscience. I wonder if they sleep at night. I know I wouldn't.
He should have got prosecuted for some crime.
And not only sending them in to do the job, but not even making sure they were harnessed up or had any safety precautions..
Precisely why they did it. They were the cheapest to replace.
That's so tragic and sad. Wyatt died just less than a week from his 16th birthday a big milestone in a young person's life. May they rest in peace.
He would have been turning 15. 😢
I had to study and learn how to treat various severe farm equipment injuries for my profession. Grain bins included. There are gasses in there that can kill you as well. A man where I live fell into a bin awhile back and lost his life. This happens too frequently. Rest in peace young men. This hurt my heart. This is horribly heartbreaking they were just babies.😓
I just learned about silo gases in the last week. I had no idea. So terribly sad for these young boys and all others that have passed so tragically
Maybe we should all say a sincere prayer of thanks and protection to all of those that see to it we can stroll to the produce market or supermarket to buy our Corn Flakes and other nifty stuff we consume in mass quantities?
How ridiculous that they sent them in there. Just unthinkable
A horrible tragedy that could've been prevented!!! Thank you Ron for a wonderful tribute to these boys.
Sadly I think this kind of thing happens a lot. When my Dad was a young man he worked in a brewery; when the huge containers of alcohol were empty someone would have to climb in and check them for damage prior to cleaning. The cleaning involved pumping some kind of gas in (I apologise for not being specific, I was a child when my Dad told me about this). Now he never found out who, but while my Dad was in the tank someone turned on the gas without checking it was clear. My Dad knew that there was gas coming- could smell it/hear it. He realised he only had a short amount of time to climb out- which he just managed to do, scrambling up the ladder and gasping for breath. Sadly my Dad is no longer with us (was young when he passed) and I sometimes wonder if whatever was in that gas harmed him. I feel so sorry for the families of those boys, I am glad that the court judgement was in their favour, but I don't imagine for one moment that any amount of money will ever compensate for their unimaginable loss. Thanks again for your sensitivity when sharing these stories and keeping their memory alive.
I can't imagine how the parents dealt with this horrific situation. And the worst part that is it didn't have to happen! May these poor young men rest in peace.
This is such a sad and devastating end to these two boys, nearly all three of them. To find out this happened over and over to people all over the place, is truly awful. Such unnecessary loss of precious lives. 😢
My father got trapped in a grain silo here in Australia when he was a kid. He just went missing. The only thing that saved him was that they stopped the auger and they heard him yelling. An inspection door near the bottom of silo was opened and they dragged him
Out by his legs. A very close call.
Alex was born 6 months after my oldest who is now 32. Wyatt was born 3 years after my youngest daughter. They both died when my youngest daughter was graduating from High School. Who would have said that I would join the bereaved “club” these parents did as my youngest daughter passed away 3 years after these two young boys did. My heart and prayers goes to these parents. I’m sure they would given up this money in exchange to have their sons back. Every bereaved parent would do anything legally and with God’s approval to have their child back, I know I would!💛
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😪
My husband and I lost our only son, when he was four and a half years old, a neighbor accidentally ran him over near the end of our driveway. I sadly lost my husband this past July, he was fifty seven years old. I'm so happy he has that joyous reunion with our son!! I have two amazing daughters, who are also suffering the loss of their father. My sympathy for your loss, we will be reunited with those we've lost, it's just a matter of doing our best, to make it through our remaining years. 🙏
@@karenh2890
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, but also let’s send this message to all bereaved parents around the world, those who have lost their child recently or a little long ago. No matter when or how, the pain will follow us for as long as we live.
