This is insane because Daddy Kwan actually looked really really healthy for his age. My deepest condolences Bart and will keep you in my prayers!
It was a suicide so I would suspect the issue was mental
It was a suicide :(
@@odee126 are you sure and where’d you see it was?
@@sarahrose90 they say it in this podcast and in the previous one
@@odee126 yeah i figured it would be tough when the only person who can fully communicate with him was bart, geo and taika would never have the capability
When I saw the title my jaw dropped, weirdly enough I could hear bart talking to his dad and like seeing their relationship as far away as a person I am, watching their relationship change as taika grows was really beautiful. This was really sad to hear, but this video was an amazing way to remember him. Rest in peace baba.
I love how much Geo made the conversation about Bart, his dad and their own story. Yet she was so emotionally there as well. She is such a great wife.
RIP Papa Kwan
Stay Strong Bart and Geo, you will always have my support.
RIP you dad, the father of MMA.
Barts dad pushed everything else in life aside to focus on giving him the best shot at life. his commitment was next level
As someone who's been suicidal, what kept me from going was thinking about leaving my dad behind with nothing. I told myself before I go, to at least make sure my dad was set. I'm no longer suicidal, but hearing all this about your dad, maybe seeing that you've accomplished so much in your life, he felt like it was okay to finally go. So in a twisted way, it's almost like he was set free. Considering all the pain, the guilt, even, that he had to bear throughout his life.
Having a similar relationship with my asian dad, your upbringing really resonates with me. Hearing you talk about him, and seeing how you've transformed that relationship, is really inspiring. Definitely taking a page out of your book. Thank you for sharing this, and everything you have shared over the years. This episode brought me to tears. I hope I can make my dad just as proud as you've made yours. Sending all the love.
I can relate. glad youre still here !!💕 hang in there, you can do it 🙂
"when you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is back up"
I needed to hear this bro. Thank you for sharing your story.
May he rest in peace 😢 you can tell Geo’s pain when she started tearing up. She was also close to him and this is hard on her as well. As for Bart, if you are reading this, your strength and wisdom is such an inspiration. He may not have been the best dad out there, but he raised a smart dude and a strong one. Taika will one day look back and see your strength and admire you for it
And yet they monetized his death
As somebody who is an Asian American who recently lost a family member, this hits particularly close to home. Mental health is rarely spoken about in our community. Asian immigrant parents fight for their own lives for their children to have financial security. However, emotional and mental security are often left are the back burner.
You two are so brave and sharing your story. It takes much vulnerability and courage. This story has brought me a lot of hope and understanding towards my own experience. Thank you for sharing your light!
My stomach dropped reading the title, thank you for allowing us to be apart of the last chapter in his story and for sharing it once his life’s book came to a close. Parting is never easy regardless of the circumstances and I wish your family nothing but peace, togetherness, and warmth during this time. Despite how he may have made his exit-from the moments you’ve shared with us-I can see how relieved he was knowing that you were doing okay as a man, son, husband, and father; I imagine he felt reassured seeing your own family so full of happiness. To Bart, well done. Despite your differences, you are a good son.
You guys are within my thoughts tonight.
Watch their last podcast
@@namastehindustan9879 what's the name of the last podcast please? So sad to hear that Barts father passed away. Sending love and comforting condolences prayers to them and their family and friends. Gods Blessings. 💔😭💗🙏🏻🕊❤⚘
@@laurapoynter2970 it is called "roughest month of our lives" ep 48
Losing family members is extremely hard, but I believe we will all meet again someday. So this is just a temporary goodbye , finish your time on this earth and reunite in the afterlife
I thought I was good up until the last few minutes of the episode and then Bart had to go and read what was written by his dad….ughhh the tears were immediate. Sending so much love to you and your family again during this hard time. ❤❤
Agree I starting crying too
Man I don't follow anyone from JK anymore, but this really fkn hit me.
I hope everyone takes care of themselves and leans on those close to them
Bart’s dad sounds like such a hard working person, cried a little listening to this. Really made man look back at all the things my Asian dad is doing for me
This is crazy… Bart is so emotionally strong. I don’t know how he could tell his dad’s story and not cry. I am crying 😢
This was a really beautiful podcast. As sad as the circumstances may be, hearing about your dad and his life is inspiring. All the things that he endured and accomplished. Your papa was a good man. Even with flaws, he still mended you guys relationship because he wanted to become a good father. Hearing about him researching child psychology and telling you about it when you were a child is amazing. Reflecting back on it as an adult with a child puts it all into perspective. Him telling you never to spank your own child makes me want to cry. He realized the regrets he had and he never wants you to have the same regrets. The bond him and taika had was so very special. When your parents become grandparents is such an amazing thing. The way grandparents love your child is beyond explanation. I feel he is looking over taika always and he will be there for every milestone and accomplishment he has. He will be proud of him just as he was proud of you Bart. I have never seen a father give their son a personally made trophy. That’s how proud of you he was. He thought you deserved something for all the things you’ve did.
