The Von Erich Family Grave 

I hear a lot about this family since I'm in Texas. Had to watch! You visited my cousin in Houston, Laura Smither. Her killer finally got convicted last year by the way!❤ I was there.

Kevin said one of the saddest things I have ever read: "I used to have four brothers, now I´m not even a brother".

I'm glad Kevin is still with us. He is married with 4 children and I saw an interview with him where he said he cherishes being here with his family.

It's very sad about the Von Erich family. One tragedy after another. Thanks for this video, Lamont.

Very sad for an extremely talented family Lamont you rocked this once again thanks for the great story and RIP to this family!

I always feel bad for the Mom… poor lady. I’m from Texas and I knew the story but nobody ever talks about how losing all but one son ❤️broke her heart.. 17:02

What a fascinating story Lamont. You did it so well as usual. So very tragic. ❤😮

My entire heart goes out to Kevin! He lost his entire family! Every single sibling! Both parents and all in tragic ways. Keep on keeping on Kevin ❤

I grew up in east Texas with the Von Erich's and being related to them and spending time with them at the ranch and in Tyler Texas I feel blessed to have had them in my life..thank you for making a nice video&being so respectful. ❤

Thanks Lamonte for the story. So sad and so many losses for that family

Bret tried so hard to convince Kerry that his kids needed him. He thought, he had finally convinced Kerry to "not do it". When he found out, Bret was devastated, and wished he could have done more.

Lamont thank you sooo much for doing this story! I was hoping one day you would. 😍

Stay safe out there, and rock on, Lamont! 💜✌

My uncle was a pretty close friend to david. He told my mom that they were at the bar one night, and david mentioned a sharp pain in his belly and even crouched over in pain. My uncle and his friends said you should get it checked out. David said he had already made a gastrologist appointment due to his concern as this wasn't the first time, but thought it was a pulled muscle at best. There was a scheduling conflict and he had to cancel the appointment to fly over to japan. Had he gone, the doctors would have probably found out his intestine was ruptured. Tragic timing. Definitely a curse of some sort was placed on this family. Kevin was the only one that acknowledged fought against it and because of that, is alive to this day. RIP Von Erichs

I absolutely loved the Von Erich’s growing up. I stood in line at town east for hours to get Kerry’s autograph. Lots of of my family and friends are buried at that cemetery as well. Thanks for the video. ❤

I’ve never seen a family so cursed, so tragic

Wow Lamont that was some story , thank you for sharing that, it’s a lot. Very tragic.

Lord Jesus, those poor parents. So so sad. 😢😢😢😢😢

Im from Dallas and grew up watching the Von Erich family wrestle. My mother is buried in this same cemetery. You went right passed her grave.❤

Hey Lamont I live in Dallas and My family loved watching the Von Erich’s on Saturday Nights on World Class Wrestling. I live in Dallas only correction is the Dallas Texans were owned by Lamar Hunt and within a year of the creation of the Dallas Cowboys he moved the team to Kansas City and they became the Kansas City Chiefs. If you look at the Chiefs throwback helmet logo. It’s basically an outline of the state of Texas. Keep bringing the good vids.

100% The most Tragic Events in all of wrestling with the Von Erich. The Mother Dorris was the Glue that held that family together. Rumors have it those boys could party with the best of them. The Von Erich’s were Like Movie Stars in Texas and WCCW. Some of my Favorite matches of all time are Kerry vs Chris Adams , Kevin vs Chris Adams and anything with The Free Birds.

Hi Lamont, again it was nice meeting you again for the 2nd time in a couple of years

I remember Fritz Von Erich fighting Cowboy Bob Ellis in the 60’s. Yes, I’m that old.

My great grandmother is in Grove Hill. A lot of Dallas and Texas history rests there

Thank you for doing a story on the Von Erichs my favorite wrestling family the first family of professional wrestling

Very Cool coverage Lamont, Thankyou!

