As a person who survived colon cancer stage four after Drs at one time gave me 72 hours to live I appreciate everyday I wake up . Each day is a blessing .
I honestly thought I was the only person who goes to the cemetery to take time and read the names of the people who have passed. This is comforting to me ❤️
My adopted son was killed by an IED in Iraq in 2005 , he saved his partner tho and she went on to have three beautiful children. I know he gave his life without even a second thought because he was just so sweet and giving . Gavin you will forever missed .
Could not agree with you more Sherry. I have watch a lot of Lamont videos and it seems like for some reason that this cemetery has more young people buried in it than any other that I have seen. So sad. So many lives cut short and so many tears shed. God Bless all these young people and the families that have lost them.
I just lost a friend Saturday who made the mistake of drinking and riding an ATV and had an accident he didn’t survive. Please hug your families friends and love ones because we’re not promised tomorrow
So so sorry for you and his family's loss and yes you are so right no one is promised tomorrow so we must hug and tell our love ones how much we care about them
I'm a truck driver and I always see from 4 wheeler and 18 wheeler drivers texting and driving Facebook and whatever else and driving, whats so crazy I blew my horn she didn't flinch she just moved back in her lane and didn't put the phone down smh. I saw a lady reading a book while driving. I see some crazy stuff while driving my rig! Smh put the phones and stuff down pay attention!
Wish I had found your channel before you came through here. Preston was killed in Maryland not in Fredericksburg but he is buried here. I remember when Ryan McCall passed in Orange County and when deputy Mooney passed.. and seeing other people I knows graves again is sobering For me. Erin fines was a classmate and a friend of mine and a beautiful person. She died after a courageous fight with colon cancer. I have also lost so many of my former classmates and friends here in Fredericksburg due to heroin especially. It really reminds me I’m so lucky to still be here. Thanks for doing a video here ❤️
This story of Ryan crashing the plane on a solo really hits a nerve for me. On my very first solo back in 1971, I botched my first approach and implemented an aborted landing and go around. I ballooned way up and almost stalled the airplane which would have put me nose first on the asphalt runway. I proceeded all the way to the crosswind leg of the pattern before I realized I still had full flaps set. No wonder the plane wouldn't climb. I barely cleared some hills off the departure end of the runway and at the same time my instructor got on the radio in another airplane on the ground and started yelling at me. I have never been so afraid in my life. I made it okay and now have over 4500 flight hours in singles, twins and small jets. Poor Ryan. God Bless him. I came so close to the same outcome.
I love how you honor people in such a special way. I pray for all those murders that haven't been solved. Breaks my heart that these families have not gotten justice or peace. Thank you Lamont you are awesome.
I would like to say in regards to Preston's case, when you hear gun shots outside, don't look out the door or window to see what's going on. You already know what's going on... Somebody's shooting. Get down on the floor and crawl under something. A bullet doesn't have a name on it. I've heard of many cases like this.
A three-year-old child died a week and a half ago in my town in northern Illinois! He, with his family, WAS INSIDE HIS HOUSE! The bullets came right through the house side of the house. The child was in critical condition and then within the next day he died! It’s just terrible the gun violence in the United States! TERRIBLE!
Am I the only one that , starts getting kinda depressed if watch too much of these kinda videos. But I can't stop! Edit: careful , keep your mind a positive and happy place , your life depends on it.
@@MsChantae that is actually a good way of seeing things, a more positive, but not everyone is like that, or are going through a face , and watching more light stuff would be better, maybe is just me.... I have a fear of dying and here I am ...
@@Holyweed i feel you. and of course you're allowed to feel however. I'm 28 and I've seen so many of my friends die from the most random things: asthma, surgeries gone wrong, car accidents, murder, diseases, etc in their early 20's. some of the nicest, kindest people you'll ever meet and it makes me sad that they didn't have more time on this earth, but maybe they were just "too good" for this wicked place. But like I said, instead of getting depressed, which I have in the past, I'd rather try to make the most of the little time I have here and do good and be a better person. I was definitely obsessed with death and dying at one point and that was when I was depressed, now not so much. I think those two things sort of go hand in hand. I wanna see what life has in store for me and I'm hoping that it's guuuddd :D
I know what you mean, I love videos like this and “ Hollywood graveyard” but if I watch too many it can make me a little anxious. Whenever I start to feel that way, I take a break and watch something else ☺️ But I love the history and the beauty of these places. It’s addicting.