Karen H & For Love...so sorry 😔 for Ur lose..✨🌟💙💜🥀🕊️🐞🗻🌃
@@forlove5859
My goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss too. It doesn’t matter what age they are when they’re gone. They could be 60 and for us they’re still our baby. I go to bereavement group where every single parent has lost their child from stillbirth to murder. Now we add fentanyl poisoning. Any loss is devastating and our lives are a constant roller coaster. I’m also sorry you lost your husband at such an early age. I’m 63. My parents lost my youngest brother at 40, leaving a wife, daughter and son. My parents are now reunited with my brother and daughter. We will see them again. I asked my late daughter one day that if I ever passed away I wanted her to pick me up. I almost died in 2015, believe it or not, she was standing by her dad in the ER when I regained consciousness Again I looked back, she was gone. They listen to us and are always with us. Her message was, w/o words was, you asked me, I came, you’re okay. I know she will be back when it’s really my time. Many blessings to you and and your daughters, I know they can’t replace the void your son left behind, I know. But let’s be grateful for what we have while we await the day we’re all together as a complete family in Heaven.✨💛✨
My uncle owned a farm and he told me that a farm can be one of THE most dangerous places to work. I heard of a horrific incident where a farmer's son was caught up in his tractor's drive shaft. You can imagine the sight of finding him, I am sure. The numbers of fatalities due to the circumstances like those of these boys is mind-numbing. What the hell?? 🤬🤬
I was working on a potatoe harvester, first day on the job,16yrs old. There was a belt missing were the dirt comes out so I was told to use a crow bar to unblock the dirt. My sleeve was caught up on a spinning cog were the belt should of been. Within 10 seconds I was being strangled and hung by my jersey and just as it grabbed my long ponytail the tracker driver shut the tractor off. Saved my life.
@@melcornes6878 Thank God you are Okay!!! I hope you have done something with that second chance!!!
@@melcornes6878 Wow. I'll bet you took some time to get over being face to face with the Reaper! Not time for you to be "harvested" yet! 🕛⚰🪦💀😄
My husband's cousin was killed by being torn up by tractor with a plow on the back of it, and she was run over. Cause the person that drove the tractor didn't look back, and ran her over.
@@tiffanyholden8383 😢
There needs to be more safety measures! This is sad and so preventable!
I just started working in one of these and they do have safety it's just you have to use it it is sad
There are safety measures….You just need to use them.
This is heartbreaking. The company should be held responsible. So many lives taken when one would of been too many. RIP to all those who suffered this fate.
So deeply sorry for the families loss. Thank you Ron for telling their story.
God bless these 2 boys.
Those poor boys, I can't imagine how terrified they must have been. Such a needless tragedy, and I agree people from that company should be in jail! All the money in the world won't bring them back to their families who grieve their loss.💔 Thank you for telling this story and remembering these 2 young guys Ron. May they rest in peace 🙏
Even in alabama where I live this is still a thing. My volunteer fire department offered a silo rescue class recently. I wasn't able to make it but plan on making the next class
Many people don't have any idea just how dangerous agriculture work is..there are multiple things on a farm, ranch, grain silos, livestock facilities, etc. that can take your limbs or your life. God Bless a farmer/rancher. May they rest in peace.
This is not uncommon. Some firefighters in farming communities actually train on how to do rescues from grain bins. I have been touched personally by this when a close high school friend was killed this way in 1985. That’s exactly how they get them out, cutting huge holes in the sides of the bins to release the contents. As an adult, I Took care of a teenager who suffered the same fate that was transferred to the trauma center I worked at. He did not survive. A few years ago in Grant Park, Illinois, it happened again, but that time it was an adult.
What a sad tragedy Ron. I can,t even imagine how those poor boys felt being suffocated in all that corn. 😢 Those poor parents. May those poor boys R.I.P.
I do remember this tragic accident when it happened. It's sad that these boys had to loose there life this way. I do hope their souls are resting in peace.
Yes. I wonder why the employee giving those young men their work orders did not go to court.
My girlfriend fiancé died in the corn elevator in Oregon Wisconsin. I believe his accident made the law that belts had to be worn when you’re in the corn elevator. So I can imagine, it’s a horrible sight. RIP to these 2 boys🙏🙏
What a sad story and to think this still happens today, unbelievable.
So Sad! Prayers for their families!
RIP Wyatt and Alex. Sincere condolences to the families.
