I have shared Shoestring's adventures here on You Tube for many years. His passing has moved me in ways I can't express in simple English. I will miss riding along with this sweet gentle man. No more pain or bad weather, just a smooth ride in your Cadilac Grainer. Rest now in Peace Hobo Shoestring.
His pain and discomfort are over. We all will sorely miss him but can take comfort he is now at peace riding the rails in heaven. May his memory be a blessing to all. RIP Shoestring ❤
Just found out the Hobo passed away. Sad, sad, sad. He was a very nice man and made very interesting and entertaining videos. This is very sad. He was younger than me so I am saddened to hear of him passing.
I just heard on the news that he has been found, sadly he is deceased, no cause yet. I know you are a good friend of his JT and I'm so sorry that you've lost a good friend and fellow train enthusiast. Blessings
So sad to hear that Shoestring has been found and the outcome was not what we had hoped for. RIP Shoestring. Your unassuming and humble approach to riding the rails kept us captivated for years. I'd like to think that Stobe the hobo has welcomed you with open arms and the two of you are sharing tales of your adventures around a campfire.
Omg I wasn't aware this happened. I can't believe it. I've been busy and not kept up with his videos. I'm so sad, I loved his videos and he was such a warm and caring person. I never met him but ill forever miss him
Good morning everyone.. Let's all keep Shoestring in our prayers. Those videoclips brought back a lot of memories. He should have been crowned king that year. There's not a rider out there who can claim anything close to the millions of rail miles he' traveled. Thanks Brian.. Have a great day!
Very well said. Praying that he is found safe & sound soon. And I couldn't agree more... Not to take anything away from the other hobos but yeah, he should have been crowned Hobo King that year. Shoestring has traveled in 49 of the 50 States, riden on the Canadian rails, and even hopped trains in Mexico. 'Ol boy has seen parts of this world that few ever will.
I have watched Hobo Shoestring for at least 2 years I think. Prayers for Mark. Like everyone else, I wasn't expecting Hobo to go missing. Prayers for Hobo's family. Mark just struck me as a very honest man.
He has one of my favourite channels. I remember when he was in the hospital in 2017 when he injured his hand. He has come a long way since then and now has over 200K subs
Shoestring Mark Nicholas brought so much loving 🥰 memories to all that knew him. I never seen anybody that knew so much about the railroad as this man. He had the most interesting stories to listen to when he would share them with you. God please look over our brother he will be so sadly missed. Rest In Peace Shoestring. Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jawtooth, Im sorry for Hobo's passing. I can't tell you how much I enjoy escaping in your's and his videos.... EVERYONE of them. God Bless you and his Soul forever, Brother.
Man I hope they fine him safe and sound. I've never met him, but I've watched him for a long long time and feel I really know him. I'm praying for Mark a safe return home.
JT thanks for sharing your memories with Shoestring. I sure enjoy watching the train videos you made together. On hearing the sad news today, words can't express the sorrow that myself and other followers here in the UK feel. God bless you JT keep those trains rolling.
Great job with this video Jaw Tooth! Really shows the Hobo we all have come to love. I know how much love you had for him too and hope you can find some peace knowing he is in a peaceful place now! RIP Hobo Shoestring!✌️❤🇺🇸
@@JawTooth appreciate that my friend ❤️ I believe there should be like an event we could all get together once or something. Anyways thanks again cheers
Jawtooth Ive watched a lot of your videos as I did Hobo Shoestring. My favorite videos of all are when you and Shoestring accidentally ran into each other. Then when Shoestring says " but wait, there's more," will always be a classic.
I live about 45 minutes from Johnson City. We got notifications that Shoestring is missing. Everyone is keeping an eye out for him. We are expecting tornado weather tonite then freezing weather Thursday. Praying he is found safe. TY for your videos.
That's so scary! My son is watching the tornado in that area and I thought about all the poor people who don't have quick access to shelter. My prayers go to shoestring and to everybody in the area..😢
Shoestring is a legend! I hope he's ok and turns up soon. Praying that worst case he just had to get back to the hospital so fast that he didn't grab his wallet or phone and they're getting him fixed up.
Brian, this is a great collection of times you got to spend with Shoestring. Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Like everyone else, we pray for Shoestring’s safe return.
