I was one of those boomer’s who thought Johnny was so cute back in 1959, I was 10, just 3 yrs younger than himself. I didn’t know he was a good singer, it’s like seeing him young and then, old, like myself. Life went too fast for us boomer’s! RIP, sweet Johnny. ♥️🌹
Not only did we all lose part of our childhood, but I feel like I lost one of my brothers. Thank You Rob for what YOU do.
I loved Johnny he was an awesome actor and a boy that. Any mother would love to have as a son a great person!!!
This clip was very personal for the creators. If I see him in a movie or show in the future I'll remember what a good man he was. None of us get out alive.. we all pass.. but to live a "Full Life" is our goal and he seems to have reached it.
You will always be missed.
Thank you Johnny for all the great memories....rip
Another piece of my life has passed on ! Goodbye my dear Johnny Crawford. May God be kind to you as you were in real life. So many great memories live on !
Johnny was iconic to so may.....RIP buddy. God Bless.
He is gone but not forgotten, always enjoyable memories from a time when Westerns 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠Was the Best shows and movies Rip but never forgotten
I watch him every day he's on, it never gets old. He was a treasure.
I love watching The Rifleman. Such good memories. You are truly missed. Beautiful celebration of his life.
Such a profoundly gifted actor, in a series that went far beyond what any other show was doing at the time.
Still missing you. You will never be forgotten..🙏🙏😪❤
Thanks
He was a very talented and versatile performer but I will always remember him as Mark McCain with his Pa. He gave such realistic and loving performances. A part of American lore gone.
Johnny Crawford will forever be in the hearts of so many people. He was such a talented man and I'm so happy for him that he was able to have a very full life full of love and respect. He is missed but always in our hearts.
That he did
Never met but will always remember. Lovely celebration of Life. Bless all.
Thank you Rob for the wonderful tribute to Johnny Crawford's life. What a talented actor, singer and big band leader. He seems to have gotten the most out of life and he is missed.
Thanks for the memories.... he was a very soft-spoken man....
He was so cute on The Rifleman
Johnny Crawford is truly a life to be celebrated. I love The Rifleman TV series. Johnny was an adorable child & loveable man. God blessed him with so much talent. What a sweet soul. Love & miss Johnny. Great memories!
Yes, he was so talented. A good person...
Johnny Crawford was my first celebrity crush. I was born in 1956. I crushed on him in the rifleman. My gosh , I was such a tiny girl when it first ran . But I fell hard for him. Then next up was Ricky Nelson. RIP♥️
A very special celebration of life of JOhnny! So happy to see it. Thank you very much to the family and wife to offer this wonderful event to the public and fans. At 48 years old watching movies and tv series. Haven`t seen an actor as charismatic and emotional. He is the best child actor of all times, like Steve mentions! He always puts more attention to others than himself. He had all the qualities to be a top adult actor star and singer! If only he would have been more greedy and asking for favors! But that wasn`t Johnny Crawford... We could have seen more of him on tv and the movies. But happily he found purpose and joy in his orchestra Bravo Johnny! An amazing person, Super human to others, kind and so polite to everyone. He loved people so much.
He comes from a wonderful family is niece is so nice and sincere talking about him and everyone, including fans being so kind to him. He has a super smile , he is so beautifull . I am a father of one boy , love him so much hand hope to enjoy the rifleman soon with my son next to me..... Love you johnny and Charlotte and family
Thanks, Rafael. I know your son will enjoy THE RIFLEMAN together. My son, an only child, too, and I did.

M. Rob Word, thank you for answering to my comment. I did not know you were also a father of one child. You are a perfect example of a hard working and passionate person. I understand that you produce many tv series and very knowledgeable in the history of western films. Like to see your wonderful interviews on UA-cam. love the interview of you and Johnny at christmas time and the one with both Crawford brothers.
If ever in Montreal let me know.
I am so glad that this tribute to this beloved man who endeared himself to us from such an early age. We will miss him but those memories he left us with will always be with us. I am so glad that the horrible disease that robbed him of so many memories is no longer got a hold on him; he is free and whole and happy again. RIP Johnny Crawford and thanks for the memories you gave us. I know he was a close friend to you Rob Word and we appreciate all you do to preserve these movie legends, my condolences to you.
Thank you, Wayne.
