- We visit the grave of Dan Blocker. I say several times that Dan was 48 when he passed away. He was actually 43.. My own father was 48so I guess that was stuck in my brain. Sorry. Paula the Pyrenees meets horses for the first time. Dan played Hoss Cartwright on the television show Bonanza, and was also a Purple Heart recipient in the Korean War. Join us at Woodmen Cemetery in DeKalb Texas as we pay respects to an actor with a heart as big as he was. I mistakenly called Dirk Blocker Dan's brother. He is Dan's son. Sorry for any confusion. 0014
I am 54 and used to watch Bonanza when i was a kid. Now i am watching again and again as many episodes i can. Hoss was such a kind man. So big, so humble and so heartfuld. I was very sad when i learnt that he died so young. I will keep on watching Bonanza. It makes my heart happy. Thanks for your video. Greetings from Uruguay, South America
Thank you so much for watching!
I mistakenly called Dirk Dan's Brother. He is actually his son. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks everyone for watching. I really enjoy making these videos for you, and hope they inspire others to get out and explore the world! Also: we cleaned up the UNO cards. I couldn't leave them laying there.

Me fascinan esas películas de Bonanza.
Thank you for sharing this video about Dan Blocker. I loved watching him on the show Bonanza. He was my favorite on the show. He passed away after he developed a blood clot in his lungs, after gallbladder surgery. When I grew up I wanted to marry a man like Dan Blocker and John Wayne mixed. I found that type of man. He passed away a couple of months before our wedding from cancer on the brain. And yes, the good die young.
Thank you. So sorry to hear about your fiancé.
I got to meet the cast of Bonansas at a rodeo in South Texas. Great guys, I got to shake theirs. Dan Blocker was a very big man!
I've be revisiting Bonanza now every evening for about the last 6 months, I LOVE the show, can't live without it! Thankyou for sharing, I always wondered what happened to him. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome. I’m still upset with myself for getting his age wrong.
Hoss is a Star he was then an he is now. He shine's Bright in the Heaven's.
May you rest in peace.
Love you man an God does to.
Thanks for this from Germany :) I love Bonanza since i was a child
Thank you! My mother was from Niebull!
Thanks for the lovely and touching video. Don't worry about dates etc. The important thing is that you took the time to honour a man we all loved, through the character he played so well.
Thank you so much.
He was 43 years when he died, thanks for this it's the first time I got to visit Hoss.
You’re right. My dad was 48 and for some reason it stuck in my head that Dan was t close to the same age.
@@RamblinTed All good!!! He was so big so he appeared older than he actually was, by the way I enjoyed the horses in the video, the friendly one who came to say hello to you. 👍🏿
Dan Blocker was a great actor. And a great human been. May God bless his soul..
Hi,! Hello! Sir, thank you so much for Showing actor DAN BLOCKER , I am very mu c h appreciating to your effort for let knows the peoples in this world, 👍 👍 good luck and " GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS, 🎉🎉🎉
I loved him so much. Thank you for this wonderful video.
Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this video 🤗, am a fan of Bonanza. Thank you for leaving that penny. It surprises me seeing his grave, buried with his parents. Enjoyed this so much, please keep your videos coming. ❤️
Thank you for watching. And thanks for the kind words: I really needed them today.
Thankyou for your video I also grew up watching the show! When my brother and I were little we would see the show then go to sleep! May he Rest In Peace!
Thanks for watching!
I loved Bonanza and loved Hoss and the entire family...I got a little upset with Pernell Roberts for the reasons he left, but I guess they do what they do...As far as I know, the show has always been called Bonanza...I just watched all the series and episodes...They never used the drowning scenario, but they never told what happened to him..The last season (14) was just awful without him...There was no way Bonanza could survive and it didn't .....Mr. Blocker ended up having to have his gall bladder removed. They say he done well and was in recovery cutting up with the staff, when suddenly he died, and it was from just as you stated..It broke my heart...Loved that show...thank you for sharing...