I was not a wrestling fan, but heard of this family because my cousin had a crush on Kerry Van Erick . This was so tragic.

I could add a lot to your story, I lived in Shady Shores, right near the Von Erich’s, mom, dad, Mike and Chris lived on Fritz lane in the family home, and David, Kevin and Kerry lived in a little wood framed house on Shady Shores. They were about a mile down the road from us, and they’d have parties so loud we could clearly hear the music lol. We were enraptured living so close, my brother was the same age as Chris and he spent a lot of time at their house. There IS a lot I won’t say about the two younger ones since they aren’t here to defend or rather explain themselves. But the older brothers worked out every single day, and one afternoon Kerry was in the home ring and invited Chris and my brother to come tussle around, the boys were around 10-11 or so at the time, my brother tried to punch Kerry on his back, hit his shoulder blade and shattered his wrist. Our mom was the “I will sue you!” Type so my brother told her he broke it while jumping the ditches down Fritz Lane 😂 Mom never knew lol, we did get tickets to go to the SportAtorium from time to time and our dad loved it! Imagine our surprise when we were watching a wrestling program and the Free Birds, their major nemeses team, THE BAD GUYS, was sitting around a pool talking about how they were going to beat The Von Erich’s and they were AT the Von Erich’s house, that was their POOL!

As a Texan, I saw this family wrestle in person at the sportatorium so many times, I met David Manning when his Mom was in the hospital where I worked, & once David Von Erich was thrown out of the ring by King Kong Bundy & landed right in my lap, almost broke my leg!! I didn’t even care, I was mesmerized, & Kerry was my high school crush. I still have signed pics by David, Kevin, & Kerry ❤ Their deaths just devastated me. I cried like I had lost a family member. Such a sad tragic story. RIP Von Erich’s ❤❤❤

You did an amazing story here Lamont. I just TOTALLY loved it. So sad they are all gone now. Blessing's to them all.

Texas native here. I saw Kerry wrestle in Cleburne, Texas in the early 80’s. He was so nice to his fans.

I’m so glad you did this video, i was hoping you’d do it, I love the Von Erich’s, we didn’t have cable I couldn’t watch WWF, but they showed WCCW every Saturday night. It was better than WWF because they showed all the title matches on tv, WWF wouldn’t show anything but promos

Very sad story for this family. Thank you for your hard work Lamont. We appreciate you.

Fritz’s favorite son was Kerry, all the brothers knew it, Kevin said

I met all of them as a kid, my dad was the chef engineer of channel 39 when they broadcast at the sportatirium in downtown Dallas.

Kevin got a really bad concussion once, the doctors said he can’t wrestle for a while, Fritz didn’t care, said he’ll be alright, and sent him to Japan to wrestle, Kevin was taking off his ring jacket and gets kicked in the head and knocked out, Kevin got so mad he snapped the guys knee on purpose because of that. And the Von Erich’s were bad guys in Japan.

Ooo finally something wrestling related. Instant liking this video

I Thank you so much Lamont for this Video. My first time of hearing about this story.

I just saw the "Iron Claw" movie last night. I enjoyed the movie. It's such a sad story about the Von Erich's.😊

Very informative video. Thanks for making it!

Beautiful family with a very sad story behind them -- 😪

Wrestling has more than one royal family Unc…this one was cursed beyond comprehension 😢

Several years ago my wife was we thought it was the flu. And it turned out to be a kidney stone and sepsis in her blood we didn't know anything about the stuff so we just thought it was the flu... I almost lost my wife that night... So if you have high temperature and sometimes even low temperature could be a kidney stone which definitely turns quickly into sepsis of the blood... Get to an emergency room

Ty so much for doing a Von Erich story.. I remember coming home from the skating rink and my grandpa recorded it all for me, he never forgot. Im glad I got to see them all wrestle. Ty Lamont for bringing some good memories back, its appreciated. Stay safe❤

BRO ITS crazy HOW MUCH YOUR CHANNEL HAS GROWN !!! I REMEMBER YOUR OLD STUFF WHEN YOU HAD NOTNING BUT YOUR VAN! GOOD STUFF

Very interesting story Lamont! I had never heard of them before this! What a sad and tragic ending for the whole family!! Keep up the great videos!!