@@AWordonWesterns you are more than welcome Rob. Please know that scores of us Western fans appreciate your great contribution and dedication to our childhood heroes. You are a good man.
What a wonderful celebration of Jonny's life. It seemed that he fit 5 life times into one.
His work will be loved & cherished for generations to come.
Thank you Jonny Crawford.
R.I.P. Johnny,thank you spending two days with me before I deploy to Iraq in the 2005. I will always cherish the time and photos of you Charlotte and me.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
What a nice tribute to a good man. He will be missed.
That was a wonderful program. Glad so many people paid homage to him. Mr. Crawford was the ultimate class act.
I loved all of his movies, especially The Rifleman Series, a great actor, and also a great singer. Rest in Peace Johnny you were loved!
Thank you for allowing the rest of us to know just a little about Johnny Crawford the man and not just the actor. The love is readily apparent and the sharing is especially meaningful. With time memories fade but the feelings still remain.
Amen
Look at all the love one man brought to so many people. He was triply blessed
He sure was, June. Thanks.
Grew up watching this guy, Johnny was Great.He will be missed for sure. RIP Johnny. 🐴
I waited till I could watch uninterrupted.
I echo what everyone else has said and can only add, thank you.
Happy trails Johnny!!
Thanks Rob 😊
so long johnny''
Great tribute to a great guy that sure had a lot of wonderful friends.
I loved the rifleman tv series I grew up with it. ps I to am old , I miss shows like this.. Thank you for the memorys frank from montana...
I love this kid. I will always remember him as a kid because of the Rifleman. My absolute favorite western. I have been thinking of him much in the past few months. I did not know that he had passed. Praise God for his wonderful presence with us.
A really amazing and wonderful tribute Rob. Johnny will always be remembered as a fine actor and singer as well as innumerable other talents. But as this tribute shows, his most enduring legacy will be that he was such a wonderful person. When all is said and done, that's the most important thing anyone can be. Thank you Rob.
I am late posting this but I grew up on Rifleman and loved the part johnny played. He was a Great Actor and will really be missed by all!
A treasured human, a keeper video. Thank you!
Very talented
Please keep everything on-line. It is so enjoyable to watch. I look at it everyday..Johnny was loved.and he loved everyone.
Great tribute to Johnny Crawford. A slice/ a piece of Americana gone.
Yet, the cycle of life - God's plan of creation - can not be denied for us all.
Well done Rob.
Wow, That was just wonderful. Thank You for putting this together. Here's to you Johnny, thanks for the memories.
Glad you enjoyed it
A warm tribute for a sweet soul with a passion for family and for life, a heart for music, a friend to all and loved by many. So sorry for your loss, Charlotte and grateful for your time together.
I love Charlotte and all of Johnny's family! I never realized that Johnny and Dan Haggerty and Darby knew each other. I met Dan when I worked at Grizzly Adams Bar-B-Q in Jonesboro, Ar. Back in 1992. We became friends and he would call me and we had some nice conversations. I was, am and will always be a Johnny Crawford Fan. Love his acting and singing and Charlotte ,Nance , Darby and Paul are my friends on Social media and I keep ALL his family in my prayers. God Bless you all and I love you!❤️
This was a very touching celebration. 🧡❤️💜💝
Such a loss, of a marvelous entertainer, musician, and actor. Met him on set of his last film, _Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws_ which was renamed to _The Marshall._ Filmed on Director Wayne Shipley's farm in WVA, where Wayne created a western town just for the film. Johnny did some trick roping for us and singing off screen during breaks. All my role models and heroes gathered in one place. Man what a time! 😆👍🙏👏
A huge loss
Such beautiful tributes to a beautiful soul. . . .
LOVED YOUR MUSIC JOHNNY,AND LOVED YOU. R.I.P. C.W. RESPECTFULY
I love Johnny Crawford. God be with his family.
R.I.P. Johnny…your greatly missed….my prayers go out to your loving caring brother and his beautiful wife…. And a very very Thank you to God and Johnny’s parents for giving the world such passionate and loving sons who have made a difference in so many life’s…THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH🌹🌹
Absolutely incredible Celebration of Life.. A+A+A+A+A+A+ and A+ 35:05 beautiful song...thanks Johnny
I keep looking at this. I cannot believe it. I am so sad.Such a nice celebration of Johnny's life. May God bless his family. I watched him on The Rifleman. He had a very interesting life. Rest In peace❤
Thanks for your nice thoughts, Barbara. He sure did have an interesting life, one that touched so many people over the years.
