Gosh I’m so heart broken for you all. I know Barts relationship with his dad was so sad and complicated but his dad loved Taika and I’m so glad we got to see that.
My father wasn't in my life up until the last two years and got involved in my kids lives too then committed suicide 2 months ago and so many other things that have just been really hard happened but its a bizarre type of grief
I love how geo says she’s choked up and Bart immediately makes a joke to make her feel better and make her laugh to allow her some breathing time. Real love and real soulmates ❤
Wow I was in shock had to pause and come back like an hour later. Man Bart you are so resilient. I hope uve took/ or will take time to grieve Bart and feel your emotions. Don’t let them just bundle up. My prayers go out to you and geo. May god cover your family.
This was unexpected. I am so sorry for your loss Bart. Please take all the time you need to not only mourn but grieve. You may not think you need to do that but you do. No matter what I truly believe that your Dad knew that you cared for him and yes even loved him. Even tho your own relationship with your Dad was complicated you can take comfort from the fact that he ADORED Taika and I'm sure those feelings were given right back to his Grandfather. 🙏♥
Your father must have been in a tough state of mind. He probably did not want to burden anyone and felt like his time was over here on earth. May his soul be ever free and now he will serve his purpose as your family’s guardian Angel. I hope you find closure in this all… this truly was unexpected. There is so much pain in Barts face.
That’s what is so scary with many Asian parents. Their love language is sacrifice and service, as Bart mentioned with Papa Kwan’s tendency to over reach, Once their kids grow up, they often feel an emptiness in their role and purpose
@@hybui123 Literally what I was thinking, it seems he stayed just enough to be absolutely certain that his kids and their kids were set for their life (seeing how well off they were in the process of raising Taika right)
I’m sorry for your loss Bart. May you hold on to all the good memories you made with him, the ones made with your family and Taika. Praying for your family during this difficult time 🙏🏽
I am so shocked by the news of Bart’s dad. I remember earlier in the year him being in videos and staying with you guys in your old Vegas house. Condolences to the Kwan family.
I’m praying for y’all. I pray for Taikas health and you two as humans and parents. This is incredibly difficult to even hear and I cannot imagine this snowball. Much love y’all 😢
This is why I love you guys, Bart specifically. You guys share a lot of your personal life to us, and even the difficult parts. Thanks for sharing this with us, and being real (cause you didn’t have to) and sorry for your lost.
Very sad situation. Great coping skills and resilience on Bart’s part. Geo is so supportive and a healthy loving partner. Thank you for sharing your life experiences and making it a teaching moment too.
Just finished watching the video. I have no words to describe the emotions, condolences to you and your family Bart. You and Geo are a strong couple, you guys will get through this!
I’m truly sorry for all the things you guys have been through and I want to thank you for being open, honest and vulnerable. This video has been up for a year, but I just wanted to say, with true pain comes true peace and with true pain comes true love. I hope you guys are stronger than ever, wiser and better. I’ve seen you guys grow and bloom as a couple and it’s been truly inspiring for someone who hasn’t had the luxury to witness this kind of rawness, love and teamwork. With that being said, thank you for opening my eyes to a lot of things that my parents should’ve done, but wasn’t able to
I listened to your podcast while I was driving yesterday. It's been over a day now, I am still processing what happened, despite not knowing your father at all. This just reminds me that I really have to put more effort into spending time with close family and friends. Sorry for your lost Bart and family. Give yourself time to rest, and Stay close with your family and loved ones!
I'm so sorry for your loss Bart- There are so many things in the world that we can never understand. However, this also shall pass.. nevertheless, of all the hard things that happened, you guys have each other. I hope you guys can get some individual therapists and family therapists to work on your trauma and processing grief etc. Sending your family healing vibes on your way.