He was actually recuperating at home when he had complications which sent him back to the hospital. He came home too early, he wanted to be home otherwise he might have had more exercise/therapy and prevented blood clots or at least been treated sooner for them. His weight was a contributing factor, he was advised to lose weight by his doctor, and he did, but not as much as he should have and it was a contributing factor.
❤️ Bonanza & Hoss
Thanks Ted From CHILE 🇨🇱 Hoss Forever.... God Bless You Country Ted U.S.A. Bonanza Ponderosa Ranch....
Casi todos los dias veo un capitulo de bonanza mi serie faborita me ubiese gustado vivir en esa epoca , saludos desde Ecuador🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨

Συμφωνώ φίλη μου πολύ αδιαφορία για τους νεκρούς
Es texas, las sequías son periódicas igual que en nevada
That made me cry to hear you fought over who got to play Hoss Cartwright...tfs!
👍l Love you Hoss👍
Obrigada Sr Tem pelo vídeo. Conheci esse seriado Bonanza na pandemia. De lá para cá assisto o seriado Bonanza e aprendi a gostar dos atores. Nasci em 66 e quando ele morreu eu tinha 6 anos e não passava o seriado Bonanza no Brasil. Sinto muita pena por isso.
Horses next to his resting place...how fitting. 💖
Dan Blocker was one of my most loved male figures I didn't have a father Vietnam took care of that, Hoss had a way of making you love him, I will always love Dan, and be thankful that he was there, for millions of kids ❤
Dan was my favorite on Bonanza I wanted to be strong like him.
I've been watching the reruns of the show for the last couple of months now after not seeing it for so many years when I was growing up myself and I don't even remember all the reruns except when I seen just a couple nights ago but thank you for sharing that video. I'm 60 years old and that brought tears my eyes Dan Blocker was a good man. He will always be remembered and missed. again thank you for sharing that may he rest in peace.
Thank you for this surprising video. I watch Bonanza for a few months now, right from the beginning to s10e14, still watching.
Next time, bring some apples for the horses.
Good idea about the apples! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Hugs from Brazil.
Debería de estar más. Cuidada su tumba. Un GRAN ACTOR. HOSS
Nice video my friend, it's good to have people who remember...my other favorite cowboy was Doug McClure, of the Virginian. Like you, I don't feel old at all and I'm 66 👊👍✌🏼
QUANDO, EU ERA CRIANÇA, ASSISTIA MUITO BONANZA NOS ANOS 60. TINHA UNS 9, 10,11, 12 ANOS, ASSISTIA BONANZA, E ROSS, TRAZIA NO SEU PERSONAGEM COMO TAMBÉM OS OUTROS, UMA MENSAGEM DE UM HOMENS EDUCADOS, SEGUROS RESPEITADORES... ROSS, É O PERSONAGEM QUE MAIS MECHEU NA MINHA FORMAÇÃO NO MEU CARÁTER TAMBÉM. ESSA FAMÍLIA DA BONANZA, FORMARAM HOMENS DE CARÁTER E HOMENS CONSCIENTES .
Iam 48. I allways have loved bananza. An allways well. Hos was an is the heart of that show
My home. My parents are buried at Woodmen along with relatives and friends.
Yes he was a nice guy and the reason I watched the show
Thank you for your reply 😊☺️
I liked him a lot. I want a husband like his character on bonanza was 🕊️
I live 40 miles away in Haworth Oklahoma...I am going to see his grave site this coming week! 2022
That’s awesome! Enjoy your trip. DeKalb is a neat little town. Eat at Front Street Junction while you’re there.
Thanks for this beautiful report. My dad loves Bonanza. And you look younger. I from Puerto Rico
Thanks for watching! And for the compliment!
Dan was only 43 although wikipedia would say 44...he wasn't 48.
He was 43 and in his 44th year but still had 7 months to go to 44
so yeah he died young. 1928 to 1972 = 44 although at time of death only 5 months past 43.
Who wouldn't love Hoss wasn't he adoreable.
43 yrs old 5 months and 3 day
@@johnpolczynski7984.... I miss him when I see Bonanza. His poor kids at the time.
I watch the show every day. Is good memories
I am sure that I read somewhere that he was quite an accomplished football player while in school and that he also went on to become a college lecturer before appearing in Bonanza.