@@AWordonWesterns Thank you❤
What a beautiful tribute to Johnny. Speaking of Hugh Hefner, Playboy Enterprises produced Johnny's 1973 film "The Naked Ape", which I believe is coming to Blu Ray (I don't think it was over on tape or DVD). Back in 1973-74 Johnny made a film here in British Columbia titled "The Inbreaker", co-starring Christopher George. The film is one I have been trying to see for decades but seems to have fallen off the face of the planet. The people who produced and edited it used to own the movie theater I went to growing up!
Thanks, rob. I've never seen or heard of "The Inbreaker." Now I want to see it!
Rest in peace dear sweet Johnny. Thank you for great entertainment. 12 years younger than you but had a big crush on you.
RIP ... Johnny!
This was FABulous ~ thanks so much for sharing ~ RIP dear Johnny!
Very welcome, BG. He was exceptional.
This is such a wonderful film. I feel blessed by just being able to watch it! Johnny you were the heart and soul and light of many of our lives in that era!! Before the Beatles, before the Beach Boys, you inspired us with your acting, your cowboy skills, and your vast musical abilities....but most of all, your HEART!! You were kind, gentle, slow to anger, and down to earth. I pray for this company of your family, friends, and associates!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!!!
You are so welcome, Carol. Thanks.
Well-spoken. He is truly missed..😪🙏🙏❤
I remember watching the Rifleman as a kid. I guess you could say that Johnny was my first love. I use to daydream about being in a movie with him. Prayers goes out to all of his family
How can I get some of Johnny's cd's
The world lost a beautiful person.. Missed alot....🙏🙏🙏
It’s always nice to hear good things about someone who has passed. I still watch the Rifle Man an will continue too. This was someone that gave there all
An it shows. R.I.P. Johnny
This is a beautiful tribute to a great man, actor, entertainer, and family man. I really enjoyed watching the Rifleman growing up and still to this day I enjoy watching the reruns!❤
Thank you Rob for this precious memory video of our beloved Mr Johnny Crawford I watch the rifleman and still tear up and can't believe he's gone he was a very special man I would've loved to have been there with you guys in this wonderful celebration of this beautiful man's life I will forever miss this beautiful soul Johnny you are now up in heaven along with my sweetheart who passed two years ago and all the other cowboy heros thank you for giving all of us your time and movies and shows you are forever loved and missed
thank you, bessie
Forever in our hearts..🙏🙏🙏❤
Thanks for posting this. I so miss Johnny. It's a mercy that his suffering is over, but we will miss the warmth and brightness of his presence in our lives. Thank God for the sweetness of memories and the availability of seeing him on video. He was and is a treasure.
Just saw this! What a great life celebration of such a talented, yet humble man! Still watch and love the Rifleman reruns everyday! Rest in Peace Johnny!
A wonderful video. Thank you.. The Rifleman is one of my most favorite TV shows. It is encapsulated with the simple word "paw"... I do not think there is anything more Americana than "paw".... Crawford really was a great actor and it is surreal to watch his life pass from a child to senior in a one hour video. It really makes one ponder life and how quickly it passes. By all accounts the man lived a good and happy life. He indeed made a legacy and for that I think we are all better for it.
Well said! Thank you.
This song is so beautiful...
You have interviewed so many of the Greats. You have been truly Blessed.
Yes I have, Chris. I'm doing more as fast as I can. Thanks.
You will never be forgotten
Thank you, Rob for being part of planning this. Also, thank you for allowing Michael McGreevey to say a few words. He is a CLOSE second to my being my favorite actor and his words were touching!
My best friend just lost a dear friend of his, and watching this celebration has really helped us deal with it. God Bess you Johnny.
Really love Johnny. Still watch The Rifleman daily. Wouldn't miss it
I was the same age as Johnny when he was playing Mark.
i had such a big crush on him. If any one dared to talk to me when i was watching him was asked to leave the room.
I always wanted to meet him to tell him that. HaHa.. I just just adored him. I have his first album still. I didn't know he passed.
So sorry for his family.
Thanks, peg. Johnny sure brought lots of joy and happiness to many. Me, included.
A very nice tribute. I almost grew up with him
Me, too, Jim. Thanks.
He was such a super guy!!