My daughter sent me this video after seeing BRIAN COLE WILLIAMS he is my 3yo son ..(video time 12:48)Brian died suddenly while outside playing on his powerwheel...the medical examiner would later find that he had a 1 in 1 million reaction to his vaccinations and he went into cardiac arrest (VFib) 💔
Bean UNmasked Your sweet little Angel may not be here in physical form but I bet he is ALWAYS with you in spiritual form, sending love & prayers for your loss. There is no pain greater than the loss of a child ! 💕👼🏻💕
Just the other day I was passing someone some because they were doing 40 in a 45 and then they flip me as I pass them, procceds to get behind me in the passing lane, follows me back over into the original lane I was in and then proceeds to tailgate me.
You should go to Fredericksburg National Cemetery. 15,000 dead from the battles around the town, 85 percent are unknowns because the remains were recovered from battlefields 2-4 years later.
This cemetery is right in the middle of the town, just eerie to go by. It’s interesting to see the buildings in Fredericksburg they still have cannons in them.
I agree, but if he did that, he wouldn't have all the freedom that he has now and would be under deadlines and schedules. He's doing fine just the way he is now.
Lamont, I just wanted to let you know that I discovered your channel last night (actually early a.m.) and I'm already hooked. You are a very compelling storyteller and I can tell you are also an empathetic soul. The way you describe the cases/victims/families is very genuine. I live in Knoxville, Tennessee and I wanted to personally THANK YOU for covering the Christian/Newsome murders. I went to college at the University of Tennessee and have lived in East Tennessee all my life. And I can tell you with the utmost confidence that this was the most horrific crime to occur in decades. I will NEVER UNDERSTAND how someone could do that to another human being. The answer has to be the perpetrators weren't human. They (including the female) are animals. And before I go any further, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN who was what RACE. It was portrayed as a Hate Crime by the prosecutor. No!! It was a crime against humanity. And for what?? Alot of people said that the couple shouldn't have been in that "part of town", WTF?! I've been in that part of town and most of the Knoxville area. Sometimes doing things I shouldn't have been....but that's another story. Anyway, did I deserve to be raped, murdered, mutilated and stuffed in a garbage can to slowly suffocate to death while my boyfriend was shot execution-style and set on fire..this case wasn't about race, it was about murder and the fact that humans are the most vicious predator on the planet. Thank you so much for ALL you do Lamont!! ❤❤❤
I see all these people looking at their phones while they are driving and its very dangerous. it only takes a second for things to change on the road. By the time they react it is too late.
None of us are promised tomorrow. Too many young ones leaving this earth too soon. Who knows what might have been. May they all be in heaven where it's so beautiful & peaceful that this life here couldn't begin to compare.
@@burntfaceman24 I'm 33 too but we're not kids I mean we're young adults far from kids though, I would say 80s babies are just entering the second phase of their life
Hell yea ....Watching this made me feel kind of lonely and left behind .....Sometimes when I'm out in public i wonder where's everyone but now after watching this maybe I'll come to the conclusion everyone's in a cemetary ..
Lamar that was sweet of you bringing notice to Preston's unsolved murder case. You never know who is watching. Its great you can be a0 voice to those who still need on.
Honest this happened to me . When I was about 12 years old . I was at an old church in the country that had a graveyard . I saw a headstone with a young good looking mans picture on it . I was sad and bowed my head and prayed that someday I would get to meet & help his family . About 2 years later I went with my new friend to a ladies house out in the country . I saw the guys picture on the desk and she told me how he died . Years later I moved into an apartment and met my apartment mangers mother and I found out she was kin to the dead man . I gave her a job to help her out in my business & she worked for me for years .
