    When Vern was doing mail time in his UA-cam channel, I sent him a sword with his name engraved on it along with a poster. His signed the poster and sent it back to me. He was a cool dude for sure. Wish he was still around

      I remember that episode, I just commented, he would personally answer every single piece of fan mail he got, and would then respond if asked. Proof is in the pudding, cherish that sword.

    I'm disabled having had a stroke at the age of nine so while not all my dreams came true like acting I was able to get many autographs from famous people and I had recently got Verne address and was about to write him but he took his life shortly after.

  • @jonbon7219
    @jonbon7219 21 день тому +5

    I did subscribe to his UA-cam,
    and at one episode it showed all his fan mail he would receive. He would personally respond to every single 1, and sign/return anything he was sent as long as the sender included a return posted package.
    What a great celebrity, very very sad indeed.😢

      Hi, I just want to add that he is not buried with his family at least not yet if you look closely at the tombstone his siblings only have their birthdates or there not the death date so for right now they’re still alive but it is nice. He will not be alone once it is time for them to go.

    Thanks for sharing Vern’s story with us. I hadn’t ever heard too terribly much about his backstory, so this was all very interesting to me. I had to look it up out of curiosity… so the names on either side of his on his gravestone are his parents. Looks like they were both 24/25 when they had him. They were both born in ‘45.
    Rest in peace, Vern.💖

    Loved this ❤ I worked with Verne on the set of Moby's music video. He was very sweet natured and quiet. One of the extras was squealing in horror out loud at the sight of him (and in front of him) and I felt terrible for him. He must have encountered that a lot. I'm glad he was able to live a happy life within the entertainment industry. RIP.

    Verne's sad ending reminds me of Herve Villechaize, who also died by suicide at about the same age. We can't know
    the pain those two went through because of their physical challenges. RIP Verne

    Hey, thanks for doing one on Mr. Troyer. It was a bummer when he passed. Like some actors when they pass? You feel bad for the family? But there's some actor's male or female that when you hear about the passing? It hurts in your soul. Paul Reubens and Carl Weathers recently but Vern's passing hurt too.

    Verne Troyes was “very Special” to my daughter and I… When I knew he was coming to an Auto Show here.. I got tickets. Paul Le Mat , Veryne Troyer and Peter Dinklage were doing “meet and greets”! First Stop…Mini Me! I took my daughter and her friend… and they hit it off with Mr. Troyer. I took off to meet Paul La Mat and see his yellow car from American Graffiti. When I got back, all 3 were still talking. I told them “we need to go”… As we were walking away… I looked back and Mr.Troyer was standing on his chair “waving”… He had Hot Wheel Shoes on that day… We won’t forget “Mr. Troyer”. He was so sweet and kind to all of us. Big Loss to all of us.

Its really so awful that the alcohol did him in like it did. I wouldnt call it "suicide" even if it was self inflicted. It was likely accidental. I wish they would change that. Unless it was apparent it was intentional. I would hate to accidentally kill myself and it be logged as suicide. He really bring joy to so many. And it wasnt because of his stature. He was a quite mighty man. Bigger than life really. Im just in shock. 😪🌈💔