Despite everything you’ve gone through you still felt the need to share this with us. I hope you’ll give yourselves time to grieve because we’ll be with you guys through and through. We love your family so much and I’m so heart broken for your loss and I know it’ll have a huge impact for Taika who is so so close to his grandpa. Sending you guys prayers 🙏🏽❤️
I haven't kept up with you guys in a long time and it breaks my heart to see you guys go through such a rough patch. I cannot imagine. Hoping for clearer skies for you soon.
Bart im so so sorry for your loss my heart literally dropped wen I heard please take time to really process and grief you guys are so strong and resilient And my bf has seizures and it did change him but what really helped was looking into cbd oils it seriously helped him a lot
I noticed you guys hadn't uploaded regularly for a skint and was wondering what happened and this is the least of what I expected. Sorry for your loss and all the difficult situations you're currently facing and if you guys need anymore time off the JK/Bart and Geo family understands and we support you!
Guyyyyys I’m sobbing right now. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I can totally totally relate! It has been ROUGH and I felt it when Geo “we could do with a break right now” 🥺💔 sending you love, healing & a very good break ❤️
Sorry for your lost Bart. You two are wise and intelligent, take a step back and look at how far you have come. You guys are remodels to me and my little family. Keep your heads up.
Even though we have never met, I feel like I know bart and geo because they are so real and share so much with us fan's. Sending prayers and love to your whole family!
Bart, Geo I'm so sorry to hear what has transpired. Your dad may have been real depressed with what was goimg on. He was hiding a lot of what he was going thru. And I think when he moved back in with his ex wife that he saw she had long moved on from their relationship and he felt he had no one left in his life. Either way he should have come talk to you or someone. Prayers go to you and your family. Be safe, love you guys.
So emotional and heavy. Thank you so much for sharing. We suffered a sudden loss in our family too and our only child is on the spectrum, So, I completely feel for you both. Please stay strong and keep on fighting for your family and Taika.
you've been inspirational Bart from the first day I started following your journey on UA-cam in 2011. Your resilience, charasima, stoicism and everything else you stand for as a son, father, and husband is what this world could use more of. My deepest condolences to your family.
Breaks my heart to see you go through this bart, you are a inspiration and a bright light to a lot of people, I’m so happy you do these podcasts and really show the world who you are, for that you are very brave and we as Asians are very proud of you for what you’ve done and who you are, keep you head up player you are big for a lot of people suffering mental health, truly appreciate who you are and what you’ve given us as audience and viewers, my prayers are for you and your family stay up and stay true to who u are 🙏🏼
This just completely broke my heart. I am so sorry for your loss, Bart. Its so hard to understand why something like this happens. Geo, you know what's best for your boy so trust your intuition - theres no one who knows him better than you. Inspired by you both... you will get through this ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m a counselor and deal with a lot of behavioral health and I know very well the stigma around mental health and I want to thank you for speaking up about it and shedding light on this issue. You don’t know how many lives you could be saving by using your platform to speak up about this issue.
Sending you and your family so much love. I know everyone has their own issues, but the way you handle how life’s obstacles are thrown at you is so commendable and you are both so inspiring.
I'm so sorry to hear what has happened. May Grandpa Kwan rest in peace. I know things have been rough and it doesn't seem like you guys have had time to sit down and process everything, so please take the time to do so, so you brain/heart can take a break. With so much stuff going on, you guys are still handling like champs and getting shit done. This is why both of you are huge inspirations to me. Sending lots of love your way. And wishing Taika a speedy recovery.
I don’t usually comment but dang you guys have been going through some serious shit. Prayers for things to start looking up especially regarding taika’s health but also dealing with the loss of Bart’s dad. That’s so tough. Thank God there’s always a rainbow after a rainstorm
I'm a lurker but I have been through the same situation with a close family member. It's important to give yourself grace, allow yourself to feel all your feelings. Guilt (of all kinds) will be the hardest but there is only so much one can do when someone has already decided their end.
Sorry for your having dealt with a same situation. One of my cousins lost her first husband from his taking his own life. She didn't find out till afterwards from some of her husband's friends that he had tried numerous times prior to them having even met. Supposedly his family who lived out of the country didn't even know what he had been struggling thru because he had kept it from them till it was too late.
