love you steve, here for you.

I'm so sorry Steve.

Hey Steve. I'm rewatching this video because I'm about to loose my wife. I'm by her side now at Hospice. Thank you for making this video. Everyone, please take care of your other half. Don't let them work too hard ❤

I just found your video channel tonight. Last week I lost my wife, I am 45 and she was 44 married 21 years. She was healthy with no indications of any health issues. She suffered a massive stroke out the blue. I had the one too, I know everyone thinks that but no two ways about it she was. If you look for support for widows, there are a million resources. If you look for widowers, maybe one or two. None of them are focused on support while in our age range which is different. Sorry if the preceding is less than stellar on the grammar front but I don’t give a shit. She was my world, and I am trying to accept living without her.

Hey dude, I've loved watching your stealth camping videos lately. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. You got a lot of love and people rooting for you out here in youtube land.

Steve I can’t put into words how much my heart hurts for you. I as well as the million plus other people here are happy to offer anything we can to help. Love yah buddy.

I just watched 3 hours of your videos. The last 2 were of Crazy Neighbor's heading toward heaven, and I just learned of your beautiful Jess, too.. I'm sending you bucketloads of love and support. Please come around at your pace.... the comments show how impactful you are to each person watching your videos. Helped my day immensely. Thank you for your insights, and for showing up and carrying on. Life loves you through each day....

A year later. Steve I just want you to know me and a lot of people think about you. It tears me up to see a wonderful human being like you in such excruciating pain. She really seemed like the absolute real deal. Rest in peace beautiful soul.

this is heartbreaking. I’m sorry for your loss

My heart goes out to you and Jess’s family Steve. Really am sorry for your loss. Please reach out if ever you just want a chat. Appreciate we have a time difference but I’ll be on the other side of the phone if you need someone to talk to.

Recently discovered your channel and even now, I'm sorry for your loss.

Hi Steve , I know your pain, the same thing happened to me on the 28-1-2024, My darling wife passed in the night age 64, Im devastated and I do not know how I going to live on with out my darling Pam, I like you never had a chance to say goodbye and tell her how much I loved her. This is so hard to deal with and come to the relization that I will never see my darling wife Pam again. all the best mate ,, Phil from Aussie

This kind of loss is unfathomable. I’m so sorry, Steve.

She was so incredibly kind, hospitable, and down to earth. Sorry Steve, take care man.

Hey bud, I know this is a bit of an old video, but a caring comment won’t hurt I hope. Two years ago, my wife and two daughters passed away in a drunk driving accident. When it first happened, I was actually mad at myself. I was mad I wasn’t there. I was mad I couldn’t have stopped it. I was mad I couldn’t be there to help them. Instead, I was off buying Christmas presents for the three of them. The pain was unbearable. It felt like the comfy walls of my life had been torn down, and suddenly I was all alone. It took me over 4 months to even want to leave the house. I had no motivation, because my motivation had been killed in a car crash. You deserve to take however long you feel is necessary to stand yourself backup, dust off your gears, and get back out into doing what you love. It’ll never stop hurting, and I’m sure you know that. But use that hurt as a way to push yourself. Take every step with the thought that you’re doing exactly what she would have wanted you to do. I’m sorry bud. I’m so, so sorry. And I’m sure you know as much as I do that nothings gonna bring her back. Nothings gonna bring the three things I cared about most back either, but I can honor them. You waking up each day is your way of honoring her beautiful soul, and I hope you know that. You seem like a truly awesome guy and you deserve all the love and the praise, and you deserve to know that, even though she may have passed, you can still go out and rock the fucking world for her. Take care bud I really do wish you the best❤️

I don't know how this came across my youtube homepage, never seen this channel before, but this was very moving and a reminder to not take my life or those of my loved ones for granted. Jess sounded like a really special woman from what you shared in this video and I wish you well Steve.