Bobby Crawford looks fantastic.
What a.superb channel this is...fabulous tribute to johny crawford...rob i am lobbying for a knighthood for you here in the uk for your services to us old cowboy fans....sir rob word sounds real good..😀
Knighthood. You are too funny, Blue Nose. Thanks for the kind words.
I hope you can do make get Rob that Knighthood He deserves It!
I never knew about his love of the old music from the 20s & 30s. I truly believe I was supposed to be born back in that era. He conducted his own big band, that's awesome!
What a wonderful turnout for this sweet & gentle man!! Thank you, Rob, for having it here on your channel so we all can pay tribute to Johnny Crawford! ❤️
7:20 I feel obligated to point out at this time stamp ..... that is a REAL steer he is dogging here . NO disrespect to the modern cowboy but the animals used in this event today are considerably smaller/younger than the one used in this clip . RESPECT for that alone from a retired dairymen who chased a few of these critters around a pen more than I will admit but never sat on one myself . RIP and THANK YOU .
So beautiful...
Boomer here too, who loved watching The Rifleman as a kid, and still do every chance I get on MeTv ! That show is still one of the best, if not the best Western shows ever. Johnny Crawford was perfect as Lucas McCain's son. His acting was excellent, and his gentle nature shone through every episode. "Mark" was the friend so many fans wish they had growing up. I just found out that he had passed away 2 years ago and was greatly saddened. I told my older sisters and they expressed how much they loved Johnny on that show. Rest in Peace Johnny. Thank you! God Bless the Crawford family. You're all beautiful human beings.
Very nice, thanks Rob! I thought it would be hard to watch, and in some spots it was, but overall it was quite settling.
Thanks, Foxy. Just good memories.
WHY IN THE HELL DO WE HAVE TO GROW OLD? FOREVER YOUNG....👶🧒👍P.S.JOHNNY LOVED EVERYTHING YOU DID IN LIFE,HOPE TO SAY HELLO ON THE OTHER SIDE.BUDDY🙏
I miss you, Johnny Crawford! 💔 Rest in Peace! 😪🙏❤️✨
I wish I could have been there. I watch The Rifleman all of the time. He was an amazing child actor. Where is he laid to rest? It would be nice to take flowers from his fans.
Johnny was creamated.
He’s interned in Apple Valley CA. I just watched a UA-cam video on it.
Love Johnny Crawford on the rifleman love the tribute video he will be missed may he rest in peace
RIP JOHNNY My Momma & Daddy loved the RIffleman We grew up watching it It was One of My Mommas Favorite Shows We would Still watch it together as She got older Every Saturday & whenever it was on & I Still watch it now on MeTV
Too young to leave us. What a guy!
Wonderful. man!!! 💕 Mark.
I totally agree, Annie. Thanks.
He is The Best!!!!
I watched him on Rifleman in 70s everyday when I got home from school! & I watch it now everyday ( it just went off on MEtv) My fav is when he plays guitar & sings sweet love song to the girl out on porch!!! My favorite show ever & still in my 50s😍🤠💓
So sad to have lived such a full accomplished life to end with no remembrance of any of it. Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease!
It is, Paula. Very sad indeed.
Thank you Rob for your dedication to these yesteryear stars with your interviews and footage of their careers. Not many left. But we remember them all. Every time we see their shows or movies. Keep up the amazing work Rob. ❤
Thanks, Linda
Grew up with Johnny on TV his singing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for posting this. I'm 36, and I remember my dad finding a few VHS tapes of the rifleman at Shopko, a chain of stores in Wisconsin in the 90s. I loved the show ever since then. RIP johnny
You were my big brother on TV while growing up Johnny.
I love you!
Not a bad singer, too.
I was listening to songs yesterday, like I always do
I loved his voice and song selections. Thanks, J.
I pray Johnny was saved. What a precious person he seemed to be. I'd love to see him in heaven.
Hello from Canada. Touching initiative!
As a Boomer, I watched him abd he was such a cute little uy. Now I get to was reruns of Riflean and see him again and Laramie with Robert. I am 77 so grew up watching him and Anntt on the original Mouseketeer show and Rifleman. Very talented man and so glad I found this video.
Glad you found our channel, too, Jan. Johnny and his brother are guests on earlier episodes. Sure to miss him. I'm your age, too!
He was my age and I grew up loving him.