Geo is right. Everyone gets their turn going through hell.. I’m sorry for everything you’re going through. You guys are strong and you’ll get through this together ♥️
I'm so sorry for yalls loss and struggle. This is truly heartbreaking. Thanks for letting us in on what's going on. Yall are very inspirational in so many ways.
Crying with you all and praying for your family! I still vividly remember all the endearing Vegas vlog moments of your dad. Thank you for reminding us through your sharing what matters the most at the end of the day. ❤
Bart is truly an inspiration, even through all this adversity he still manages to keep a logical and calm approach. I would have lost it at the irresponsible finance people. When it rains, it fucking pours man, wishing you guys nothing but the best.
This is truly heartbreaking. 🥺😭💔 The moment Bart announced the passing of his father, I immediately had to pause the video for a bit to reflect what just happened. I’ve been a follower of your family’s vlogs and journey for the past couple of years because your wholesome content has brought so much joy to my life during the days when I feel down. I am truly sorry for your loss. I just want to express my sincere condolences to your family during this difficult time. When I lost my dad almost two years ago, I also learned that a lot of crazy, rough things were simultaneously happening at the same time. It’s crazy how one traumatic event can trigger all these other events in one’s personal life. I also learned that when we say the word ‘commit’, it makes it seem like the person ‘commits a crime’ and it gives a negative connotation. Hence, it is better to say ‘died by suicide’. Words matter. By changing the way we speak, we remove the blame from the person who has lost their life. I wish your family much love and light during this dark time. I know for a fact that this dark time shall pass. Please allow lots of time, rest, and healing to fully process your grief and take precious care of your mental health in a healthy way. Again, my heart goes out to you and your family. Your family is so strong! 💪🏼 May your father rest peacefully on the other side. Thank you so much for being so honest and real for all these years. I appreciate it! ❤❤❤
I'm crying too now! Bart, my deepest condolences regarding your dad. 🙏 May God provide you, your family & your mom strength daily & praying Taika's health improves soon! ❤️
I lost my paps to suicide in 2019, 2 days before his 46th bday, no notes nothing. Sending love and patience ❤️ your way. You've been a big brother figure since 2013 I'm 26 now. Much love
The vulnerability in this recording is refreshing. Me and my family have been struggling too...my little one is going through it, and no doctor has any answers. It is literally DRAINING AND EXHAUSTING on all of us. But we will keep pushing forward, because things can and will get better
Geez. I'm so sorry to hear this Bart. My sincere condolences to you and your family. While your relationship with you father was complicated, as it can commonly be, I think we all have that to an extent, but it was bittersweet because you were trying to make things work with him. You were taking care of him. That's the most you can do for your parents even though your relationship with him is complicated. Thinking back, I feel that his "cry for help" was him wanting to get back with your mother and wanting to live together with her. The fact that he committed that act in her home says that. On another part of the spectrum, depression at that age is common and it isn't really talked about because we all (or at least a lot of us) hit that age. We all want to pass away with dignity and I think that's what is meant when people talk about living the later part of your life with dignity. When we are young, we feel like we are invincible and that we have all the time in the world. There comes a time in life when we start feeling like we have less time than more. As we grow older, that feeling must feel like an imminent ticking time bomb. Like that day of reckoning that none of us can avoid. It must have been overwhelming for your father. Bart, the amount you are/were dealing with in regards to family,/business/economy and everything else that life throws at you, is inspiring in how you handle it with professionalism and like a true Man. It's refreshing to see how you and Geo are working through everything as a team and not like the dysfunctional shit out there that can easily take root in those trying times. I hope your mother finds peace somehow in all of this and can move on in her own life.