I really love how you add more photos and even video clips to your videos. It’s great to put all the faces together. I’m sure it’s more work for you but it is appreciated.. thank you for all your hard work.

Mike had a fever of 105 with the toxic shock syndrome which caused brain damage. He never really wanted to wrestle anyway. His Dad should have never put him back in the ring. He wasn’t the same and it led to his depression and ultimate unaliving himself.

Such a sad story 🙏🏻to this family,great video Lamont!

Good stuff as always Lamont

I'm very happy to finally see this video being done I think I suggested that Lamont do this video a long time ago videos have been done on the von Erichs before I thought Lamont could do a really good video on the von Erichs because of how he tells stories good job on the video Lamont

Such a tragic story. Kevin is the lone survivor. Thanks Lamont for doing such a great job honoring the Von Erichs. Owen Hart's & Eddie Guerrero's deaths were just as tragic. Especially Owen's who's death was a tragic accident. By the way, the Dallas Texans are now the Kansas City Chiefs. I remember Kerry in the WWF when he beat "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig to win the Intercontinental title at SummerSlam in 1990. RIP🙏the🪦entire ⚰️Von Erich family.

Great video Lamont.Sad stuff.

Lamont when you coming through North Carolina? I would love to meet you. Also digging the mustache

one of the greatest wrestling families such a tragedy what they have gone through

If you ever come to lawrence kansas again, It would be cool to meet you. After all, lawrence has one of the only natural true burial section in the USA. 100% compost section let alone the history of lawrence ks anyway. Lol. I've been falling you for years now and I enjoy your truthful bluntness and accuracies in the people who you dedicate your time to research. Best wishes to you and thanks for covering the untouched stories of people who have passed on. Blessings to you for your future travels. I also think of the Hart family too. My husband is a huge multi decade * old schoolWWF* 80's child fan. Thank you Lamont.

The Iron Claw was a great movie about this family. Very sad story

I never heard of them. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos lamont 💟

Grew up in Lawton, Ok. Loved watching the Von Erichs wrestle the T-birds live. Von Erics were my favorite wrestlers at the time. Great Job on the video, Lamont🤙Much love

My mom loved Wrestling at the Chase and we watched every Saturday. I had a huge crush on Kerry Von Erich. So sad that this family had to go thru this. Their poor parents.

Thank you for taking the time to post this! Very well done.

Such a tragic story about this family.

The best wrestling fued ever was von Erich’s and the free birds

Great video Lamont!!! I always watch as soon as I seen the notification. You did their story justice, and being from Dallas and my dad teaching me from very young who they were, and I was able to watch half of them. I was born in 82, so I was at the perfect age to watch the ultimate warrior and the Texas tornado wrestle together and then when they separated the tag team, I still loved both of them the most of any wrestlers. My twin brother was a Hulkamaniac. So many times we pretended and wrestled against each other as them. It was great, then to hear as more of them kept dying, my dad would just cry. It was a truly gifted family that didn't get to reach it's full potential because fate had other plans. Great vid keep up doing what you do. We all love it 😊thanks for your hard work.

they are all good looking! so sad 😢 rip 🕯️💐

When I was a pre teenager I met him in the halls of the Sam Houston Colisium in Houston after a match that our family went to & we were the only ones walking down the hall late as wrestlers would leave late (it's how I became a groupie early in my life) & he signed my autograph book that I wish I still had. This is so sad. I know where they all went. I had a crush on Kerry too. So achingly sad

Amazingly sad tragedy, I didn't know all of this. I saw all of them in the ring when I lived in Lubbock TX. Thank you so much for sharing.