Your dad seemed quite content and happy in your video content. Sorry to hear about his passing. You were always honest about how he struggled with english and felt uneasy in places where there were no Chinese people around. Mental health issues are often swept under the rug in the asian community. Like the classic immigrant story, your dad worked hard (physical and mental toil in restaurants) and made alot of sacrifices. May he rest in peace.
1:21:17 Geo is the voice of reason because I can't imagine how much it hurts to lose someone close to suicide. I appreciate get words from here about how it's not really about us and that we may never know what struggles 5th uncle had within, physical or mental. My heart goes out to your loss, Kwan family.
You're an amazing son Bart. Don't ever question that.
Fav memories of Bart's dad was his joy when they gave him the note in the box telling him he was going to be a grandpa, and how he laughed and said even if they hadn't told him he had guessed. And him meeting Taika for the first time in the hospital.
RIP Papa Kwan. Man, sorry for your loss Bart. I’m sure you made him proud with everything you have accomplished and bringing him a grandson.
I cried listening to Bart's memories of his dad. Makes me feel like I should contact my esrranged dad. My deepest condolences to you and your family, Bart.
Hey Bart, I don't know if you read the comments, but I've been watching you since I was a kid since Uncle Sam + Uncle Chin, now I'm 28, and I am so happy where you are currently in life with your business endeavors and family life. I never left a comment before, but just been a long time follower. My dad passed away March '21 in such a short time frame of 10 days from COVID, and we never truly got the full closure we wanted due to the hopes of a recovery, but it only got worse and worse each passing day. It definitely gets easier with time, but it still sucks. Keep your chin up, love you guys.
Been a long time fan too. I remember watching Bart when he was in his apartment and talking about when he was in the military. Watching the chapters in your life is very eye opening and I feel like a distant family. So my deepest condolences. I’ll hav e to talk about this when I see my therapist. Love
It saddened me to see the title. I’m sorry! But listening to how he was so committed to you through all the drama with his own divorce. I’m glad you were able to honor him this way. He’ll be with you always, look for the signs.
Oh no! I remember him saying, “I can’t wait to see Taika as a grandpa and how you told him that that was impossible because that would be like another 70 years).
I’m so glad that Taika has these videos to remember his Grandpa with. I’m so sorry Kwan family.
I gasped and told my husband. We have been watching your family and we loved your dad. We offer our deep condolences. We love you guys and have grown so attached to you family.
Thank you guys for sharing your family with us. I am truly in shock and literally burst into tears. We grow so close to you guys over this screen and I just thank you for continuing to be here through everything your going through. Sending you and your family good energy❤
This had me tearing, and thinking about my dad who has also passed not so long ago. So happy that you shared his story to the world, his story deserved to be told, the many unsung heroes of immigrant fathers. May he rest in peace.
Much love from an old school Fan ❤
Sorry to hear about your loss.
you guys kept it sooo light for the first hour. then when I heard how you guys lost him, that hurt deeply. I hope he rests in all the love that you guys continue to live on with him in your hearts.
The montage at the end im sobbing i cant even see geo face cause i can feel her emotions for bart and barts voice this was so heartfelt im so sorry for ur loss bart.
That montage destroyed me
Same!
I was catching up and watched the last pod last night and man I cried. Is it weird I feel like we lost a dad in barts dad? Like we’ve been there hearing the stories and memories. Man I’m sorry for your loss
RIP Papa Kwan. Thoughts and prayer to you Bart and your family 😢💜
I’m so sorry Bart!!!! He may have had his ways but he was a unique part of your family. May he Rest In Peace!
Thank you for this. I needed to hear all of this. I moved back in with my parents. I’m a single mom to an autistic 3 year old. My dad and I constantly bump heads because he’s super old school. He currently has stage 4 cancer and this was eye opening to realize he won’t be here forever. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I watched the podcast from beginning to end and wow... it was an eye opener. After listening to Bart's experiences with his Dad, it really made me reflect about my relationship with my parents. Moving forward, I should be even more grateful to my parents. Rest in Peace Papa Kwan.