My condolences to the Kwans. I've lost my mother to cancer 6 years ago right after Christmas day. And have 2 friends mothers pass that also pass from cancer. Made my feels come back. But wishing y'all the best of health and fortune from here on
What a shift in the mood of my night, it was all funny stories until now. Bart you are so strong and I am so sorry for your loss. You along with Geo and the rest of your entire family are in my prayers. ❤
Bart I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. The relationship that you were building with your dad was beautiful. I pray for you and your cunie family to have strength at this time. 🥺😢🙏🏼
Sorry for ur loss. Family is important, you’re the only voice ur kid has - have his back at school and do what you think is best with the advice you get. Best wishes
So sorry for your loss. I'm devasted and sadded and in disbelief. This is very telling of the silent suffering that especially men go through. Society has no emapthy for men's problems. They don't need to ask for help, we have to give it to them. It's obvious when someone is socially withdrawn or depressed etc., stop the victim blaming and saying "why didn't you ask for help?". And we need to work on being kinder to those, even if they weren't to us. Again, so sorry for your loss. I will pray that he is in a better place now.
Oh man. I am so sorry for your families loss. I have been watching you guys and jk for years now. It hurts to hear about all the things you guys have been going through. Please take time to grieve and reflect positively on things. Try not to wonder about what ifs, think about the wonderful memories your family made together. You guys have been dealing with so much stress. Between the loan, your sons health and now the passing of Mr. Kwan. The way you guys deal with things so gracefully and with strength is inspiring. You hold a special place in strangers hearts, people you don’t even know. I will be wishing peace and love to your family in the coming months. Please take the time you need to recover. The people who really care will understand.
Good call on stopping the anti seizure meds. In my experience they all made me angry, irritable etc. Especially for Taikas young age he's unaware the meds are changing his behaviour and harder for him to express he's uncomfortable. Maybe start practicing meditation with him to naturally calm down the abnormal signals in the brain etc
i haven't been able to keep up with the Kwans but wow Geo and Bart, you two are so strong and so resilient. My deepest condolences about your father's passing. I hope that you'll soon be able to take a breath and really focus on Taika's health. I just know Mia has been lifting yalls spirits because dogs are amazing like that.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bart's dad. But man yall are so resilient with ALL that you guys are dealing with. I hope you guys continue to have this strength but also take time for yourselves when needed. Sending love and comfort your ways. Hoping the best for Taika as well.
Life has been crazy for me starting April when my son had his first seizure out in public, it was so traumatizing and so scary. Then he had another one in june, it has affected my mental health so badly because it hurts me so bad to see my son like that. All I can do is pray and be positive that one day this chapter can be permanently closed
Jeez.. i was not expecting the video to be about this. I’m so sorry for your loss Bart, i cannot imagine how it must have felt amidst everything that already was happening at that time. I hope you, Geo, Taika, your mom and just everyone around is doing okay. You guys always are so full of energy and really positive all the time, and i just hope everyone is able to deal with all of this. No one should go through this, especially you guys 💔
My sister was suicidal and has come close thank god never died and those were my feelings at first and for a a long Perfectly normal and understandable to be angry sad and hurt all rolled into one like i so empathize the feel of like "why did you do this?" "How could you?" Amd that feeling must be very hard to go through Much love my heart really sank and hurt when i heard so sorry my heart goes out yall and the fam ❤️
Wow, I haven't really checked in on you both in quite a while, and this is devastating to hear. Really sorry to hear this. Thinking of you both as well as mama Kwan.
I’m sending y’all so much love I wish I could give y’all just hugs all around y’all have went through so much and I’m wishing everything works out for you both ❤
I am truly at a loss for words. My sincerest condolences to Bart, Geo, Taika, Bart's Mom and extended family members. From watching Bart's dad on his and Geo's vlogs and the things Bart have said about his Dad, I really don't think that what happened was premeditated. It sounds as though it could've been just a spur of the moment thing that happened. I hope that Bart and the rest of his family can find some semblance of peace and closure over this situation.
