This man deserves everything that took place. The boys are great too. God is looking after the whole family.

This one brought me to tears. Amazing to know that there are still some great people out there.

I've never cried over something home makeover..I can feel the genuineness and kindness over Steven and his family, the kids were raised by a good father and you can see that the way they talk and act..This man deserve everything good in this world. He's a hero in and out.

This was so thoughtful of you all.. the guy deserved it all.. couldn't control my tears. So incredible

It's good to see, someone who really deserves good things! Getting good things! He's an Angel Man😇

This man is just amazing, a true hero saving lives and working 3 jobs with 3 kids and adopting another 2 more kids..I'm just moved to tears watching this video, he totally deserves everything the love, the house, the recognition...everything..Great and loving family.

God bless this man may his kids turn out to be just like him in their adulthood he is a hero 🇿🇦🇿🇦

I love the thoughts they put in to work. I love every detail they did in each those rooms and even gave Gigi her own little spa. Kudos to the whole team. And this man Steve deserved everything that happened. Great guy with a great family 💛💛💛

He's so blessed having two dads who cared.💗 all children need a good dad in their lives, in or out of their home. Dads be present please 🙏 you make such an awesome difference focusing on your children.

I held it together until @33:08, when they shouted, "we got food!" That shows they have experienced some very rough times, and are very much deserving of this wonderful blessings. May their lives always be enriched and nourished and blessed from here on out!

Beautiful and Inspiring. In South Africa we call this ubuntu and that is compassion and humanity 👏🏾👏🏾

He deserved all this because he had a golden heart,not just saving the woman but he adopted also the friends of his son and considered his own son,he saved these 2kids from separating from each other and who knows the 2boys will end up on the street doing horrible things if he didn't adopt them. I just pray this big family will live a healthy relationship and help each other. 🥰

I’ve got tears running down my face, what a great man! He and his family deserve this and I wish them luck happiness and nothing but the best ❤️

This entire video brought me to tears from start to the end. There's hope for humanity after all. All pure love and extreme display of what humanity should be. Thank you all the inspiration and love shown in this video.

Steven is one awesome dad. Raising five kids as a single dad is totally amazing. I wish this family all the love and greatness happiness.

This got me crying throughout the entire video. This man is truly an angel.

Another deserving family… the daughters room is like a hotel spa it’s gorgeous ❤❤

Seeing his coworkers happy to help got me emotional

Damn, i never wished someone much deserved than this guy, truly he really deserved all the things for the many good things he did. What a good soul.

I don't remember the last time I sobbed like this, what a great guy he deserved all and more 👏

This was made 17 years ago 😱😱 . Those kids will be in their late 20s/early 30s now. I’ve seen this episode before. It’s amazing.

One of the best episodes of this show hands down, hope this family is doing well

Steven Johnson you are an amazing man , your story has brought me to tears of hope and joy. You and your family deserve everything good that life has to offer.

This is so wonderful. This man, this family truly deserves it. What a good heart he has.

What a man. And his family of five kids have such an awesome role model. I can see them all doing wonderful things in this world! What a blessing to have him in our world!

What a wonderful man. Whatever he's given is well deserved. We need more people like him.

You deserve every good thing's in this world champ. Great father and a great role model to your children

he is worthy of everything 👏🏻👏🏻Extremely selfless n caring person

He's a hero in every which way. Well deserved.

It’s so great to watch something positive for a change,especially when there is so much negative on our planet at the moment. This father was deserving of this wonderful surprise. Awesome show guys,I wish we had this sort of thing in Australia.❤️👍

i cried so much, what a beautiful story. There are still good people in the world and thank you for taking care of them.

Thank you Mary Seymour and extreme makeover home edition for bringing a little heaven to a well deserving family ( The Johnson family ) What a respectful family. Mary Seymour, hope you are all well. For EXTREM MAKEOVER, I hope you are continuing to bring smile to well deserving family, you are a great bunch.

Wow! I cried watching this. What an awesome dad and he has the kindest heart. Bless his heart.

I was watching too much family court lately where theres a lot of dads who make babies all over the place and dont do anything for them. this has restored my faith in humanity. What an amazing dad! he talks about how much he loved his own dad and step dad and now the legacy will be his own kids will probably be great parents too.

I am so happy for this family.

A real man, raised by real men, who is raising real men of his own. It is so important for boys to have that influence in their lives. So deserving - and I want Gigi's spa!!!

A total tear-jerker - I loved this! Such deserving people and the incredible support of their community too. God Bless ALL these people!

Only in America can a paramedic be shot. Hope everything go well for this great family.

Such a humble man with a huge heart. Most deserving.

This man deserves it all and much much more. What a genuine caring loving man he truly is. Cheers from Australia 👍🍻🇦🇺🐨💖🙏

Allah bless everyone who did what they did for the family. As a single police officer father also of five children and three grand children it brought joy and tears to my eyes to know that people don't tell you but they appreciate your service. Thank you

It wont be a coincidence that every one of the children are beautiful humble graceful and well mannered.. Hes an exceptional man

I laughed and cried watching this awesome Family… Wish them all the best!! ❤️🇦🇺

Loved this show - it was the best thing on tv for a good few years!!!