Such handsome boys, RIP, I worked for a grain company, for 30 years here in South Africa, and there are so many safety rules that must be followed when going into a silo, I can't believe the company let this happen! That is one horrific way to die! They were suppose to wear masks as well, the "dust" from the corn alone will kill you in a concealed space, thanks for the walk Ron. And rest in peace little baby Patric🙏
Hi from Oregon USA 🌺
@@stephaniecoggins733 Hi Stephanie🙋
Ron thank you very much for keeping the memories of these boys alive.
I used to work for Blue Seal, at a facility, just like that one.
There are so many safety protocols that need to be followed, in order to do that job safely.
I used to work at a feed mill, and it is an absolute MUST to have all safety equipment and precautions taken (including inspection of the devices beforehand) before entering grain bins. The hardening at the top caused by the clumping of the corn is called bridging.
Interesting
Yeah. Very interesting, I think as well, Toby. We out here in Consumerland know little to nothing about how stuff gets to our kitchens and cupboards. If we did, we would probably be even more grateful....if we are to begin with. Easy to take things for granted in our Modern Age.
This happened in Greeley, Colorado around 1980. It is devastating as the three boys were not supposed to be there. They were trespassing. One boy died. I can’t remember the names or the exact date. One good thing came from it. As I remember Colorado passed a law so workers have to wear safety harnesses when working on top of these silos. And they are fenced so no one can or shouldn’t get in to trespass. Our condolences to the boys families. You are correct…. No amount of money makes up for a loss of a loved one. . We love watching your videos.
How can anyone hire a 15 year old boy to do such a dangerous job? What was the manager thinking?
This was a sad story, can't imagine how frightened they were. That company should have been closed down. They are careless, people's lives dont matter to them all they think of is making money, Alex's gravestone is very beautiful. RIP boys. Thanks for the story Ron.
I am appalled by the jerks who were working there , knowing how dangerous these mills were. Allowing these young boys in that situation. What a bunch of bastards. Im glad the family member got money for their sons. The stupid business should have been closed down. God bless those sweet young men.
Those poor boys, this is so incredibly sad.
Thank you Ron for remembering the men and women who sacrifice so much keeping our country and world fed
I bet the one who survive will never forget what happened so sad
Yes I wonder what injuries he suffered and how his life ended up after this horrific event. He mentioned he got only 800K which is a tiny fraction so maybe his physical injuries were not disabling, but still no doubt he has PTSD and psychological damage
I remember as a kid being warned to NEVER EVER get in a grain Silo!! That this would happen and you die! Why would those young boys be sent to do a job like that, with no warning or training?? Sounds like they had never been warned about this happening by their families either… I never realized accidents like this still happen in Modern times! Everyone should know this, Silos still stand all over the place!! RIP to these two young men.
So tragic. So preventable. Those poor boys, and their families, too.
How disgusting that the grain company tried to appeal the families settlements!
These more recent ones, especially ones involving young people are so hard to watch. Thank you for honoring them. I lived in Iowa for many years and I knew of people who died this way too.
Such a heartbreaking tragedy. Sincere condolences for these families. Rest in peace.
So incredibly tragic. RIP beautiful boys.
Heart breaking.these were very handsome young men with their life cut short!
So wild when you do stuff so close to where I live. I remember this. Grew up in Stockton, IL. Moved to TN in 2014. Came back last year…for the kidsssss.
Something similar happened to a Virginia Mennonite family. The father was overcome with fumes I think,then his wife who went down to rescue him. She passed out. Then a daughter and a worker tried unsuccessfully to help. 5 people perished. This was in Dayton, Virginia. I think this might have made Readers Digest.
I sure love what you have decided to do. you don't just cover those that have been lost due to terrible crime although you cover those too you simply choose to cover stories of those that have been lost and maybe forgotten. what a beautiful tribute to life. you have a good heart sir. may God bless you.
I remember when this happened, and I'm in Florida. Just listening is heartbreaking as my 15 yr old. Grandson is named Wyatt and his sister is Alex.
My oldest son is named Wyatt.
How heartbreaking no amount of money can bring a loved one back 💔 may they both rest in peace.