I began this video so excited to catch up. I wasn’t expecting the news nor the amount of hardship your family has experienced. My heart hurts for you, legitimately pains for your family’s loss. I know words don’t mean much, but you’re in my thoughts. Watching you grow has been a blessing & I will pray for better days for you all. R.I.P. Papa Kwan
Crazy, crazy, crazy... In middle school I've always admired your relationship and resilience. I always enjoyed watching your lives blossom and the advice you 2 have to give. Stay strong (as always) and please find time to relax and recollect. I hope 2023 (Year of the Rabbit 🐰 boiiiiiiii) is filled with quickness and ease!~♡ 💐🌻Rest in Paradise⚘️Grandpa Kwan 🌻💐
Bart, so sorry for your loss. 🙏 May Mr. Kwan rest peacefully. My deepest condolences to you & your family. Will be praying for you & your family! ♥️🕊️🕊️
Hey bart and geo long time fan here. Sorry for you loss man, it's a shame with all the love and happiness you guys spread that you guys are going through such tough times. Just know you have all the love and support from all your fans, family and friends! No one would blame you guys if you need time off to deal with things. You guys are the most strong people both in heart and mind so there is no doubt you'll overcome these tough times!
Gosh I’m so heart broken for you all. I know Barts relationship with his dad was so sad and complicated but his dad loved Taika and I’m so glad we got to see that.
Yes. Praying for comfort during this time. They are one strong family
My father wasn't in my life up until the last two years and got involved in my kids lives too then committed suicide 2 months ago and so many other things that have just been really hard happened but its a bizarre type of grief
Asian American mental health is something that still needs to be researched, supported, and advocated for. I am praying for you all.
Not only that but I think for older generations like Bart’s dad would not be willing to show his weaknesses in front of his family
They should try going to Korea and get tyga looked at, if they had enough money to do so ofc
@@leowu1644 are
I love how geo says she’s choked up and Bart immediately makes a joke to make her feel better and make her laugh to allow her some breathing time. Real love and real soulmates ❤
Lol😂 really
Burst out in tears when Geo started crying…I’m sorry for your loss guys
Mr Kwan is in a better place now
Wow I was in shock had to pause and come back like an hour later. Man Bart you are so resilient. I hope uve took/ or will take time to grieve Bart and feel your emotions. Don’t let them just bundle up. My prayers go out to you and geo. May god cover your family.

Right now, your boys need you. Be strong and never forget to take care of yourself. Go with your gut.

One more Mr. Kwan chuckle for the road. RIP.

When I lost my dad almost two years ago, I also learned that a lot of crazy, rough things were simultaneously happening at the same time. It’s crazy how one traumatic event can trigger all these other events in one’s personal life. I also learned that when we say the word ‘commit’, it makes it seem like the person ‘commits a crime’ and it gives a negative connotation. Hence, it is better to say ‘died by suicide’. Words matter. By changing the way we speak, we remove the blame from the person who has lost their life. I wish your family much love and light during this dark time. I know for a fact that this dark time shall pass. Please allow lots of time, rest, and healing to fully process your grief and take precious care of your mental health in a healthy way. Again, my heart goes out to you and your family. Your family is so strong! 💪🏼 May your father rest peacefully on the other side. Thank you so much for being so honest and real for all these years. I appreciate it! ❤❤❤
Please I hope it was the Jk video where Bart was taking about it. Then u will get it
I'm crying too now! Bart, my deepest condolences regarding your dad. 🙏 May God provide you, your family & your mom strength daily & praying Taika's health improves soon! ❤️
I lost my paps to suicide in 2019, 2 days before his 46th bday, no notes nothing. Sending love and patience ❤️ your way. You've been a big brother figure since 2013 I'm 26 now. Much love
Omg I’m so sorry for your loss I’m so heartbroken for you
My condolences Bart, Geo and family.