I think you’re right.
Thanks Ramblin/nice video Awesome.
You are most welcome!
My dad knew Dan as a young teenager in O Donald TX. Blocker 's had a small grocery. My dad and his brothers were amazed how a 12 year old boy could carry a 100 lb sack of potatoes on his shoulders out the store to deposit the sack in their buck-board wagon. My uncle worked weekends with the Blocker grocery. He said Dan was bookish intellect type of person. In fact my uncle told us that he helped Dan learn a little boxing to ward off a few of his bullies because Blocker did not have an aggressive personality. My aunt who attended high school with him said the cowboy image did not fit his soft personalty. Here in South West Texas I know a small business owner who shined shoes in O Donald. Dan would stop by his stand across the street from the Blocker grocery before and after the Hollywood fame. Joe commented that the actor was unchanged by the success: friendly, out going, and left a good tip.
Everyone I’ve met who knew him says the same. They say he was the same guy after he got famous as he was before. So cool that your dad knew him!
I absolutely LOVE Mr Hoss 💞💞
I love the show Bonanza but I'm writing this in remembrance of my brother Raymond "hoss"courtright could have been his dam double a big man with a size 16 foot I miss him dearly he was a gentle giant and missed by all who knew him
Ay sentí sentimientos encontrados, tristeza y alegría al saber dónde está Joss, muchas gracias. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
No es casual que Dan interpretara al personaje "Hoss", en la vida real también era valiente y tenía un gran corazón
Thank you very much for this video. It was great seeing that the remained a simple man even unto death.
Thanks for the tour...
I loved hoss still do
My family is from Dekalb, Tx. I knew and was in his home that he died.
My family is from De Kalb too. That’s my home town.
The Ponderosa and Bonaza steakhouses were separate companies. He did a good movie with Frank Sinatra in the "Tony Rome" series!
D E P HOSS SIEMPRE LO REVORDARRMOS.
this was great! thnk u for this!
Love Bonanza but I can't seem to watch that last season because of knowing Hoss died just before that season and wouldn't be in it. RIP Dan Blocker aka Hoss 🙏🏼
Pretty history that you just revealed to us about hoss
¡Saludos desde México!
My uncle was 45. He provided jobs, expensive cars, house to his younger brother, brothers wife, that wife’s brother and they all stole from him. After he died they abandoned his ashes! But before that he changed his will as he knew they wanted only money from him and left them little money! He had no children.
????
Blocker was 43 when he passed. I watch the Chevy truck commercial he did in his early career. You can put your brand on that.
Clarification on Dan Blocker passing - May 13, 1972, Blocker died in Los Angeles, at age 43, of a pulmonary embolism following gallbladder surgery at Daniel Freeman hospital. A news item provides these specifics: "Blocker went into the hospital for gall bladder surgery, developed a blood clot in his lung, and died".
Born: Bobby Dan Davis Blocker; December 10, 1928; De Kalb, Texas, U.S
Died: May 13, 1972 (aged 43); Los Angeles, California, U.S
Spouse: Dolphia Parker Blocker (m. 1952)
Years active: 1955-1972
Thanks,love u man.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this, I enjoyed reading comic strips of Bonanza as a child. But I still watched the old episodes here on CZcams
I'm glad you caught that and because you have me all confused
I stay confused. My father passed at 48 and I guess that was stuck in my mind. Dan was 43.
Shared to my Facebook and the Live Dive lounge Facebook
Thanks!
Que pena son un icono.
Loved watching bonanza
Thanks from Brazil!!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching.
He was my favorite it made that show
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this
You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching
He was barely 44 not 48 , Call also did you know he moved to Switzerland in protest of the Vietnam war
Wow. Rip dan. God. Hold u in his arms
BUENOS ACTORES Y PADRE
Yes In covid I'm watching Bonanza almost every day with good values . A good family somewhat seems few and far between today with crazy anti society beliefs.
According to his grave stone, he was 43 1/2 not 48 as you said.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Dan Blocker was 43 years old when he passed away not 47 or 48
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Mr Blocker a math teacher before he was discovered, and still taught in the off seasons of Bonanza? I want to thank you for video sir.