Man, what a Heartbreaker of a story this is. RIP boys. 🙏
Ron thank you for sharing this terrible tragic story of these young men..... may they RIP.....prayers for them and their families
🙏💔💔 and bringing this awful situation to us all....
How sad it's to know that greed continues to take precious lives, specially young lives. I hope that horrible man may someday feel shame. No one deserves to experience the pain of losing a love one to a tragic and preventable death. Thank you Ron and I'll include them in my prayers tonight and you as well.🤗🙏❤
What a horrific way to have one's life end. I hope these days they insist on having safety equipment. Rest in Peace boys....... ✝ Thanks Ron!
I come from Kansas and Oklahoma. Farm /ranch accidents happened too many times to kids and adults. Corn and wheat can suck you in. Also, there’s been instances when grain elevators exploded and caught on fire causing injuries and fatalities. And usually it was the companies fault because safety precautions were not taken. This was a sad story.
A very sad story 😢 Unfortunately, those millions will not bring them back 😢 I hope their families use the money for helping others...😔
Thanks Ron for sharing this story with us!!! RIP boys...🙏🏻
What a heartwrenching story. Farming accidents are horrific the loss of young life and limb huge.
I remember when this happened, only 12 miles from where I live. Heartbreaking..... I pray these young boys are R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏 This should've never ever happened!
Thank you, Ron, such a horrific and totally avoidable tragedy! (WHERE was OSHA I wonder????).
God bless Wyatt and Alex. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I imagine OSHA contributed to them getting the $17 million suit against the grain company, by proving negligence in the workplace.
Being extremely claustrophobic, this is just horrendous to me! How terribly sad. I live in the Midwest and yes, farm accidents happen far too often.
My baby sister's husband died in a grain mill accident.
Sorry to hear that. My Auntie was involved in a hay bailer elevator accident. It cut her throat. Thank God she is okay
So sorry this happened, may he Rest In Peace as well
@@anitaquick3756 blessings for your aunt. She was truly fortunate.
@@Laurie03 Thank you very much. My niece was barely 6 months old.
This is so tragic, it sounds like they weren’t given enough instructions to stay safe, it could have been avoided. I feel so bad for their families, it would be so devastating for them to lose their sons at such young ages, no amount of money could replace these precious boy’s lives 😢💔
That happened to a woman here, where I live. She fell into a grain silo.
Looks like another great Video Under the Stars tonight. Can't wait!!
I put my right hand over my heart in honor of the dead on these videos
Thanks Ron. I hear the authentic pain in your voice.
Thank you for remembering these young men and honoring their lives. What a terrible tragedy. I pray for the family and friends of these boys. ❤️🙏
What a horrific story 😱 those poor boys 😢 may they rest easy 🥰
RIP young men. 😢. Condolences to their families. Very horrific way to die
That's great news company should be accountable for
A Sorry State of Affairs of Corporate Greed,and Negligence Ron!Great Presentation As Well!God Bless,and Look After the Victims!
My deepest sympathy for the families
Very sad. You are correct, those responsible should be imprisoned.
The picture of that beautiful young man with his mother really touched me! How sad for him and his family to loose him this way!
My heart breaks, poor sweet boys. Thanks for keeping they're memory alive.
There is no way those boys should have been in those silos without being tether to keep them from sinking this was totally avoidable very serious safety violations and these boys paid with their lives I'm in tears now may they rest in peace
Brock developed a grain rescue simulator we’ve had the pleasure of practicing in a few times. They also developed a grain engulfment rescue tube that’s shockingly simple but has saved a lot of lives!
Do this for a living myself. Working for a farmer, it's an uneasy feeling crawling up into those bins. I've even been in a few sketchy situations, and yes that pressure is the hardest part of dealing with the bins. It can quickly overwhelm anyone, especially if they don't know what they are doing.
I had to get out of the live chat. This is really really so sad. Its really more than sad. These kids weren't trained !!! Makes me sick. I can't handle listening to things like this. This is to much for me. I'm really feeling sick.