Hey Good looking out for the bro you guys, it sounds like he really had a badass bunch of friends looking out for him. I am really sorry for your loss, he was a really inspiring dude and I am glad I got to spend so many youtube hours just hopping trains with him. I also got to lose Jim Stobe. ShoeString? Thats a real blow. Much love to all who knew him. I am sure this community will figure out a way to keep his legacy alive. That young fella that lives next door? I think his name is Larry, Lets put him through College or Engineers School. I think Shoestring would like that. I keep bursting into tears. Mark was just such a positive guy and always had a fix for anything he encountered. One of the last Hobos of the old school. I'm sure there are others but he just lived his dreams and it really inspired me to live mine. Ain't UA-cam weird? I feel like I knew the guy and we never met. I'm pouring one or twenty down for you old Hoss.
Brian you and Mark are two guys I'd definitely like to sit down and chat or spot trains with. I've seen a lot of this country that I wouldn't have otherwise without watching both of your videos. I hope Shoestring is found safe. Thanks for what you do everyday filming for us and for helping spread the word about Shoestring.
Jawtooth, This was your greatest video ever. I didn’t realize you were as close to Shoestring as you were. I’ve seen only a few of your videos with SS. I’m so so happy you had a relationship with him. I will ALWAYS have hope, but will struggle with optimism. I often feared this day, should Shoestring’s luck have run out. He was a True Living Legend; may he still be. He HAS to have known that so many people loved him. Jawtooth, I’m about your age, maybe older…but I’m sitting here with tears running down my face…come home Shoe…come home Mark…you are missed and loved by thousands.
i was one of many on line friends of HOBO SHOESTRING now that he has been sadly found deceased RIP. i had sent him numerous packages of things camping gear electronics to help his rail rideing adventures easier. his shout out to me was friend james. like a lot of people that got to befriend the man i got to live out through him adventures i could not do myself. i am gratefull to have gotten to know him. GOD REST AND BLESS YOU MARK NICHOLS--HOBO SHOESTRING.
Thank you Jaw Tooth for the most inspiring video about hobo Shoestring. You have good video of him and more of the story about Mark with video commentary from that I've seen to date. Thank you for sharing with us your friendship and adventure that you had with him. WE WILL MISS MARK!
JT that was awesome man. It brought tears to my eyes thinking of hobo shoestring. I’ll run across his videos two or three years ago, and I have watched everyone of them since I’ve always said I’d like to sit around a hobo campfire at night with him and listen to some of his stories And I pray to God that they find that man and he’s OK but thank you again for doing that video of him that really means a lot to everybody and you be safe out there my friend
Known Shoestring for some years prayed for him during his cancer treatments as I am also a cancer survivor, and I'm praying now for his safe return. God be with you Shoestring.
I remember meeting you both at that Hobo Con in Britt a few Augusts ago, so I'm having a tough time right now; I really want to be there on Saturday but have prior commitments. Mark is one-of-a-kind and such a genuine guy; I'm using present tense bc it's hard for me to consider the alternative. I remember gave him a few pairs of new RailRoad socks with a couple $100 bills inside them. Deep prayers for Shoestring to turn up alive and prayers for the search team this weekend.
Thanks for sharing all this shoestring footage, I was watching for the video that you have where he's going past you riding a train, either in the last car or second to last. Thanks again for sharing all this footage Mr. JT.......And btw you're a legend as well!
As a long time fan I hope he turns up safe and well but if not at least he lived his life on HIS terms which not all of us can say ! He was a legend to a lot of people.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with Shoestring ❤ I found your videos because he shared your info. I’m so sad has disappeared, we’ve been watching him for a few years now. We’ve been praying for his safe return and hold much hope in our hearts. Sending my love and strength to all is family and friends who are searching for him. Thanks again for your post!
Prayers ongoing for Shoestring's safe, quick return. Thanks Jaw Tooth for putting this out. This is a big help. Please keep us posted if you get any news.
Thank you for the video, JT. That's concerning that hobo hasn't been heard from. You did your part to get the word out and I will definitely keep he and you in my prayers. We just need to keep asking God to do His will, and not ours.
Very nice job with this video. I love your reaction when you realized it was him. You were both fans of each other which was nice to see. Hope we find Shoestring.