I couldn't imagine what he felt waking up that morning and finding that she had passed during the night. It's unthinkable and truly heartbreaking. This is the first time I've come across your channel, Steve, but I want you to know that I'm so, so sorry for your loss and I hope you have a good network of people around you to help you through this difficult time.

not sure why i’m seeing this now, but it brought me to your channel. i hope you have found peace, your wife must have been so, so special. RIP

One of the nicest and down to earth guys you’ll ever see on KZfaq. I’m so sorry for your loss Steve she’ll be looking down, proud of all the things you are doing in life. ❤️

This breaks my heart Steve. We can’t all physically be there for you but we’re all here for you in spirit.

I didn't expect this to appear in my feed and I don't know you Steve, but my deepest condolences to you. I've never been married or had a girlfriend, but losing someone important in general is something everyone can relate to, I can see your great sadness while trying to hold it together. When you said your wife was the "real deal" I believed you, it seems that far too often truly life-changing and heart touching people we meet are called home early. Hurts more in a way since you don't come across people with conviction much these days. I hope you bounce back from this difficult time in time, but always remember that you owe it to her and you owe it to yourself to always keep her and the time you spent together in your memories.

She sounded like an incredibly kind women Steve, I hope you are well. We all love you.

Over a year later and I’m still crying for Steve. 🙏🏻❤️

Deepest condolences Steve. Hang in there. We are all pulling for you.

I lost mine 2 weeks ago to cancer. She was 44 - she was everything.

This is the first time I’ve come across your site. I am so moved by your genuineness. In your deep loss, you found the strength and took the time to express and share the love you feel in your heart with others. What an amazing compliment you have made to Jess who was able to bring out the depths of emotion that you did. She certainly must have been an extraordinary woman. There’s no need to apologize for having recognized how she impacted and changed your life in such positive and profound ways. I’ll remember you in my prayers as I think of you and these moments you selflessly shared with others in your time of grief.~~ Tate’s mom

I discovered your videos about 2 weeks ago and have enjoyed them so much. I saw this today and I know time has passed, but, I'm sorry for your loss. You seem like such a genuine guy and I'm sorry this tragedy befell you. Be well, friend.

My wife died two days ago and i found your video to try to find someone that understands what im going through. Thank you for your video

The best advice I received after the passing of my wife was, "It's OK not to be OK". This gave me permission to grieve instead of being strong and stoic. May God bless you in this season.

I don't know why this popped up when it did over a year ago, but I lost my Tara about the same time you lost your Jess. Tara, much like your Jess never woke up. I'm still heartbroken, as I'm sure you still are. I hope for the best for you..... I wish I had better words or some advice; but I'm still trying to cope with the devastation. As I'm sure you are too.

I'm in Australia, and subscribed to your channel 3 days ago. This has just come up for me. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's very raw, and you may never recover. I lost my beloved husband in 2016, and it still feels like yesterday. Sending you love from Australia x

Never watched one of your videos before, but this one popped up on my Home Screen for whatever reason. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. The fragility, cruelty, and shortness of life are things we try our best to avoid until they all decide to jump us at once. It's a hard thing to go through, and it's something that I hope I never have to experience. I don't know you, her, or your story, but given the way you talk about her she sounded like an amazing person. I wish you the best of luck. Keep fighting, even when it feels impossible. That's what she would want. Keep going for her.

"She was the real deal." She must have been, or you wouldn't be coming apart like this. She must have been something. As a man who has lost family recently here, I sympathize with your pain. For what it is worth, my prayers are with you. Whenever you go camping, she will be with you. I think I'll go ask around the food bank that runs out of the Lutheran church downtown and see if they need any donations or a helping hand. If nothing else, they have scheduled meals for the homeless and the otherwise needy, and I can cook. God bless, Steve.

Hey brother, I just found your videos yesterday. I’ve been binge watching them from newest to oldest and noticed you had a ring on in the McDonald’s drive through video. You seem like such a great and genuine guy, and even though I’ve only been a fan for a day my heart shattered when I saw the title of this video. You make the world a better place for millions of people who love your content, and I’m sure your wife was incredibly proud and felt so lucky to be with such a genuine source of light in such a tough world.

So many wonderful people express care for your situation. I lost my wife in 2005 so I do understand! I honor your wife! Bless you sir!

