I'm 41 days clean today an really needed to see this, thank you for sharing. You really never know what someone is going through. Good people get hooked on dope everyday. Please try an help dont put them down I promise they dont want to live that way either. ****Just hit my year clean yesterday ! Didn’t know this existed until the day before the year mark. If that isn’t divine intervention I don’t know what it. Thank you all truly for the kind words I truly appreciate everyone of them. I am a better father and better man. I’m so glad I seen this life. Thanks again.
Probably his older brother, because he got caught in a BOLD FACE LIE, saying Gary was never there for his younger brother, what he says in the letter proves it!!
I love this dude. He Is one of the most REAL DUDES I have ever seen..Not a lot of people invite you into their private world. He is a real G. Real gangsters started out as a means to protect fam n friends. Real men don't corrupt their hood. They raise it up.
Man you are a beast. So many comics have a singular angle. “Be funny”. I love the depth you show here, bring us into your real pain and the tragedy you’ve experienced. Thank you man. Also May is mental health month, so even though you may not realize it, you sharing your story may inspire others to talk about what’s bothering them. Thank you man.
My sibling is on drugs. We cannot give them money. I wish they knew how it feels to have what they need but we know we cannot give it to them. On the outside we seem cold but they place us in an impossible position. My brother had a stroke 3 weeks ago and I just dropped him off at rehab 6 days ago. Im drained.
I know the feeling. I had gotten to the point of loathing a family member that was hooked on drugs. After an overdose attempt, i flat out told them that if they ever tried that attention seeking behavior again, that I would let them die. We were all tired of that behavior at that point. By the grace of God, after they were released from the hospital they went straight to rehab and has been sober since. I pray that your family member gets the help they need. And I pray that you get help for dealing with all of the damage that they caused you. Pray helps.
Men crying and feeling pain, loss, love, empathy is what will save us all in the end. Gary is a truly special man to share this with us. My sympathy, compassion and condolences to him and his family.
I can see how much love Gary had in his heart for his brother. This made me realize how much Ive been neglecting my older brother over the years I need to call him and connect again because you never know what could happen
Gary your brother loved you and appreciated everything you did for him. Tears are because you can still feel that love in his letter. Don't let anyone take thst from you. Its in your heart forever.💜
Mr. Owen, Keep your head up and know that our Heavenly Father has you. He has not brought you this far to leave you now. He will continue to give you the strength that you need to heal and help your heart deal. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Drugs have touched everyone in some kind of way. Know that you are loved and will always be loved!!!
im not even a religious guy, but its this type of kindness that makes me ENDLESSLY respect yall. Having so much faith is a beautiful thing, how do you do it?
@@vinny5638 Its respect and trust. Some of the things I have been through in my life could and does break most people. From being raped as a young child and abused by exhusband I had to know that my Heavenly Father wouldn't does this to me. However now that I am older my story has helped so many young and older women.
It's hard to see a family member in trouble you do what you can to help but try as much as you can they have to make them selves happy you cannot control their depression. Your Great brother.
Don't mind your brother, he is jealous. Probably mad at himself, for not being there for Dallas, maybe mad at himself, because he went and ruined his life and needs a shining sun to block and bring darkness to. Keep doing what you do, because God Bless those who lives for him.
Had some of the same thoughts. The brothers reaction is more about his inadequacy. Based on another interview of Gary's I saw, I'm sure he would still help this brother if he needed it despite what he said about him.
Whew this tore me up!!! You could tell how broken up Gary is on this, thank you for sharing and being so transparent!!!! You are one of my top five favorite comedians and you are so genuine continue being blessed you and your family!
I totally feel you on this.... I'm a recovering addict off meth heroin coke ...etc etc.... I'm lucky and I made through so far to almost 7 years clean... It actually hurt me watching you read that letter .. I cried with you... may God bless you and your family .. I'm so sorry for your loss
Congrats on being clean keep that momentum!!! I know COVID has been crazy and can be hard on ppl and their mental state and progression. Praying for you continued strength and momentum
Its ok gary...crying cleanses the soul...alot of thoughts..longing...especially in these times. Reflection prepares you for the future. thank you for sharing this with the world. Continue to be greatest you.
Gary, I feel he really truly loved you more than you know. Thank you for sharing your brother's letter with us, I know that was hard to do. My only sister Delana passed back in February due to her not loving herself enough to take of her body. I was her big sister that was there for everytime she was admitted to the hospital. I tried so hard to get her to where she was ready in her mind to reverse the things she had do to herself, but unfortunately it never worked. Her death was hard, but I had to be strong for her children and now I'm raising her son. You did everything you could do for your brother, just know that.
Sexcred 4Life You can love your family but you don’t always have to like them. Sometimes you have to remove yourself from the toxic family you were born into for your own health and safety.
So good. I was gushing the moment you started to read. Went through it myself with loved ones and it rips your heart out. Prayers to great men like you sir.
Thank you for sharing. It takes a lot to be open and talk about your brother. I dealt with the same situation with my brother and he as well lost his battle with the addiction. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

You are brave for sharing that. You know he meant those words. Ive been clean for 7years but the most truthful i got with my family were those first letters💜💜💜💜💜 Your doing great by sharing his story
Now that’s the brotherly love EVERYBODY should be blessed enough to have. I’m not sure why this made me cry, but you never know what someone has to deal with in their lives. My God. I have a newfound respect for Gary. God bless you.

Very touching and also tough! Thank you for sharing this. May is when my mother died. I hate this month as well. But it feels better to know that I am not alone. R.I.P Dallas. Gary, you are an awesome brother! 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️💙💙💙
I lost my brother two years ago. He was my little brother as well. I feel your pain brotha. You and your brother know the love between you 2 will be there forever ❤❤❤
I am crying with you Gary...I know it's hard to read that letter. We all Thank you for sharing and for being who you are. Gary, stay strong Our Brother.
I've got 3 brothers and couldn't imagine losing any of them. Gary, you're my favorite comic because you show your human side all the time. So sorry fir the loss of your brother! I can't imagine! You're awesome brother!! Keep up the great work!!
Much love & respect we will keep you in are prayers that's why we all love you cuz you always keep it real you show good/bad no matter what you put your real life's path so for that thanks & sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss Gary... I was choking up myself. I could tell this was extremely hard for you to share but you did. You are helping others realize this is not an easy addiction to let go of but if they keep fighting the battle within to want they will win...very hard but it can be done. God bless you Gary & your family. You did everything you possibly could for your brother remember that and don't ever feel like you didn't. You have a beautiful heart.
Gary you did something so many of us wish we could do to help a loved one who needs help. Take comfort in knowing that he knew how much you loved him because you cared enough to help. I'm so sorry for your loss. Be blessed.
This is my first time seeing this. Thank you Gary for sharing this moment. You didn't have to, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who can appreciate you allowing us to witness such a vulnerable moment. This shines light on how addiction affects so many people in different ways. I will pray that God can continue to give you the fortitude and solace that you need. Blessings.
You are a great man, and a greater brother. Dallas knows the love you have for him and it sounds like he had as much love for you. Thanks for sharing and stay funny!
I lost my brother to a heroin overdose when he was in his early 30s and i understand the pain Gary. Thanks for sharing with us. It helps us all but most importantly it helps you!
I can tell you love him ,a brothers bond is special my respect for you grew so much today when you read that letter you could see into your kind heart wish u the best Gary 🙏
I'm so sorry G. I'm in the same situation with my older brother. Watching you react to your brothers letter hit me hard. I hope he's at peace and you find yours too. God bless my friend. Your a great man. 💔❤