I started choking up when you brought out the trophy😭 I’m so proud of both of you for being aware and working in healing generational trama!🥺❤️
We love you Bart. Your dad will forever be in our hearts and memories. So he will never truly die ❤️
You two carry the couple vibes that I look forward to my own couple life. Love your dads. Love you guys.
I am so sorry for your loss, I remember watching Bart as Uncle Sam and thought you were so hilarious. I came across this video and I read the title and couldn't help but watch. My father passed away in April 2021 from a stroke. It was the hardest thing to deal with. I became depressed, I rekindled with my Dad again after not talking to him for 5 years... Within the same year I had a baby that he never got to meet. I still think about it til this day that he never will. Grieving comes in waves for me, one day I am okay and the next I am sobbing, it does get a better within time but its harder around the holidays without him. I hope you take all the time you need to celebrate his life. Rest in peace Pops
This was a beautiful tribute to your Dad, Bart. You have joked about your parents in previous episodes, but this showed how deeply he cared for you and how hard he tried, despite his flaws. And don't we all have them. He really loved you. My heart goes out to you and your family. Big hugs
Geo got me in the end. I was so sad to hear of the loss of your father Bart, but you've done a beautiful job remembering him. You guys both open your life up and share so much. We're strangers lol, but I'm glad I got to watch him through out the years. Thanks for sharing his journey through your perspective. Your uncle had such a powerful message and I hope it continues to bring you peace.
my take away is that honestly a parent can redeem themselves later on in life. maybe your direct relationship isnt quite fixed and great but the way your father was a great grandpa and really cared for taika enough to verbalise not to make the same mistakes he did, is enough to prove time heals and time can allow forgiveness. thoughts and prayers with you and youre family ❤
i couldn't hold back my tears when bart was reading the plaque. 😔this was truly beautiful about "life." thank you for sharing. what a perfect day for me to watch this on the day of giving thanks. we all have so much to be grateful and thankful for. no one's family is perfect and we all face adversities. sending my condolences to you! sending tight hugs!🤗🕊💐
I love how you can see how hurt bart is but he’s constantly cracking jokes to keep it flowing. He’s definitely a different breed! 💪 rest in peace to your pops.
I'm so sorry for your loss Bart. I just want you to know your father seemed so proud of you. You took great care of him and gave him a grandson who he loved so dearly, may rest in eternal peace
Moved out here to vegas during the pandemic. Me and my brother brought our mom and dad with us. Earlier this year he suddenly passed away in his room with the three of us with him. Glad to have been able to get closer to him these past few years. I feel for you man, lets make pops proud and continue the legacy.
My grandma passed away at 52 from suicide and I would always think what I could have done more to keep her here longer until someone told me dont u think it was because of you that she held on that long.. I pray for you, geo, and taika.. sending so much love
What part of the podcast did they say it was suicide.
I’m also so sorry that happened to you Nicole
@@AmethystEyes on the last podcast before this one.. I think its titled our hardest month or something like that
Yeah but what time in the podcast
Omg I still remember how y’all were building the house for him🥺 my condolences to your family❤️
This is so sudden. I still remember listening to JKNews and Bart always talk about his dad about moving to Vegas situations and everything.
Im in disbelief, the title made my stomach drop. May Papa Kwan rest in peace. My deepest condolences. I lost my mom in 2016, nothing compares to losing a parent. Im so so sorry, sending you strength and love, take all the time you need❤
Rip Papa Kwan, suicide is incredibly tragic. Mental health is so incredibly tough to take care of. God bless everyone struggling, I hope we all make it out better.
It was suicide?
What part of the podcast do they say it was suicide?
@@AmethystEyes 1:18:50
@@AmethystEyes check the previous podcast.
I don't believe in a god, but mental health really is an issue. I think society is causing alot of it. Look at native americans and the mental health they had to go through before this became a thing with everyone else. They had to ride through it without any professional help for a long long time
my stomach dropped when i read the title to this, rest in peace papa kwan
Im so sorry for your loss :( man you guys are such troopers please don’t hide the pain and sometimes helps to lean on others. Praying for you guys and wishing health for your guys future 🙏🏼
This episode is so beautiful. I've been crying for 1hr. I hope that Bart knows that his Dad and Mom love him so much, they just have a different way of showing it. Papa Kwan and Mama Kwan you guys raised such an amazing son. Even just by seeing all of Bart's accomplishments online, I know that they are proud of Bart. As a long-time viewer, Papa Kwan you will always be remembered.
Been watching for a long time, never commented.