I feel your pain, my friend. I lost my wife of 51 years back in 2016. It is hard coming to terms with the passing of a loved one. My prayers are with you.

The pain in his voice is heart breaking, May she rest in peace Steve. I wish the best for you and your heart. I hope life brings you many amazing things and Jess can watch you from the clouds talking to God about how proud she is of you.

My wife died the same time @stevewallis made this video. I have watched this over and over 4:33 min clip. 1 Year later, I have grown hatred upon everyone around me of the fact that no one understand my pain. But that is okay, in the end I have come to realize that we carry ourselves upon this twisted world and some of us just got the cards not favouring our wishes... I continue my life (never as it was) but what I can in what I have gone through, that is all that can be expected of me. I am so glad that there is a person on this planet that can upload content like this in internet and take it as it is and give mental for all the rest of us going trough this pain no one else can understand. My condolences

My heart goes out to you, sir. I know it's been a year since, but the pain seems like it barely fades. Praying for strength for you 🙏

You poor sweet man. I don’t know why this ended up on my feed, and I can’t say I’m happy it did. Sorta the opposite of happy right now. But what I am happy about is that I got to find out about Jess. She sounds like an incredible person. I can tell just from what little you’ve said that the world is poorer without her. I’m glad I got to hear about her and know that she was in this world, making it a bit better every day. Thank you for sharing.

A man I've never met, in a place I've never been, yet I feel his pain as if it was mine within. R.I.P.

I’m so sorry to hear of your wife’s passing. Condolences to you and family. That you are keeping up with your dream of hunkering down be sure that an angel is watching over you. I’ve only being watching you videos after finding them for a couple weeks and often binge watch late into the night. I love looking up areas you been in to see Steve Camped Here! I definitely will be doing more for those in need in your wife’s memory. Thank you for sharing.

I just came across your channel a few days ago and already have been binge watching. I just saw this yesterday and am so sorry for your loss. Especially being young and unexpected. Again, no words can describe what you’ve gone through (and still are going through). I hope and pray you’re on the beautiful road of healing

I never seen this channel before, but I feel like there was such an adventure I missed and it still hurts me to here. As a married man myself I can't comprehend the feelings, prayers for you, love you brother. Please take all the time you need, condolences.

I'm so sorry dude I can't even imagine. my condolences.

I just got hooked on your videos today. You're probably one of the nicest and down to earth guys I've ever seen. You're honestly quite inspiring. I'm really sorry for your loss. I am glad to see you've kept it up and living life. Big hugs from me.

I lost my wife just before Christmas in ‘22 she was not only my wife but also my best friend. I feel for your loss, thanks for the video

Seneca wrote: "Sometimes even to live is an act of courage." Don't forget to have self compassion in your grief.

"On saturday, beautiful wife and I went to bed. On sunday only I woke up." I never thought 2 senteces could hold so much pain and sorrow. I'm truly devastated. I came across your youtube channel during the hardest covid pandemic moment here in Brazil and your videos quickly became an escape from all the sadness and anxiety that we, as a nation, were feeling. They were wholesome in a modest, yet truthful, way. I began to view you, beautiful wife and crazy neighbor almost as distant friends that I could come in contact with through the videos. Hearing the news about Jess's death is like losing a friend in a way. I hope you find the strength to go through this time of grief, and allow yourself to feel what needs to be felt. She'll always live in the hearts of the people she touched, good people always do. Take care Steve.

Wow(new to channel)brought tears to my eyes, very sorry for your loss, love that she would hand out packages to homeless, excellent idea🙏🥰

I'm so sorry for your loss. As evident by all the comments and support, you are an amazing down to earth person, and we're all rooting for you. Much love, brother.

Man I don’t even watch your channel. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I’m watching one of your videos and I just wanna say that I’m so very sorry for your loss. I couldn’t imagine losing my significant other. My heart and prayers go out to you tonight all the way from Tennessee. Again man, I’m truly sorry for your loss and you have my most sincere condolences. Stay strong my man. I know that’s allot easier said than done considering the circumstances.