I lived in a rural community for awhile. I have heard how common this. That this continues to happen to this day is awful. Imagining these young mens’ final moments tears me up. So awful. Thank you Ron for sharing this story with us.🙏
I'm amazed by the numbers you said Ron!!! God Bless the families!!!! Prayers!!!!
Great video. What a beautiful cemetery. It's very sad to see such young lives gone.
Such a tragedy, what was the supervisor thinking?! Was he called to account? Or the company? Doesn't bring them back, though, so sorry for the families.
Rest in peace young men, & everyone. My opinion: I echo your sentiments exactly. The company should no longer be in business. There needs to be a nation wide law that no new comers are aloud near the silos especially inside, only seasoned veterans of the company. I have heard of farmers, & seasoned workers, even though they had been wearing protective gear. Still they where pulled down to their deaths. In shell corn as well as wheat silos. Stay safe Sir & everyone.
To lose a child in this way is heartbreaking. A parent should never have to go through that. No amount of money would be worth the loss of any of my children 💔. So Sad for the families of those Boys.
Everyone needs to be trained it's a shame they lost their lives
Police and Fire personnel are said to have the most dangerous jobs. This story is a wake-up call. Others die everyday doing their jobs too. Danger lurks everywhere in the work world!
Can't wait! I'll surely be there for this. Hope all is well Ron! Look forward to the Sunday walk as well! I have work today but am out in time to catch it! 😎
I remember that story thanks so much for telling the truth
Thank you for telling these terrible stories and remembering the boys!
12:19 It's been fourteen years since I've been able to see my brother's grave. Although I have a different name online, that is my oldest brother. I miss him so much. It's hard to believe that I am now two years older than he was when he died. Thank you so much for telling his story. He was so goofy, kind, and the best older brother I could have asked for. I love and miss you, Alex. I pray that I will be able to visit your grave soon.
Just had 3 family members of an Amish family die of asphyxiation this way here in Central PA. Another one of their sons had died within the last year from getting caught up in a manure spreader I believe. quite the loss, four family members gone from farming accidents.
I wonder if the boss would have sent his own son or sons to do that job without safety precautions. Business as usual for this guy but these were someone's children. The almighty dollar....
Big companies care more about the money than the workers so when the company takes away someone you love you take from the companies what they love, their money.
Qué terrible manera de morir para éstos infortunados jóvenes, lo más triste es saber que éstos accidentes fatales son muy frecuentes. Triste en verdad. Saludos afectuosos.
I know grown men that have slipped and fell in. My youngest brother got caught in the tractor power takeoff at 4yrs. Plus are neighbor was brush hogging and the tractor tipped over on him and killed him. Sooo many dangerous accidents on farms!!
Linda from Missouri 👍🥰
So many burials, and you Ron immortalize them of what they did and who they were. So none go forgotten. Many times I see the burials and wonder who were they, what happened, especially if they passed young. What did they do? Never knowing who these kids or adults were. You tell their stories, whether it was devastating or whatnot. Bringing them to life if you will. For that I commend you on what you do in making sure that those stories you can tell, do not go forgotten.
Such a sad and preventing story of some beautiful young boys. Their lives to live …gone . Families sad and this story breaks my heart. R. I. P.🙏❤️
What a horrible and scary way to die. Those poor kids suffocated. The terror they must have went through. Very sad ending.
I grew up around an 80,000 bushel grain elevator on my grandfathers farm and we always knew to stay out unless proper supervision was nearby. There were ladders made of rebar in the bins, and also a rope with a pulley above the bins as well. Safety and observation is always your first priority over work, work is always secondary to life. I know of a similar incident that happened a few years back just outside of Genoa Illinois where this very same incident happened. I rode ATV's with one of the sons of the victim, a very awful situation. Always remember that safety is always the first job before beginning any job.
So very horrific and very sad this accident should have never happened
Have you ever covered the Lori and Chris Coble story? THAT, is an amazingly inspirational story that will give you chills.
I sure have, it’s WOW! Very inspiring