Thank you for allowing us to get to know your dad through the vlogs throughout these years. Despite never having met him, it feels like he's been an uncle in my life. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences for Bart, may Mr. Kwan soul rest in peace. Another thing, I adore the way Geo responses to Bart at 23:10 ❤️ and all of us here glad you’re here, Bart!
couldn’t believe it when i saw the title. My condolences Bart. May he rest in peace. ❤
You demonstrated incredible strength when sharing the story of your Dad. My condolences.
Oh Bart so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent sucks… you don’t get over it but learn to live with it. My condolences to you and your family.
Bart this video was truly touching and beautifully said. Your dad sounded like an amazing human being who did everything in his power to have a better life. I’m so happy that he was able to see how all of his sacrifices were worth it. You were a great son to him and now you’re a great dad to Taika. Love you guys. ❤
He killed himself, so he was obviously lonely and felt he had no other reason to live. Having a grandson and possibly getting to live a better life was not enough. We don’t know enough why he did what he did. Hopefully Bart, Bart’s mom, and Geo can take their time to support each other as well as Taika. Suicide is tough.
@@taoist32 ???? tf is this comment bro
@@gabyreyes8378 ? its true did u listen tothe whole podcast?
@@kevinnguyen290 I did listen to the whole podcast but leaving an insensitive comment like that is fucked up and no one has any right to be leaving it there especially when Bart himself may see it, like his dad lived a good and happy life but mental health is hard so yeah a big fuck you to all you negative people.
I laughed and cried at the stories…truly unreal. I guess it’s part of life and realization we’re all getting older and so are our parents. That’s tough because I still feel like a little girl inside even though I have a family of my own. You’ll never be ready to loose a parent
Bart has so much love in his heart because of Papa Kwan. He saw that his job was done and that is what he lived his life for. RIP.
My dad passed away in march due to cancer, bart whether you believe or not my prayers are with you.
RIP 2 your dad. 🙏 I'm sorry, my condolences. Bart.
He seemed like an amazing person, the way he always cared about and played with Taika in what I've seen from the videos. His attitude always seemed positive, and it was clear he was extremely proud of you and loved you dearly Bart. The world definitely lost a great person.
Thank you for sharing such a personal story about your Father. I am truly sorry for your lost. Although my parent's annoys me so much, I know they love me and I want to love them as-well. Thank you for reminding me of that!
You can tell how much Bart's dad loves Taika in those beautiful pictures. I am deeply sorry and my condolences to all the Kwan family.
I am so, so sorry for your loss. You've inspired to me to ask my parents for their stories on how they immigrated to America and what their love story is like. The custom trophy absolutely got me.
Your Dad is an amazing man and loved you guys...definitely keeping you all in my prayers 🙏
But who was there for him when he needed emotional support?
Sad
I havent watched this channel in a long time, but seeing this title!? I cant believe it. I'm sorry for your loss Bart. Losing a family member isn't easy. I just lost my step mom a couple months ago, (me also being her care taker) I felt like I failed.
I feel like he knew his time was coming thats why he wanted to get back with your mom. My step mom kinda did the same with me, I needed a job and she kept pushing me to go get a job, and as soon as I got a job, she passed away. Its almost like she knew it was her time. Not to take away from your situation. Sending my prayers and condolences.
I'm so sorry Bart, your family has gone through a lot. Sending you guys love and hugs.
i'm so sorry bart for your loss. Your dad and my mom are resting in heavenly peace. My mom lost her battle to pancreatic cancer at the end of October. My heart is with you and your family during this time.
Sorry for your loss and RIP to your dad.
He's gone, but I'm sure his memories will always bring you happiness.
I lost my grandma last year, it's sad she's gone, but I'm glad that she's in a better place now ❤
This is a reminder that our time here is limited and to appreciate our friends and family while we can.
Go hug your moms and dads guys
Keeping you guys in my thoughts. My condolences to your beautiful family Bart and Geo ❤
Love you Bart! Sorry for your loss. I don’t know you personally (I’m just a viewer) but you’ve been so strong you’re whole life, take some time for yourself to cry, scream, punch, kick and mourn for your pops. Get it out of you and come back stronger.
Awww nooo….deepest condolences to you and the Family. It’s crazy that most of the people here are just fans but feel like we’re family following your journey for so many years. 🙏🏼
Damn I’m over here choking up. Rest in peace papa Kwan. My condolences to the whole family ❤
What a bittersweet podcast. While the circumstances of your fathers passing are unfortunate, in his last year with you, I am certain you made him SO proud and confident that you would be well off upon his departure. Geo thank you for clarifying how it’s not always about the people around them that drive them to commit rash decisions. I also lost it when the plaque was read off. May grandpa kwan rest in peace.