I share your grief , Steve as I too lost my own beautiful wife over here in the UK in April. A Canadian friend offered the most helpful words of comfort in that the love of my life had been spared the fear so often accompanying the end for so many others. Keeping busy has kept me sane since losing her and I hope to see more of your adventures when you feel up to it. Incidentally, my wife also supported a local charity for the homeless. Love to you and yours at this difficult time. Bob x

Im sorry for your loss. Your videos bring so much joy to all of us at home. We're all here for you

I just found your channel a couple weeks ago. Been going through the older videos. And then some of the newer. I was wondering what happened to your wife. She wasn't mentioned in the newer. Well, I just had time to go back through and I seen this video. I am so sorry for your loss. My wife and I will be praying for you. I know it's been a year, but still, we will be praying for you. Thank you for your videos.

“she was the real deal” I love this quote, and I loved hearing that Jess loved giving. I’m going to go out of my way and give this week, for Jess. Love you Steve!

KZfaq recommended me this video, and all I want to say is... I'm so sorry for your loss, Steve. I may not know your wife all that well since I'm new here, but she sounds like a wonderful person. Take all the time you need to grief. 😔💔

Just found this channel yesterday. Watched a bunch of stealth camping videos already, Then came across this video today. I'm crying. Rest in Peace ❤

Steve, I’m just discovering your awesome videos. Came across this one and can’t begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I’m glad to see you’re still out here doing what you do and I know your wife is rooting you on. I’m sending all the positive vibes your way that I possibly can.

Found your channel through your roundabout camping video and I watched through the whole thing not just because I was intrigued by the premise but because you came of as super chill and easy going, I'm 5 months late but I'm really sorry for your loss and wish you all the best in the future, nobody deserves to lose a loved one, take care and I'm going to continue watching this channel prosper and in support of you and your wife. Stay strong.

I think you have everyone's sincere condolences Steve. All the best to you. Take care of yourself.

I recently started watching your videos, and out of the blue this one popped up. It’s impossible not to feel deeply for you, because we see what kind of a person you are in your stealth videos - there was a reason your marriage was to another beautiful human being. Because of kind hearted people like her, people like me get groceries each week that we otherwise could not afford to buy - thank you. 💖

I watched this video when it came out and it broke my heart for a couple days. Here I am again, bawling again. Love truly is the essence of life. We love you Steve, hope it got a little easier by now.

This video just randomly popped up on my recommendations. I’ve never seen your channel before, but this is absolutely heartbreaking. I just found myself shedding tears, and I’ve never even your videos before. Im so sorry for your loss man. I hope things truly get better for you in your future.

Hi Steve. last weekend my son and I spent two days overhauling a beautiful woodland walk near where we live in Marbella, Spain. We cleared a bunch of fallen trees and we picked up bags of trash. We did it in honour of your beautiful wife, Jess. I could always tell how much you loved her and how much you guys complemented each other. Your overwhelming loss is just about everyone's worst nightmare. Every time we walk the 'Beautiful Wife' walk we will think of you and Jess.

I just started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago, not knowing what happened to beautiful wife. I am extremely sorry for your loss. I am sure she is smiling down at you from heaven!! Stay the path!!

I’m so sorry! I just found your channel two days ago, and I’ve been binge watching. This breaks my heart for you. She sounds like she was an amazing person. I love the idea of care packages. ❤

No! Steve I am so sorry. Your fans are all here for you! Love you man❤️

Hey steve, unfortunately this was my first time watching one of your videos and it's sad that the first video I see of You is this and I'm totally moved by your story and deeply sorry for your loss. Your wife was obviously the light that gave you hope and motivation and I pray that you would continue with the same hope and motivation that she filled you with. Nothing can bring her back but you can remember her by doing what she loved for you to do, and continued to do it and enjoy what you do with the same hope and motivation. God bless bro and good luck soldier, keep your chin up and remember the big community that shares your lovely memories with her will always be here for you and have shared a lot precious memories of her with you will help you pull through, take care of yourself bro and I didn't have the pleasure or seeing her or knowing her but RIP wife (Jess) from what you said I beleive she was an amazing person ❤️

Steve you ROCK. Strong and adventurous. Definitely inspiring and you motivate me alot , thanks.

