Unfortunately he passed away on May 4th, 2020 🙏 RIP. Thank you for everything you’ve done for all these victim’s family. You’ve healed a lot of hurt. On Friday, three days before Zanis passed away, residents of his hometown formed a mile-plus-long car parade to pay tribute to him. His family invited people to drive by and wave so Zanis could appreciate it, according to WLS.

747 crosses in 3 weeks. That is absolutely beautiful the time and dedication he showed. God bless everyone

Rest in Peace Mr. Greg Zanis, you were too good for this world..

There was a shooting a few days ago here in El Paso, Texas and he came with 22 crosses!It really made the families of the victims feel a little bit better and they have been going to visit the crosses every day since the day of the tragedy. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤️

Yes this is a good man. He lives down street from my family. And I would see him outside most time in his garage when I drive by. I truly wish there was more people like this man in the world and better it would be.. this man is a remarkable gift from God. He put his hard hands at work to make this crosses for people strangers family,friends and love ones.glory to be God . God going to always watch over the wonderful that you are during and continue bless you with good health wealth and prosperity throughout your life. Because you are during a beautiful job by helping him. And may GOD continue to bless you with many more good years to come. Amen ..👏👍🙏❤

I'm not Christian but i absolutely respect this man's kindness.

RIP Mr. Zanis, thank you for your kindness. Gone but never forgotten.

This programme is so touching. Best tv programme in the earth and universe. Keep it on....

He is incredible, more Christian than most Christian. You are a father to be proud off . I am so pleased to see the gifts ;were up to the measure of your gift for each believed person.

Don't tell me angels aren't real much respect to you sir 💕

Yep. You don't need to be Christian to love this amazing man, you just need to be a human being. Respects to you, sir. From an Indonesian Muslim.

How the hell did I end up watching these videos? This is a man of dedication, determination, and love. Mad respect for this man, he definitely deserves this.

Am I the only one who can't believe, they asked him to make 700 crosses for the city of Chicago and did not offer to pay him anything? o_O

im about to get a tattoo next week, but after watching this, i think i need to spend my money and share my blessings to the people in need

What he did was simply AMAZING. Sadly Greg passed away. But the angels are with him. So special. So amazing. This is a real hero. NOT someone from Hollywood or in sports. A real life hero!

Crying my eyes out over this What a proper man is all about Giving when he has nothing himself

I remember reading right after this awful tragedy that this man traveled Last Vegas and put up these crossed for these victims. I cried then, thinking what a kind hearted man. Because he did it just out of love; that's a true blessing. God blesses us in ways you cannot imagine. From the depths of my heart, on behalf of the kindness you've shown, I pray that God will continue to bless you young man. A true, selfless act such as this is a blessing, especially in this day and time we live in. You are a bright, shining light in a world that's become so dark. I have no doubt you will continue to pay it forward with the blessing bestowed upon you for simply being who you truly are. God bless you

Think someone should start a go fund me page for this man to make the crosses

The crosses in memory of these who last there lives in Chicago with everyone holding a cross made me tear up this man deserves everything he received and ten fold god bless him

This man is what the world needs more of

This is what a real man looks like......

I wish I could hug you sir. What your doing is amazing. Thank you

Christ I'm crying my eyes out. RIP to all the victims. This is a wonderful man. 💜💙

I CRIED SOOOO HARD. To the man who did this God bless you and your family!!!

It would be wonderful if he never had to build another cross for a catastrophic tragedy like Las Vegas. This man is doing God's work on earth and I'm so happy to see FOX support him in this way. He truly deserves this "surprise". What an incredible person he is !

God bless this generous man and those who helped him.

This is his mission, just imagine not having money or food and building crosses for the people that passed away, such a beautiful soul

What a wonderful man. He’s the type of person we all would love to have as our next door neighbor.

Wow! This is wonderful.

People say "SMILE" is a universal language. I can say " Mr. Zanis" is universal too. I am a muslim and from Maldives. This made me cry. I felt the strong message he delivered through those Crosses.

Renews my faith that there are many good people out there. God bless his dear kind selfless heart.

This man lives in the next town to mine, I heard he’s battling cancer atm... may God bless him

I came across this video by accident..what an amazing story. God bless you sir!

Wow, this video made me cry so hard. Greg Zanis has since passed in May 2020 may he and every one he made a cross for R.I.P

Such an amazing man, we need more people like him. There are angles out there and he is one

This man is just a shining example of what everyone should strive to be!! Thank you for everything you’ve done you are amazing kind caring selfless gentlemen!! God bless 🥰

In tears if joy for this amazing man ! God bless you !!!