I used to live in Stafford for 11 years and just recently moved. I wish I had known you were going there I'd have asked you to stop at the Fort Lincoln Cemetary in Bladensburg MD before you went. My 10-year-old niece is buried there. She was killed in 1985 by a hit and run driver in front of the Bladensburg Elementary School in the crosswalk. There are many famous and interesting people buried there also. But Fredericksburg is an amazing historical town. All of our Doctors are there... if you do stay a few days you should drive over to Chancellorsville and visit the graves there. Its minutes away from where you are or were.
Death is the Great Mystery, they say. Watching your vids makes me appreciate my life more. My two brothers recently died of natural causes, and I often contemplate my own mortality. Your vids are of high quality, no shaking and high resolution. There are many famous graves in my area of Northern California and I will look into creating some videos of my own.
Mr. Lamont, I am So very Blessed to have lived and Learned for 59 Years! Your biographies cause me to be grateful for the blessings and privilege of being alive to learn and occasionally teach! I was a teacher, now I am retired and I am teaching myself math and science in the context of ham radio. I sometimes weep for those who died so young! I am So glad to be alive and to have enjoyed so much good in life! My friends and my studies... Huzzah!
There are many people in this country who have health problems and need to take pain killers to be able to function. They are not designed to "get people hooked". I am a medical professional and people who are responsible can use narcotics and they need these to live a pain free life. It is hard to understand if you dont have cronic pain but do not judge these people because one day you may be in the same situation. Who in this world would have real cronic pain and refuse something that would relieve that burden.
Thank you!!! I have to take narcotics for severe chronic pain (22+ years) but have never been “high” in my life. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke but because opiates get such a bum rap the DEA is making it impossible for people like me to have any quality-of-life anymore.
Fay I would like to ask you a few questions about chronic pain and if there is any one to talk to that isn't judging like your a druggie or abusing the meds ? I have had 3 major accidents in my life work related that has left me unable to work and I use pain medication to function. I've taken meds for 11 years now and have never abused them or any of the other things you hear about however the doctors suggested I use this medication to be able to walk and function in life and not laying in a bed or chair suffering and it has worked very well but for the past several years the same doctors now say you no longer need this medication for chronic pain ibuprofen will work just as well and continue to give me less and less and in turn I'm less active and in more pain and when I go to the doctor they no longer care about my quality of life or how I feel and treat me like a drug addict. It's very depressing, I feel violated by the doctors for over 10 years they treated me as a human who needed quality of life that has now reversed into a struggle for my medication. My point is the same people who have administered the pain medication that works well for me are now taking it away and don't care about your quality any longer and treat you like a criminal. Someone has to be accountable I'm just not sure who to talk to about this do you have any suggestions for me or a resource I can contact? Thanks
@@davidwarring6232 i know how you feel. I have a family member who suffers from chronic back pain and he sees a pain specialist. As far as i know he is being treated with respect by the doctor and nurses at this clinic. I suggest that you see if there are pain specialists in your area and try to get in to see them. It sounds like your doctor is running scared because of this opiod crisis that is going on. I cant believe that he has been treating you for years and now expects you make it on ibuprofen. That is the only way that i can think of you getting help is through a pain clinic. I wish i knew more but it is this crisis with opiods that has so many doctors afraid. If you have tests that you could take to an appointment that proves that you have a reason to be in pain then maybe they could perscribe something without fear. I hope you have success. I will pray for you.
Thank you very much, Lamont. I found out about you through Sweetie Pie Lo, and I'm so glad she informed us about you. While it is true that this is somber content, I feel it is very important content to share. Thank you very much for researching and telling these people's stories. You are presenting these stories in a very respectful manner, in my opinion. /// Also, thank you very much for strongly dissuading people from driving while texting and following too closely while driving. There are people I won't ride with because they follow too closely and I certainly will not ride with anyone who is texting and driving. I wish everyone else felt as strongly as the two of us do about these driving issues. I don't know what motivated you to create this project, but I believe it is a wonderful thing you are doing for society. People can learn from these stories and hopefully make better life choices, for example, getting away from abusive significant others.These stories can also be an inspiration to people who are struggling physically and still trying to make the most of life. /// It's possible that you are giving some of these people more respect in death than they ever experienced in life. Your sincerity and dedication are very obvious. I have subscribed and will continue to go on your journeys with you. You are utilizing your time, gasoline, and energy to do this for them - and for us. I am very appreciative, Lamont. You are indeed a fine human being and a beautiful example of how people should behave toward one another. Bless you in your journeys. 😊
My granddaughter died of brain cancer at just barely 20. We loved each other dearly and the two of us loved her "Shakey", She was a live wire and did not stand for any BS. Her name was perfect, "Harley."