This is how the world should. Thank you for your service and thank you very much for changing this family's life.🙏

Can’t think of a more deserving family especially the father wishing them all lots of happiness love and laughter in their new home 😍 great job Extreme Makeover 👍🏻🙌🏻😍

On a side note: Would you consider lowering the volume of the background music, or eliminating it altogether. It is hard for those of us who have hearing problems to be able to discern the conversation from the music.

I I’ve watched this episode numerous times!. think, out of all the episodes, all the series, over the years I’ve watched, this has to be my number 1. This dad’s heart is pure. Stay safe everyone 🙏🏼🙏🏼💕

Pure joy. There's so much love in all these people. Thank you God.

Such a genuine beautiful man. You deserve everything you receive...

Such a touching episode. And young Gina could easily do voiceovers for cartoons, kids shows and fantasy. Somebody should get her a contract.

This was an EXTREME makeover to be honest. It was emotional as well as joy!!

When I tell you I bawled my eyes out no joke...this was amazing I'd love to be part of such a beautiful experience

This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you guys for making the Johnson family happy. I hope one day such beautiful makeovers will reach here in Kenya. God bless all those who made this come true. God bless you dad for loving those children, you deserve it.

This is by far the best makeover ever. This man deserved every inch of this makeover and such great kids. Great job guys and ladies everything is beautiful. 🙏

What an amazing man and father, bless him and his family ❤️

My first time commenting on this show... this is the most heart felt episode I have every watched.. the gratitude was so genuine from eveyone... amazing, well deserved

This is sooooo beautiful to watch. Got me really emotional. Amazing dad, amazing family. ♥️♥️♥️ Thanks to the team who made this happen.

Because of this America is the best country in the world. God bless America, God bless free people of US. Greetings from Armenia.

Ooh God I have never cried like this as fur as I am in Africa, Uganda in 2023

Wow a super family, awesome dad and Kids. Hope they live full and happy lives x

The speed that end credits roll on American shows is INSANE.

This is incredible. Thank God for everyone who has been involved, the neighbors, firefighters, every organization, and the team. Thank you. I pray that more people get such opportunities.

I find this amazing, how come some one without a wife think about adopting other children? THE LORD RICHLY BLESS You for bringing those children to Your home for care taking, You deserve every bit of the Blessings You 've received.

This family deserves everything they got. Beautiful and perfect

It's not easy being a firefighter, it gets a lot of hard work and beyond!

We all always say military and fire - ambulance and police are our heroes but, we clearly see hear than construction workers never should be forgotten ❤

Thoroughly deserved 👏🏻👏🏻

Extreme Makeover team, God bless y'all for your efforts, support, passion, hard work and self less love. Changing a life is an awesome act that makes life worth motivating and living. Wow you are heroes

The way those boys bounced out the door....much taller than I'd expected....all in white t shirts... They, and the way the front garden looks, reminded me of Jim Carrey's "sons" in Me, Myself and Irene! 🤣 I pictured the dad on the sofa squished in the middle of his kids! "Love you Daddy" 😂 They'll be bigger than him in no time. This is what family looks like. Don't matter who's in it, they're in it together. As long as there's love, that all kids need. And now Dad has a ton of love from everyone who helped, to reward him for his kindness and generosity. Sweet! So heartwarming! ☺️☺️☺️

Man, I have chills from the intro. Total hero

WOW.. Hello from South Australia, You guys are absolutely angels sent from up above to help this gorgeous family, It made me cry, laugh, happy tears... Not every hero wears a cape, I just want to thank you all for what you have done... & Stephen is 1 amazing beautiful man, kindest soul & heart.. He is truly blessed... Thank you guys for making his house into a home. There is so much love in every room...

So humble. It is great to see Stevens reaction. Dont worry Steven your beloved late family know how great you have turned out. I hope your selfless adopting of those boys will give them a new start with you as an example to follow. Best Wishes I would also like to send a shout out to all the other fire fighting, rescue and paramedic teams who daily put their lives at risk helping to save other people and even animals, especially in this time of global natural disasters. Thanks Guys and Dolls.

what a wonderful man and a lovely family. The home is a beautiful thing I hope their good luck continues

They came bursting out....they knew whats coming after that call....❤

God bless this family

It struck me seeing how humble, almost abashed, Stephen was whenever he was called a hero.

This is amazing,I cried throughout the video.This is an amazing Dad.May you be blessed.

I totally agree he deserves this look at this man's face and his demeanor there is no selfishness

I think the best thing about this is the impact it will have on the kids . Obviously the adopted have been through some rough times , this will really change the way they see the world as being a bad place to a place where people aren’t so mean and that they have something to live for ,and also they’ll try harder in school and in life in general .

That house is amazing. Love how he said he wants to shake hands and say thank you that's all I can give.. Humble as fuck after he's given his life to give 5 others a life. 2 of what ain't his own. And risked his life to save a stranger. His dad's would be proud am fucking proud of him and I live 6000 miles away. Enjoy your home your life and your kids sir.

Ty always builds beautiful homes

He is a legend a true hero so he n is family is blessed with such a beautiful home. God bless all who helped them n all with good health happiness n loooooooooong life