I’m not sure, he did a lot of different things in his 43 years, that’s for sure.
Actually,, he was an English and Drama teacher in Texas, a 6th grade teacher and coach in N. Mexico and then a short career as teacher in California. He did not teach in the off seasons of Bonanza, he made enough money to not have to do that. He also went in his off time to Switzerland where he enrolled his kids in school for a different cultural experience.
I loved Hoss
MUY ABANDONADO ESE CEMENTERIO LAMENTABLE PARA TAN DIGNO ACTOR
Soy fanática, de la serie Bonanza, pero si hacen un video resumido de la biografía de uno de sus protagonistas, háganlo en idioma español, no todos tuvimos la posibilidad de estudiar inglés
AAre there not Spanish subtitles? If not I’ll work on that. Thanks.
Usa traductor
Is it the good die young or is really that the young die good .? Either way Dan blocker was a good man .
Did you know that Dan also was had a VW repair shop? Can you imagine those big hands working on a VW?
Didn’t know that. Can’t imagine him sitting in one! Thanks for telling me.
De Kalb is also where Ricky Nelson’s plane crashed
Que triste todo esto ...🙏..
👋🙏❤
They called it bananza they lived on the ponda rosa
Thank you very much for the video! I would not want to watch the TV episode where Hoss Cartwright died. He died at the age of 43, not 48.
Thanks. Yeah my math was off. My own father died at 48 so it was stuck in my head.
@@RamblinTed I am terribly sorry. 48 is still too young to die. I am 67 and my age seems too young.
According to the dates on his marker Dan was 44 years old when he passed away.
Yes you are right. Math has never been my strong suit.
He was 43 yrs at the time of death he had months to go before he reached 44. Depends on the month of birth if he died before he get to it even though the years says 44 he still would have died at 43 he didn't get to 44 he had months to go. 🤷
Thought he was 42 but way too young regardless! One of my favorites and am wondering if the Ponderosa steak house that I went to as a kid was what he was part owners of? Will be looking this up quickly to find out. I just mentioned that steak house to my mom a few weeks back!.
He was 42. I figured out after I made the video that my math was wrong.
@@RamblinTed he was 43 and in his 44th year much later.
He was part owner of it, he sold his rights later on. It was the steak house, bonanza. I went to it when I was young, wish they would bring it back.
RIP Dan
Ilike yuo serie sorry no speak ingles
Thank you!
Born in 1928 and passed away in 1972, right? So he was only 44 years old. Why do you think he was 48?
I’ve said this about 100 times on other comments: my father passed away at 48. That was stuck in my mind. Thanks for watching.
@@RamblinTed Thank you for responding me, sorry about my comment, I didn't read what other people wrote, but I liked your video very much. I'll watch other videos of yours. Best wishes
@@brunosergioporto8881 I really need to go back and put something in the video correcting myself, I just haven’t had time.
@@RamblinTed it's ok, not too bad. Thanks for your answer.
Wonderful video. Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks for watching!
😥😭😭
Anyone know if his wife Dolphia is still alive?
I don’t know.
היה שחקן מעולה ישראל תודה
He died at 43!!.....not 48!!
was it the saving a person drowning or the clots?
Dan died from a blood clot. The character of “Hoss” death was explained in Bonanza as having died saving a person who was drowning.
@@RamblinTed Oh, Thank you!! He was an amazing man and even as a young girl, watching Bonanza, while my sisters loved his brother (Michael Landon) - HOSS was always my favorite and reason for watching
Debería ser en español
He is in Mossalium
Why do you think that? I know people who attended his funeral, they all say he’s buried right there with his family.
@@RamblinTed well, I don't think nothing I know, I was there.
@@debraives4741 where is the Mausoleum?
Olympia, Washington, that's where I was born may 5th 1958, he was my Grandpa Pitypoo, he would always smile when I called him that. After he died. I could still hear the sound of him playing cards and walking with his steal crutches. I can still smell his cherry tobacco. He loved his family.