Brother, I just saw this…even though it’s been a year since you’ve posted this, my heartfelt condolences are just as real tonight as I watch this as they would be had I seen this when the video was posted. You’ve given me some great moments as I’ve struggled through my own life. You’ve inspired me to keep moving forward, even when I can’t see the purpose. So, thank you for sharing your life with us, this includes the good moments as well as the bad.

Oh man, I've never seen this guy it just popped up on my feed. I'm so sorry mate, truly. Loss is a horrible heart wrenching experience, especially since your wife clearly was so important to your hobby, KZfaq, and doing it together is a bonding experience, something you both built, enjoyed and will last forever. I'm sure she'd want you to keep on keeping on with the channel so stay strong for her Steve.

My Girlfriend couldn’t wrap head around why I was watching a guy camp behind a billboard and why I laughed my head off every time he cracked a beer. Eventually she got hooked too and started watching with me and loving every reference to “beautiful wife”. You’ve become a staple in our house Steve. Love from Tampa, FL

So sorry for your loss . I had the same thing happen to me went to bed Saturday night woke up Sunday 2015 and my husband if 28years was gone absolutely heartbreaking.

This absolutely broke my heart seeing steve so emotional. Been watching this channel since i was 18 and im now about to be 23. Will forever be grateful for the content u provide us just to give us even an ounce of enjoyment. God bless u brother

What an absolute tragedy. We're all poorly equipt to understand when something like this happens, it's shocking. Im so sorry Steve. My heart goes out to you and your family

I’ve spent the past 30 years attempting to reconcile why my Dad suddenly passed away right in front of my eyes when I was 14 years old. What I learned through some self-discovery is that being around the wilderness/nature can heal the soul and grief has no expiration date. Life can be cruel and unforgiving yet profoundly beautiful and breathtaking…each and every day we have no idea which part of the roller coaster we are on. Words will never be able to fully express the immense sadness one experiences with sudden death. Hunker Down in Peace Beautiful Wife ❤️

Mr. Wallis you are an inspiration to so many people I’ve only been subscribed for a short time and I’ve only seen a few of you’re videos but you’ve had a great impact on my life already. Please keep you’re head high and know that we all love you

Steve I know exactly how you feel I just went through the exact same thing, my wife and I laid down to take a nap I woke up and she didn't. This has been the most traumatizing thing I have ever been through, and I'm 71 years old she was 60 no health problems Nothing She had had a heart attack in her sleep. I don't know what I'm going to do It's so hard I hope after a year now that things are better for you, I don't think I can handle it I miss her so much Thanks Steve take care.

Man, just stumbled upon your videos recently and have started watching my way through a good few of them to keep my mind from brooding over my own circumstances. It's mortifying to find out how much tragedy you've had to endure. I really don't know what to say, but I wish you the best. You seem a fantastic person and I hope you have more tranquil years ahead than these last few must have been. Thankyou for everything you do.

I lost my wife last July 06, 2022. We went food shopping and she collapsed inside the store. The paramedics came and took her to the nearest ER. My daughter and I followed and she died that afternoon. She was my world and my everything. It’s been 9 months and I am 4:23 learning something new everyday to move on. It’s the “new normal” that I adjusting to. Time doesn’t heal because time is neutral and it’s what I do with my time that is healing me. I know what you’re going through.

I do not follow your content Steve. This showed in my feed. I still clicked and immediately feel the passion for what you do here and more importantly did together. Words fall short in a situation like this...but to honor Jess, her uncoditional kindness and love, I will go through my apartment and put aside clothes and other things to donate to local organisations. Ive never done this before, but I am moved. God bless, stay strong, my thoughts go out to you and those closest. ♡

So sorry for your loss, I lost my wife of 46 years two weeks ago, so much grief, thank you for sharing

I've been making my way back through your videos after having discovered your channel a few months ago, and finding this one really hit me hard. I think that now I can maybe see some of the pain you must be carrying over the past few years in some of your videos, but I also see that spark of optimism and perseverance that never seems to go away, either. Sending you my best wishes and thanks for continuing to make such relaxing and entertaining material. Safe travels Steve.