So sorry for your loss Bart. May your dad rest in paradise. Stay blessed Kwan family.🙏🏻😢🕊️
this was the best podcast in terms of storytelling and reality blending!!! my heart goes out to you and your family. May his soul rest in peace
The vulnerability in this recording is refreshing. Me and my family have been struggling too...my little one is going through it, and no doctor has any answers. It is literally DRAINING AND EXHAUSTING on all of us.
But we will keep pushing forward, because things can and will get better
Geez. I'm so sorry to hear this Bart. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
While your relationship with you father was complicated, as it can commonly be, I think we all have that to an extent, but it was bittersweet because you were trying to make things work with him. You were taking care of him. That's the most you can do for your parents even though your relationship with him is complicated.
Thinking back, I feel that his "cry for help" was him wanting to get back with your mother and wanting to live together with her. The fact that he committed that act in her home says that. On another part of the spectrum, depression at that age is common and it isn't really talked about because we all (or at least a lot of us) hit that age. We all want to pass away with dignity and I think that's what is meant when people talk about living the later part of your life with dignity.
When we are young, we feel like we are invincible and that we have all the time in the world. There comes a time in life when we start feeling like we have less time than more. As we grow older, that feeling must feel like an imminent ticking time bomb. Like that day of reckoning that none of us can avoid. It must have been overwhelming for your father.
Bart, the amount you are/were dealing with in regards to family,/business/economy and everything else that life throws at you, is inspiring in how you handle it with professionalism and like a true Man.
It's refreshing to see how you and Geo are working through everything as a team and not like the dysfunctional shit out there that can easily take root in those trying times.
I hope your mother finds peace somehow in all of this and can move on in her own life.
My condolences to the Kwans. I've lost my mother to cancer 6 years ago right after Christmas day. And have 2 friends mothers pass that also pass from cancer. Made my feels come back. But wishing y'all the best of health and fortune from here on
So sorry for your loss Bart. May he rest in peace. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Condolences to Bart and shout out to Geo for being a great partner!
What a shift in the mood of my night, it was all funny stories until now. Bart you are so strong and I am so sorry for your loss. You along with Geo and the rest of your entire family are in my prayers. ❤
Your Dad is proud of you Bart
No matter what
Bart I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. The relationship that you were building with your dad was beautiful. I pray for you and your cunie family to have strength at this time. 🥺😢🙏🏼
I’m so sorry for your loss Bart♥️ You and your family are in our prayers
So sorry for your loss. Please take your time to heal. That the best thing to do.
Sorry for ur loss. Family is important, you’re the only voice ur kid has - have his back at school and do what you think is best with the advice you get. Best wishes
So sorry for your loss. I'm devasted and sadded and in disbelief. This is very telling of the silent suffering that especially men go through. Society has no emapthy for men's problems. They don't need to ask for help, we have to give it to them. It's obvious when someone is socially withdrawn or depressed etc., stop the victim blaming and saying "why didn't you ask for help?". And we need to work on being kinder to those, even if they weren't to us. Again, so sorry for your loss. I will pray that he is in a better place now.
condolences. may papa kwan rest in peace.
Oh man. I am so sorry for your families loss. I have been watching you guys and jk for years now. It hurts to hear about all the things you guys have been going through. Please take time to grieve and reflect positively on things. Try not to wonder about what ifs, think about the wonderful memories your family made together.
You guys have been dealing with so much stress. Between the loan, your sons health and now the passing of Mr. Kwan. The way you guys deal with things so gracefully and with strength is inspiring. You hold a special place in strangers hearts, people you don’t even know. I will be wishing peace and love to your family in the coming months. Please take the time you need to recover. The people who really care will understand.
Good call on stopping the anti seizure meds. In my experience they all made me angry, irritable etc. Especially for Taikas young age he's unaware the meds are changing his behaviour and harder for him to express he's uncomfortable. Maybe start practicing meditation with him to naturally calm down the abnormal signals in the brain etc
i haven't been able to keep up with the Kwans but wow Geo and Bart, you two are so strong and so resilient. My deepest condolences about your father's passing. I hope that you'll soon be able to take a breath and really focus on Taika's health. I just know Mia has been lifting yalls spirits because dogs are amazing like that.