Thank you Jaw Tooth for this. It really helped alleviate some of the pain that I am feeling regarding our beloved Shoestring. Good of you to put this montage together. Got me teary eyed. May he come back soon from wherever he is. I pray that Mark is okay.
Missing Shoestring, prayers he is safe and found soon. Love your videos Jaw Tooth! Thank You very much for this special one for our Friend Mark, "Hobo Shoestring". Peace.
I remember these videos with Hobo Shoestring in them, great videos. I hope he will be ok and found soon. I'm glad to see you and others are out looking for him.
Wow, I have been missing Shoestring videos for many months, wondering about his health. Keep spreading the work Jaw, you have a huge platform, and may God be watching over him!
Thanks for letting us know about Shoestring. I've been following him for a couple of years now and it seems we have seen less and less of him over the last 6 months or so. Prayers for his safe return.
Thanks Bryan for the memories of this legend who represnts so many lovers of trains like himself. I just wanna suggest since im sure a lot of train engineers also knew about Shoestring and his passion for the trains, so I'll be very pleased if the engineers can, fornthe shared interest of trains and the rails..IF THEY CAN HONK FOR SHOESTRING every time the pass, at a point of choosing from many, which Shoestring was frequently found at.
Man I sure hope that we get some good news about Shoestring soon-I know a lot of people are looking for him and Thanks for sharing this information with us 👍
RIP Hobo Shoestring 3/29/2024. Slipped on the steep rocky hill in back of his home into Boone Lake were he drowned. A fisherman fishing in back of his old home found him. His childhood friend Billy Ray EastTNrailfan will be posting a video message later on from his Mother and two sister Marry, and Jessica. He has also posted a tribute to him on his UA-cam channel.
Was that the official COD? I know JC PD wad investigating. My heart breaks 💔 the world lost a good one when he passed. My heart goes out to all of his friends & family as well as his youtube family
I've never met Mark until he went disappeared, he seems to be a nice guy with a good heart, andets hope that he can return to his loved one safe and sound.
It’s really amazing what you guys are doing to find Shoestring, thank you for helping find our friend. I wish I could get away from work to come help search.
Good times, great memories JT, shoestring’s a good soul, has a real passion for trains just like the rest of us, and makes railfaning fun. Still praying for his safe return. Take care JT.👍🏼🙏🏻🚂🚂
Hi Brian , I come across ( southernRailFan) youtube channel has latest information on his channel after I watched your video with Shoestring. Mark Nichols . Not sure last name spelling. update as of 2pm April 2,, today. He is in our prayers. He was in the emergency room complaining if sleep deprivation and hallucinations. Came back home but like you said his wallet ,pack ,and hat was left. Backdoor was unlocked..Thankyou Brian I didn't know about him missing till I saw your video. Praying for his well-being, God bless🙏✝️
I have shared Shoestring's adventures here on You Tube for many years. His passing has moved me in ways I can't express in simple English. I will miss riding along with this sweet gentle man. No more pain or bad weather, just a smooth ride in your Cadilac Grainer. Rest now in Peace Hobo Shoestring.
RIP Shoestring. Thanks for the memories.
Last night I heard a train pass by, with its whistle ringing, and thought of Hobo Shoestring. Rest easy Mark. 🙏🕊️🌺✝️🛐.
How did he die?
His pain and discomfort are over. We all will sorely miss him but can take comfort he is now at peace riding the rails in heaven. May his memory be a blessing to all. RIP Shoestring ❤

Just found out the Hobo passed away. Sad, sad, sad. He was a very nice man and made very interesting and entertaining videos. This is very sad. He was younger than me so I am saddened to hear of him passing.

Thanks Jaw Tooth for giving Hobo Shoestring 1 hell of a tribute !
God Bless him !
I have watched Hobo Shoestring for at least 2 years I think. Prayers for Mark. Like everyone else, I wasn't expecting Hobo to go missing. Prayers for Hobo's family. Mark just struck me as a very honest man.
I found him 2 years ago on Thanksgiving
He has one of my favourite channels. I remember when he was in the hospital in 2017 when he injured his hand. He has come a long way since then and now has over 200K subs
He will be missed for sure!
@@JawTooth I enjoyed Shoestrings videos felt like I was riding the trains with him