Never heard of this dude, and I can’t even imagine his pain. Losing someone so special is an unimaginable experience. I really wish you the best Steve! I hope you will be reunited with her one day!

Hey Steve, I’ve just stumbled across this video on my KZfaq feed. I’ve never seen any of your other content, I’m just reaching out man to man to extend my condolences, for I know exactly what you’re going through right now and my heart breaks for you. I lost my wife to brain haemorrhage in 2013 and can testify to the pain I know you’re in right now. My head went to some really dark places in the aftermath and I so wanted to join her, but with support of family and friends I was able to find the strength to make it through and I sincerely hope you have a good network of folk to fall back on. I can’t offer you any words that will make you feel better right now, as there are none in existence, but I will say that old adage is true and that time really is the greatest healer. 9 years on and I still have my moments where my grief will wash over me, but after a while you learn to cope with it. Stay strong buddy, distract yourself with things as much as possible and in the moments when the grief gets unbearable, go into those woods and let out a primal roar until it feels like your throat is gonna explode - it used to make me feel better to vent. I’m not a religious man, but I’ll pray for you tonight. Look after yourself brother. I wish you nothing but the best.

My.deepest condolences brother. God bless you with His peace.

Just found your channel, i love it, really sorry about the news. My deepest condolences.

Never been heartbroken for a stranger before today. Steve, you have touched so many of our hearts for so long, I want you to know you that have a million shoulders to cry on if you need it. Wishing you strength, buddy. Sorry for your loss.

Hi Steve. I highly doubt you will see this comment among the thousands of other ones, but I just wanted to say I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I only recently discovered your content but you seem like such an awesome, caring and loving man and the last person something like this should happen to. Your references to ‘beautiful wife’ in your videos are really touching and showed to me your love and admiration for her. I am 17 and I lost my mother in January and watching this video, something really resonated within me and I began crying for nearly 15 minutes. Completely unexpected considering I don’t even know you but I feel a deep empathy for what you are going through and it is truly an indescribable pain. I’m so so sorry for your loss. Please take as much time as you need to grieve and surround yourself with the ones you love and trust. Don’t pay mind to those 1% of horrible people who leave negative comments, they are absolute scum who would never say these things in public I’m sure, the cowards. I’m keeping you in my thoughts at the moment and sending best wishes to you and your family. You can do this and pull through Steve, everyone is behind you. Lots of love ❤❤❤

In so sorry for your loss, Your videos are always so awesome. Im glad your wife used to encourage you to start your videos an keep it going. We are all here for you ❤ My condolences 🙏 Please keep us posted, We care :)

My deepest condolences, Steve. Take all the time you need. Your community stands by your side.

This is heart breaking, life is not fair. The two of you inspired so many of us. Sending you all the love and support possible.

This popped up today. So sorry for your loss. She sounded like a beautiful person 😢

Love you man. So sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers❤️

Imagine how strong this dude is just to be able to sit and film this.

this man deserves more than anything in this world could ever give. if you see this, you’re exactly what people should look up to be.

Oh sweet gods you poor man, I don't know what I would do or become without my wife she is the absolute love of my life. My sincerest and deepest condolences to You and now hearing about crazy neighbor. I pray for peace and strength to you!

Steve, I have no words. I can't believe that you went through this. These last few years have been unbelievably hard, for a lot of us. Thank you for keeping doing what she loved watching you do, I have been enjoying your videos for years now.

Dude, I'm literally crying right now.. I went through the exact same thing a few years back. I dont have anything to offer other than sympathy and support. The grief and pain you feel doesn't just go away. You just learn to live with it. Be thankful of the time you had together and keep putting one foot in front of the other. For what it's worth, there are thousands and thousands of us pulling for you. My deepest sympathies to you good sir.