Damn it was funny hearing the stories of Barts dad on JKNews did not see this coming at all. Hopefully you guys get the break you need. Stay strong ❤️
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bart's dad. But man yall are so resilient with ALL that you guys are dealing with. I hope you guys continue to have this strength but also take time for yourselves when needed. Sending love and comfort your ways. Hoping the best for Taika as well.
Geo and Bart you got this! My condolences.
Thank you for sharing. RIP Papa Kwan.💛
Life has been crazy for me starting April when my son had his first seizure out in public, it was so traumatizing and so scary. Then he had another one in june, it has affected my mental health so badly because it hurts me so bad to see my son like that. All I can do is pray and be positive that one day this chapter can be permanently closed
My condolences to you and all of your family in my prayers.
Sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers. Stay strong. ❤
Sending a lots of prayers … as a parents is so hard to see your kid suffer.
I’m sorry for everything that’s is going on … start strong …
Jeez.. i was not expecting the video to be about this. I’m so sorry for your loss Bart, i cannot imagine how it must have felt amidst everything that already was happening at that time. I hope you, Geo, Taika, your mom and just everyone around is doing okay. You guys always are so full of energy and really positive all the time, and i just hope everyone is able to deal with all of this. No one should go through this, especially you guys 💔
Oh wow I was not expecting to cry. I feel for you guys. Stay strong and my condolences for your family.
My sister was suicidal and has come close thank god never died and those were my feelings at first and for a a long
Perfectly normal and understandable to be angry sad and hurt all rolled into one like i so empathize the feel of like "why did you do this?" "How could you?" Amd that feeling must be very hard to go through
Much love my heart really sank and hurt when i heard so sorry my heart goes out yall and the fam ❤️
Continue to stay strong beaw fam 🧡 My deepest condolences. May grandpa Rest In Peace.
Bart - you're a great guy, always helping people, loyal. Family oriented, I really look up to you, stay strong.

So heartbreaking I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending my condolences. Praying for you guys ❤
Guys my heart is going out to you guys. I hope things get better. I know ya'll said rough, but this is more then that. 😰💔
Sorry to hear about your pops.
Wow, I haven't really checked in on you both in quite a while, and this is devastating to hear.
Really sorry to hear this. Thinking of you both as well as mama Kwan.
Very sorry for your lost Bart's. Geo's take care of yourself and family.
I’m sending y’all so much love I wish I could give y’all just hugs all around y’all have went through so much and I’m wishing everything works out for you both ❤
Sorry to hear that bart 😔. May he rest in paradise. Take the time you need to mourn your loss.
I am truly at a loss for words. My sincerest condolences to Bart, Geo, Taika, Bart's Mom and extended family members. From watching Bart's dad on his and Geo's vlogs and the things Bart have said about his Dad, I really don't think that what happened was premeditated. It sounds as though it could've been just a spur of the moment thing that happened. I hope that Bart and the rest of his family can find some semblance of peace and closure over this situation.
I began this video so excited to catch up. I wasn’t expecting the news nor the amount of hardship your family has experienced. My heart hurts for you, legitimately pains for your family’s loss. I know words don’t mean much, but you’re in my thoughts. Watching you grow has been a blessing & I will pray for better days for you all.
R.I.P. Papa Kwan
58:19 aww I love how bart tries to make geo feel better by saying something wild lol
Wild? She was showing massive cleavage this whole time kol
Crazy, crazy, crazy... In middle school I've always admired your relationship and resilience. I always enjoyed watching your lives blossom and the advice you 2 have to give.
Stay strong (as always) and please find time to relax and recollect. I hope 2023 (Year of the Rabbit 🐰 boiiiiiiii) is filled with quickness and ease!~♡
💐🌻Rest in Paradise⚘️Grandpa Kwan 🌻💐