It’s been a while Lamont. I grew up w/wrestling too & remember the Von Erich tragedy’s. I respect the journey that you do everyone doesn’t feel comfortable in cemeteries & graveyards. (I know you know the difference) Do you ever get contacted by spirits of the deceased?

Actually, Lamont, KDOC channel 56 had WCCW in LA in the early mid 80s. I’m a few years older than you, but I remember watching that promotion, one of the first shows I ever watched was right after David Von Erich died.

I have to admit my favorite was Kerry. I grew up watching wrestling with my brother. That family was famous for THE CLAW. It was always entertaining! Thanks for reliving a part of my life. 👍😊

Thank you for including David’s little girl next to him. Jack junior is also buried there in the same row as them.

The dad forced them to wrestle and they only wanted to make dad proud but at the sametime hurt themselves mentally

😢 Wow! What a sad story thank you for sharing and remembering this family! ❤️

My pawpaw is buried literally across the street from the Von Erich’s graves

My uncle Bob was a bodyguard and walked them to the ring. My mom would take us to watch them wrestle every weekend in Fort Worth. I used to kick it with Mike and Chris before they started wrestling. Thanks for doing a video on the Atkinson family.

Omg I suggested this!! Thanks for covering Lamont ❤ Kerry was my grandmothers favorite

Thank you Lamont . I remember the family watching wrestling like you.

I met Kerry through my aunt. He came to wrestle in my home town and my aunt was the nurse behind the scenes making sure the wrestlers were all fit and able to go on. Seemed nice enough.

May they all rest in peace 🕊🤍🕊🤍🕊🤍🕊 great job on telling there story Lamont ❤

Crazy story this one. Sad.

Every girl had a crush on Kerry because he was so handsome not that his brothers weren’t but Kerry was more muscular and that hair of his just flowed.

Our city had their wrestling on tv. Loved all the von Erichs. Remember freebird fight and the fight between chris adams and gino hernandez. I never knew until after Kerry killed himself that he lost his foot. Such a tragedy 😢 glad Kevin has peace now in Hawaii with his family.

This family suffered an awful lot of tragedy 😔

Although you put out other great videos, this is the best one! Thanks from all the true wrestling fans ❤

Wow very very sad story! My home town is close to Calgary, where the Hart family was while know. I remember the Texas Tornadoe! Thanks, Lamont. very interesting story.

You should do a video about the Anderson Family. On December 24th, 2007 (in Carnation, WA), 6 members of the Anderson Family were gunned down by their daughter/sister/sister-in-law/aunt, and her deranged boyfriend. The crime was incredibly horrific, and the two murderers were sentenced to life in prison.

Thank you for sharing Lamont very sad and a very unfortunate family R.I.P Von Erich Family God bless you Lamont stay safe X

Growing up in Lake Dallas where they were very popular just hits home! Fritz would come in the little grocery store that I worked in as well as his parents….just the sweetest people! Such a tragedy for our small town as each one of them passed 💔

LOVE ALL UR VIDEO'S ❤❤❤ KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK THANK YOU 🙏🏽

Such a sad story. I can’t imagine the pain and grief the parents and Kevin went through. I’m surprised they’re not all buried alongside each other

Yeah that's a crazy situation with the bond Eric's and Chris Benoit love your videos man

Thank you Lamont for this one. Well done and respectfull!!! I live in Athens Texas and would get tickets every for my bithday. I watch then every saterday night. I got to meet Kevin and Christ Admas for my 16 birthday. They were so nice and did a favor for my them.brother in law who was a police in this county. That was great day. They also move out in the last years to Edon Texas close to our fram. I still think about it when i go down that road. Once again thanm you.

Wow brother I used to work a grove hill win I was 19 many years ago ! I used to take care of there graves ! And others ! Memories watching you there.

Kerry Von Erich was in the movie “problem child” he was one of the prisoners, he had a line, the part where he read the letter to Michael Richards in the jail.

So many brothers gone so early, very sad story, thank you for sharing Lamont. Hope your ok ?