This humble man brought 23 crosses to Alabama for the 23 people killed in our recent tornado. I knew that I needed to know more about this loving, caring individual who uses his gift of carpentry to make these simple, beautiful crosses. They mean so much to the people who lost their loved ones and even though I did not personally know any of the deceased or their families they are my Lee County family. By his simple gift he has touched us all. What a gift he is to us-a bright, shining example of love and caring in a too often dark world

There is a special place in Heaven for people like this, it gives you faith in Humanity!

What a joy it is to know that there are men and women out there who put others first. They are to be blessed and they are to honored and thanked! God bless you and THANK YOU!

This is by far one of the most touching stories on the Fox5 surprise squad team. lets all show some love to Mr. Greg Zanis, wish you and your family many blessing and wonderful things are going to happen in your life. To all who reads this, remember to always give thanks and continue to smile.

Just a beautiful soul❤

I hope he can rest in peace and didn't have to suffer a lot. May God bless his family.

No one is ever alone in a mass tragedy it effects more than just one single family God Bless this man for his special gift..........

What a WONDERFUL way to express his love to ANYONE who has lost a loved one.....and doing it all on his own for so long!! I want to Thank FOX5 Surprise Squad and all the folks who gave him so many awesome blessings so he can continue to do what he's been called to do!! I'm just a Gran from Texas that just happened across this post and you've touched me so VERRRY MUCH! May God Bless each and everyone!!!

My heart can’t handle this. 😭 this one person, a complete stranger, has done so much for so many people.

This what angels do for humanity ❤️

Give this man a Nobel prize. Truly amazing

What a beautiful human being

God bless all of you, this man have heart of gold.

I'm proud to have a dad like this. I love my dad hes my best friend my life without my dad I'd be lost and I'm a 23 year old man and still need my dad once in awhile that will never change

This man is amazing; but it's at a great cost to his own family. Good on Vegas for embracing this guy.

So moving. such kindness. If you have been through a berievement, you appreciate help from such kind peoploe. What a lovely man. Thank you America. (UK viewer)

I cried so much, never a present was more deserved. God bless him and those who rewarded him for his efforts and compassion.

RIP Greg. You are the reason, that people still believe in hope and compassion.

Everywhere he goes he should be escorted into town. Communities should always welcome Mr Zanis. This is a special angel from heaven needed here on earth in these times. 20 years and he’s not stoping🙌🏾

I love this man. I am not religious, but him putting corsses out is so beautiful that I'm in tears.

Mr Zanis, You sir are a true inspiration to us all. I'm not an American but have felt the loss of lives in America and all over the world for that matter a true loss and waste of life. What you do selflessly is beyond comprehension to some of us in this world. As the gentleman said in the film i hope you don't have to keep making your crosses for too much longer but history tells me that won't happen. I'm not a religious man but if there is a GOD, he sure made a good bloke in you. Cheers from Australia: And thank you Fox5 for bringing this to everyone's attention #fox5

What a beautiful man!! Giving so selflessly for so long, to say every soul lost matters and those left grieving had a symbol to leave their symbol of love and remembrance. He deserved these gifts for so long. Although what he gives is so sweet and from his heart in hoping he will never have to do these again. This loss of life needs to stop.

Wow. Just found this video. The tears are starting to fall. What a wonderful, selfless man he is. If he was my father, I would be so proud! :) Wow, that Chicago number ...... speechless. :o Its things like this that make us stop and think about all those people's lives affected by these crosses.

😭 this is an amazing Man!!!

God bless AmericaPeople need more people like this

I burst into tears when they presented the man with the brand new truck and trailer for his crosses for losses mission of love.... What and overwhelming story.... 😭😭😭😭

What an amazing man!! So hard what he was doing!!

OMG, I'm in tears at work. I got a chance to visit Las Vegas shortly after the shooting happened and I just can't believe Mr. Zanis does this out of the kindness in his heart. Thank you for sharing love!

What a thoughtful gesture. A heartwarming person. Struggling to make ends meet for everyday living and yet, he fulfill everyone who’s pain must heal

R.i.p Greg, you were such a beautiful soul and I can only hope that someone carries your legacy. You spread love across America and no matter what type of views or anything you still built a cross for every one because you know how it felt to lose someone so close and dear to you.

GOD BLESS MR. ZANIS , HIS FAMILY AND ALL THE SPONSORS!AMEN!SENDING LOVE FROM QUEBÉC!🙏🏽❤😍🤗😘

This is such a wonderful story, and this man deserved this so much. The surprise squad really did such a wonderful thing by doing this for this man. Someone like him is so deserving of this and so much more for what he does for others. He also is such an example of what love for others really means. God bless him in all of his journeys throughout his life doing this amazing work.