Hey Lamont! Excellent video. Wow, it takes your breath away. I even got choked up a few times, Since this video was not titled of being about any famous person, I thought I would last maybe a quarter of the way through. No way. I watched the whole thing. It's totally fascinating all of the research that you do. Just hearing the sad stories really makes me thank God for what I have. I got tired of the commercials but it was worth putting up with since you have great content here. Keep up the good work. I'm happy I found your channel.
Thank you for bringing some of the stories of the deceased in your video. Usually one acquaints a cemetery for the elderly 60-90. Didn't realize how many were very young when they passed. Rest in Peace...
Thankyou for your empathy for these people. You tell us what you know about some of these lives, making us also think, that there may be some things we need to change.... Gayle. I enjoy your site and you have a wonderful voice.
I'm from Fredericksburg and live in Fredericksburg I have a friend buried there in Feb 2014 he lost his battle from heart condition and pneumonia he was 55 Ralf Corneille Day RIP my friend .
You do your homework about the graves and the people. We understand more about the people and circumstances of why they passed away. Great job Lamont 🇨🇦
I love how you are so passionate about what you do. You don't know these souls but seem to care greatly. Keep up the excellent work. I believe these people are honored that you make sure they are remembered. ❤️
Thank you for talking about the opiate epidemic and Richard Cizik. I didn't know him but had heard his story. I'm a recovering opiate addict. I used for 25yrs, have been clean for 3yrs. You're exactly right when you said those pills did what they were made to do, get people addicted. I'm one of the lucky few who hasn't overdosed and have made it...so far. My heart hurts for Richard's family. I've seen so many lives lost and ruined because of this stuff. 💔 also, you said you'd never heard of someone making poppyseed tea before, I have. My boyfriend and I used to grow poppies to make tea lol. Only certain ones work, but I'm sure it'd be easy to overdose. Super thankful for life.
I survived a car roll over as a passenger and 2 motorcycle accident and I work in a steel company, and I have lower to mid back problems... which I have rods and cages in my back, now I am. Am on pain medication but to you and this freak Podcaster to say and assume that opiates are made to get people addicted just shows you that both of you know absolutely nothing about what real pain is, however if you got addicted look in the mirror and try blaming yourself, because there are people out there with real pain.but if you got another alternative as what I can do for the pain I suffer am all ears.
Thank you for these videos , you are a great person who cares about people who live and who died. I will keep watching , keep up the excellent videos .God bless you.
Thanks for keeping those we lost memories alive. I know you probably have a lot of cemetery on your list to visit. There are a couple in Charlottesville, Va that you could visit such as: Hollymeade Memorial, Oakwood Cemetery and Riverview Cemetery. Good luck may God continue to bless you on your journey.
Beautiful cemetery😊😊thank you for telling their stories never to be forgotten. God bless Lamont. Been watching many years with you and I hope for many more to come.❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
With Ryan’s grave at 3:50 you can hear a small plane go by. Lamont please keep up your videos. It sheds light on these people that may have been forgotten after death. Also it may help solve there crime by showing there grave and the person responsible may feel guilty into a Confession. May God guide you and keep you safe mama you’re amazing and beautiful person on the inside and out God bless you each and every day.
I really appreciate what you do for these people that have passed away from tragically. You are an awesome guy no matter what people think or say about you I will always stand up for you thanks for sharing this video with us 👍🌟♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I think it’s great how you visit graveyards and give the dead a voice! It took me a long time to watch these wonderful places, I have an abject fear of dying I am hoping these videos will help me conquer my fear! Thank you Lamont! 🤩
Thanks Lamont your really make me appreciate life thanks for the vids and thanks always for being respectful with all these souls may they rest in peace
