R.I.P Uncle. I continue our Overton service in the Army til this day for you. Now I am the oldest Overton from our family in the Army, in your remembrance. I'm still smoking cigars and sippin my whiskey while petting my cat. No credit card debt... Rest in heaven.
you're an overton too? damn man
May God
bless you sir🙏
@@xiron8920 yezzir Cousin or Uncle 😂
@@yamoto1833 thank you. Bless you too.
God bless you and your uncle for your service
This man was practically immortal.
That explains why he's dead
Yo he is literally dead
fred fit yo yy
@@sethflix funny guy
@@sethflix that's a myth
He lived a long beautiful prosperous life. It's a blessing to make it to 112
The world is less without this great man in it, but Heaven welcomes him home.
All the dislikes are people that didn't give half of what he gave and never live half of what he went through but he somehow with the faith of God has bless so many the day God called him home I have so much respect for you rest in peace
How you assume person goes heaven or hell?
@@myfriendpedro9775 It's not assumption. People are judged by their works, and his were righteous. Even if he theoretically did something to get a sentence in Hell, Hell according to scripture is a place of punishment so people *can receive repentance* when the Lord redeems those in Hell who are worthy enough during the Second Resurrection. Those like King David, who's serving his sentence in Hell, but he'll be redeemed once he's fully paid the price for murder. Only those like Satan, his servants, and the truly unrepentant evil ones will be cast off into Oblivion once Hell is emptied.
When someone dies,, theydo not go STRAIGHT to Heaven nor Hell, they will rest until Jesus returns and rises all who are righteous in His eyes.
not what we think is righteous or whether we think that person lived a "good life"
@@sapphirerenae He'll wait in Paradise until then, which is heavenly.
I just visited his story when he was 109. I'm sad to see him go. R.I.P. Me Overton💔💔💔😢🥺🥺
Gail Jackson-Chapman sad? This man lived an extraordinary life, sad would not be a word I’d ever use when referring to this man. I’d use Wonderful, Blessed and Humble. As an Army Vet, I’m proud of his choice of military service.
Ben Vasilinda yes you’re right but, it’s still sad to hear.
Gail Jackson-Chapman more like sad for the world. He no doubt made the world a better place while he was here. No he can do Gods work.
me too so touching
The same
I just ran across this gentleman's story. I fell in love with him instantly. I'm happy he didn't have to see what is going on in our world today, the world he fought for the freedom of and sacrificed his own life for. What a beloved and respected man.
Rip Mr. Richard Overton. An AMAZING SOUL.
Oh when the Veteran die? Thanks for letting me know.
Agreed. World is a lessor place.
I think what made him lived so long was his actitud towards everything he did. God bless his soul.
and he credited God for everything. God honored him with long life
Am from Uganda, but I salute Mr everton may his soul rest in paradise
I’m gonna start smoking and drinking whiskey.
Have fun getting lung cancer
sue schroeder ahahahaha
sue schroeder I don’t mind getting lung cancer if I live to be 112 and looking 80 that’s some great fucking deal, I’ll live till like 2109
@@sueschroeder9280 what a thing to say..
get it down you dude enjoy yourself.
God needed his son back for help. He served his time in his 112 years what a legend we will never forget ❤️RIP Richard Overton
Infinite whiskies,Finest cigars...pecan ice cream...up there
How can this video have any dislikes at all??? Ludicrous, purely ludicrous!!!
@@karimanicolette1210 no they mad he gone u think too much big brain
@@Zyax3r nah haters hate cuz if they don’t hate they remember how unfortunate they are
Amen!☔💒💝🎁🌉🥁🗽🎆⚓✨💌
Probably because they're trying to be healthy yet some of them wouldn't make it to 100+ age
RIP Richard. we live our lives because of what you did for us.
He was a good man
At 112 he said, "I don't wanna die". Nobody is ever "ready" to die.
When did he say that
He loved his life
I wish i could do that too

WW2 Veteran? You bet I will stand and salute you for your bravery and service to your country. Well deserved. Mr. Overton, you had a real good run. Entertain them angels and dance with them too in GOD's kingdom. 2 thumbs up.
NOOOOO this so sad
R.I.P.🙏
Here from my school work
The cigars did eventually kill him. He died from pneumonia caused by smoking them.
not true, you don't inhale those things, a lot of people get pneumonia, some die some don't but older people are more likely to die from it
@@poundtrader1414 His doctor said that smoking contributed to his death.
Thus, smoking did kill him.
Hard to believe, especially since he has all his senses, no neurological issues that I could see, no shaking.... smokes, drinks whiskey once a day probably.... I think I'm gonna try that. His family was so lucky to have had him with them for so long.
Very wise man. rip 🥺
Rip Sir ..
godspeed Richard, godspeed.
Rest In Peace