My condolences, Bart. I loved watching your dad pop up in your videos over the years. Thank you for sharing those memories with us 🙏🏾
So sorry Bart we have heard so much stories of your dad. I hope you and you guys are healing well. I'll keep you in my prayer.
RIP papa kwan. I know its a hard time losing a family member and its so brave to even share this type of informstion to the public. But I thank you Bart for sharing the thoughtful stories as it really connects with me. Weirdly and funny enough, some of the scenarios that he mentioned with his dad going through the struggles and still making time for his kid really hit close to home. It makes me realize my dad is doing the same. And having such a strong individual like bart to speak on it, as I have been watching them for the past years, really hits close to home. Again, thank you guys for sharing this about Papa Kwan, and I hope your family heals in amazing ways with his loss 🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing these memories with us. I have been watching you guys since you and geo announced you were together. And then years had gone by but today I saw your video and watched the whole thing. As a child with a immigrant parent with trauma, its a different way of life when you begin to understand them and realize they were just doing their best. Thank you again for sharing this and wishing you all the best ❤
This is so sad! Bart was just talking about his dad living with his mom and then wanting to leave. Omg…. Bart I’m so sorry to hear this tragic news!
Like everyone in the comments, I was so shocked to read this title. Sending so much love to you guys - thanks for sharing all of this with us
This felt like a much needed therapy session. My heart goes out to Bart & Geo and their family.
I can't believe your papa passed away bart😭😭😭my condolence to you and your family stay strong Bart 🙏 and I will have you in my prayers ..papa will be missed 🙏🕊R.I.P papa kwan
RIP to your father . All the stories really made me think of my own father often😢 take all the time you need off you’ll still have my support
Thanks for letting get to know your dad! Even though Bart didn’t have the greatest relationship with his parents.
Condolences to the Kwan Family!
wait what? oh no. sending condolences. this is a surprise because i was so invested on bart talking about his parents decided to moving in the same house...
sorry to hear about this. may you guys find comfort in this trying, hard, sad times...❤
Omg!! So sorry to hear that Kwan family!! Big hugs to the family. He was loved so much! The home you are building for him.Rip papa Kwan😥😭
I’m sorry Bart. Losing a parent makes it feel like the fabric of space and matter has changed. You’re starting a new phase of life in a way but there’s lots of ways to honour our ancestors ❤
Hi Bart, sorry for your loss. My condolences. I lost my father when I was 8.
How glorious that you know this much about your family history Bart. And that you made this for Taika, so he has something to look back apon and know and feel that he has a place in the world. Who he is and where he comes from. What a gift for everyone. Maybe he fought with your mom because he didn't agree how she raised/treated you. Just a thought, I have no place or knowledge or right to say anything. I am so very, very sorry for your familys loss, for your and Taikas loss. We love you and always will🌹
RIP Papa Kwan, my dad and mom both came over from China and Vietnam during the same time so your dad's story really resonates with me. He's in a better place now looking over You, Geo, Taika & your mom. Great way to set things in a positive light and commemorating his life.
Rest in peace. He left a legacy that we all can share and enjoy. Thank you..
I literally just finished the other podcast, learning about what’s been happening and then this one comes.. y’all two are the strongest people (mentally, physically hehe, emotionally) that I’ve seen. Much love ❤️
RIP Papa Kwan 🥺 Sending you all so much love and my condolences ❤️❤️
This was beautiful, thank you guys especially Bart for sharing this whole story about your dad. What a great man he was, and i can see where you got your dedication and hard work from. This is why i admire you 🙏🏽 I hope everyone is doing okay and your dad is resting in eternal peace ❤️
The more I hear about him, the more I realize he was a real one. They don't make em like that no more. 😔
I tried not to cry being very emotional losing my mom this year n Bart got me in the last few minutes gots me balling here wit Geo..Rest in peace Daddy Kwan rest easy sir. No more pain
My condolences Bart. Im sure he was enormously proud of the man youve become and the life you've built.
And Gia, really love the supportive partner you are.
Love and light to you both.
sorry to hear Bart. Bart somebody i always looked up to be , he had everythin i imagine myself having even same life experiences and mindset/mentality. Knowing he raised a good son like Bart i even see as inspiration. Condolences to your fam Bart, head up bro your dad proud of you no matter what and the father you became too for Taika. 🙏 stay inspiring and motivating cus you for sure gave me push thru times in life ❤💯
Bart dad is the dude. Sound to me he is the goat! Respect. See you again man!
So much respect for Bart sharing these details of his life. Both you and Geo are truly some of my favorite people to listen to.
