Born: 11 May 1906 Died: 27 December 2018 Battles/wars: World War II: South Pacific Theater Years of service: 1940-1945 Rank: Technician fifth grade Richard Arvin Overton died at the age of 112 years, 230 days. Rest in Peace sir. Salute!
their are no living people on earth anymore who are from anything lower than the 1900s the world of 1800s kids has been wiped from this earth for about a good two years now
I found his story on youtube, when he was 109, he did an interview with National Geographic. I'm happy to see he is still celebrating his life at 112. The greatest generation. Everyone should talk to their elders, I'm almost 53, and both my grandparents are gone, but I had some really good talks with them, before they left this earth. I remember every one of the stories they told me. What a blessing Mr. Overton's family has had, having him in their life.
Andrea W. Amen, you are so right!! My kids and I got to go visit him a few days ago and he was in good spirits! I am absolutely honored to get the opportunity to converse with one of our last oldest WW2 veterans and I teach my children to do the same!
Andrea W. Yesss I know right, it was really cool , I feel like I've know him my whole life. He just has that charisma that draws you in and really he is also very sharp I noticed lol .. his hearing is better than some half his age .. nevertheless when you meet him it feels like you are staring into the face of history!
This guy is immortal. Lived through cars becoming mainstream, both world wars, multiple other wars, television, refrigerators, segregation, 9/11, microwaves, the great depression, and many more. Still smokes 12 cigars a day, drinks whiskey, eats ice cream, and drives. He has more than paid his debts to society and should be honoured with a massive memorial when he passes away. If you can live that long and still be happy and content with your life, fuck what anybody else says. This generation could benefit from living the same way Mr. Overton did.
Thank you for your service Mr Overton. You have a wonderful and positive outlook on life...do what makes you happy and brings you joy. Thank you for your inspiration. May you continue to inspire others.
I'd love to sit down and have a cigar with this man, I love talking to WWII veterans, their stories are amazing. The war stories I've heard from talking to the few WWII veterans I've had the privilege of talking to, are unlike anything you'll ever read in a history book. I'll never forget talking to the grandfather of a guy I use to work for, his grandfather was a tail gunner in a dauntless dive bomber in the Pacific. The stories he had of being chased by Japanese zeros are indescribable. Sadly, he has since passed away.
Jonathan H wowwww, same here! That is amazing isn't it? I absolutely love those WW2 veterans and me and my family are going to go see Mr. Overton on Friday coming! You are so right their stories are amazing and I can't wait to hug this guy!
Kersu Gaming!! My husband had to work but the kids and I gpt to go and see him a few days ago. Although his home health workers kind of rushed us off because we didn't make an "appointment" , Mr Overton himself didn't seem to mind at all and he was Very nice to us!!! So we made the appointment to go back before i have my baby due in August.
Happy Birthday Mr Overton.. Wish My Grandfather was still alive.I miss my grandpa and I cry everytime I think of hin...wish you more good health and more power..GODSPEED AND GODBLESS keep it up sir..
RandomGuy Did you hear in the reports it's God that keeps his teeth white & in his mouth. God's not ready for him to leave yet. Mr. Overton still has a purpose here on Earth. We all do you just have to figure it out and stay purpose driven. Be blessed
God loves this man tremendously. He is truly blessed and will continue to be. Real men, and this man here is the realest of men, love cats and ain't ashamed of it. I loved the video of him with his cats.
I feel same the way about my 94 yr old grandma who also died this last Memorial Day she was not old enough to be in the service during WW II but had to endure tough life in Nazi Germany during WW II as a teenage German civilian.
I pray that if he's still alive and aware of his surrondings today that someone takes the time to video record his stories of life and his duties while in the service. What an amazing book and amazing movie could be achieved from his words. The things he can teach us if only we're willing to listen. God bless him and thank him and every veteran young and old for their service.
WOW! I love Mr. Overton. A shirt should definitely be made with my favorite quote from Mr. Overton in a prior video. The quote was "I may give out, but I never give up." I actually cried a lot hearing that and what an motivating take on life! What an amazing man! Thank you for your service also as an American Hero.
Happy belated b-day. At 112, I don't think some people could even make it to half his age drinking whiskey and smoking cigars like he does... He must be doing something right that we don't know about. Or, he just has the perfect genes. Either way, "I don't want to die" can't be the only reason why he's been around for so long! Lol
This is wat u call blessings&prosperity and he is truly bigger than life! Unbeleivable he aint in a care home wat a strong man he is? With all the cigars he smokes a day plus he eats almoat anything????ice ,cream coffee, he is still beating miles wat a gifted man he is
I would love to sit down with him and have some breakfast and talk about his past growing up through the years of the civil rights movement and the history of wars.
He was six years old when the Titanic sank
Malfattio crazy
Damn
Damn! 😭😭😭
He's older than the UK's founding. Christ, imagine that, being older than a country

