    You made me cry. Thank God for the Donny's of this world and The Carpetbaggers. They both make this world a little better and give me a different view of humanity. Peace!

    Donny was very sensitive soul. many people who are 'different' are often the tenderest of heart and often treated poorly throughout life.I have always rooted for the underdog and always will

  • @jonathancrane13
    @jonathancrane13 8 лет назад +8

    Great story. Original characters who drift in and out of our lives fascinate me and should always be remembered. I have a few I hope never to forget. Here's to the Donnies of the world.

  • @chernyl26

  • @jwall6006
    @jwall6006 8 лет назад +13

    I love your stories. Being Donny's friend was a good and fun relationship. To not be included hurts so bad. I wonder if the people in the home next to the trailer know where Donny is. Maybe he'll see this and contact you. And if he's not still alive, I know he hears you, God wouldn't keep a tribute like that quiet.

    Your story made me sad, I felt the sadness in your voice as you were telling the story. You are correct about people like your old friend Donny, above all of their problems they tend to be more sincere people. I hope that you find out what happened to your old acquaintance, and that he is ok.

  • @barbaraoxford1560

  • @dennytoby
    @dennytoby 8 лет назад +6

    Beautiful, touching story. I think alot of us knew or have known someone like Donny. If there is no obit online from the area, then he possibly went to a care home or somewhere like it. I'd inquire around the town.Surely someone knows what happened to him. Very nice story Jacob..and I hope you told the SOB off who owned that restaurant. I have worked for many people like him. Many of the dead are better off dead.

  • @mlivermanify
    @mlivermanify 7 лет назад +2

    Jacob: Your story moved me. I had a lump in my throat whilst I listened to it. You did something that's difficult and frightening for so many of us to do: open your self to someone different: a great example of the kindness that opens the soul and opens us to others. Our penchant for self absorption and discomfort with those who are different condemns us to a hell of our own making. (Lest I come across as a moralizer I'm going to say unequivocally that I'm a 1st class offender in that regard.) My rambling digresses from the subject at hand. God bless and God save Donny and you, for you are His. Amen.

    That's an especially nice tribute to Donny. There are people that make fun of someone like Donny, those people are shallow, two-faced and hateful and when someone's else's back is turned, they'll talk sh!t about them too. Unfortunately, there are too many haters out-there and few people like yourself that take the time to show people honesty, kindness and respect.

  • @Karin6509
    @Karin6509 8 лет назад +3

    I stumbled upon some abandoned exploration videos a couple months ago and I'd never even thought about doing that before but it's SO fascinating to me - I'm hooked! Any who, through them I found your vids and I'm loving them! I wholeheartedly agree that people who are "characters" and are true to themselves are the most endearing, memorable and honest. What a boring world it would be if we were all carbon copies! Thank you for sharing!