I watched that interview when he was 109 too and then google him and came across this video too. What a great man.
Andrea W. I think that was an independent film that was put on National Geographic and yeah, that was how I knew of him, when I first saw the video.
Happy Birthday Mr. Overton

He seems more tired than he did in the documentary from 3 years ago. I hope I’m wrong. I hope this man lives to 120. Great American!

He deserves to live passed the world record
Ruben Scott Not quite world record is 117...
Hollis Queens not that either it was a man that was 150 years old
The BackStabbing Knight Key word "was".....I'm was speaking of ppl that are still alive...the oldest living person RIGHT NOW is 117...
The BackStabbing Knight no nigga stfu
He's only 10 years from the official oldest person in the world ever. 😮
wow !
for 112 years he is look very young
Nicht Kai stop being sarcastic for likes. Like I'm serious.
YoungchrisTheKing he do look younger den anybody at dat age he looks about 80
flip dibiase but he’s still tryna get likes
It's like that when people are really really old they stop psychically aging.
Well it isn't hard to look younger than 112 since there aren't many people to compare what 112 "should" look like lol.
Happy belated birthday Mr. Overton!
Happy Birthday Mr Overton..
Wish My Grandfather was still alive.I miss my grandpa and I cry everytime I think of hin...wish you more good health and more power..GODSPEED AND GODBLESS keep it up sir..
*Still talk, still walk, still drive, still smoke*
This guy is a legend.
If he's really 112 and smokes those cigars every day, how tf does he have such perfect teeth??
RandomGuy Dentures.
RandomGuy He said he doesnt inhale
RandomGuy Did you hear in the reports it's God that keeps his teeth white & in his mouth. God's not ready for him to leave yet. Mr. Overton still has a purpose here on Earth. We all do you just have to figure it out and stay purpose driven. Be blessed
Dillon Scott but the smoke still goes into his mouth and makes contact with his teeth.
RandomGuy apparently he must keep his teeth brushed and rinses his mouth cause he still has all his teeth in his mouth
Happy Birthday

He’s an OG American dawg
Reporter comments on his sense of humor after Overton says I don't want to die. Facepalm
Are you incapable of realising the was actually saying it in a joking manner?
Rest In Peace!
Rest In Peace hero
Rip man you’ll be missed😭 LOTS OF RESPECT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I feel same the way about my 94 yr old grandma who also died this last Memorial Day she was not old enough to be in the service during WW II but had to endure tough life in Nazi Germany during WW II as a teenage German civilian.
And being bombed in Berlin by American, British and Soviet forces during the 1940s.
I pray that if he's still alive and aware of his surrondings today that someone takes the time to video record his stories of life and his duties while in the service. What an amazing book and amazing movie could be achieved from his words. The things he can teach us if only we're willing to listen. God bless him and thank him and every veteran young and old for their service.
Congratulations 112 years old sir!
This dude is awesome!
Much respect sir!
May god bless Richard Overton. Hearing him makes me happy. I’m going to get my butter pecan ice cream Tomorrow.
WOW! I love Mr. Overton. A shirt should definitely be made with my favorite quote from Mr. Overton in a prior video. The quote was "I may give out, but I never give up." I actually cried a lot hearing that and what an motivating take on life!

So happy he’s doing well! 🙏🏻❤️
oh my goodness , videos of him bless me ! I wish I could meet and witness his amazingly beautiful spirit in-person
God Bless You Richard Overton.
Happy belated b-day.
At 112, I don't think some people could even make it to half his age drinking whiskey and smoking cigars like he does... He must be doing something right that we don't know about. Or, he just has the perfect genes. Either way, "I don't want to die" can't be the only reason why he's been around for so long! Lol
It’s nice to see that this man is healthy and is happy, wants to be alive for as long as he can, lots of people wouldn’t WANT to live that old.
112 years old ww2 vet. smokes a cigar, carries a revolver and drives a 50 year old truck... fucking badass ❤
