RIP: What Happened To STEVE FONYO?

Famous Graves. He ran across Canada on one leg for charity. But this hero's life took a dark turn. A visit to his lonely grave to pay our respects.

Thanks for this. From Steve's niece, Melody.

There are two movies, Hope and Hurt. He is a Canadian hero, and yes, he got into some troubles, but for him to be erased from Canada's History is Shameful.

Well said Kendrik. Thank you for remembering Steve.

Hi JCVC ☮️, I know about Terry Fox but can’t recall Steve Fonyo , I will look him up! Thanks ✌🏼

[@jcvancouver]

Thank you my peaceful friend.

[@christopherlussier4383]

Hey JCV...in my 50 + years we have had some great people to grace our home born an raised. In My Time the likes Of Terry, Steve and of course Rick... Steve had his problems as we all do but what he did in Canada's name and his cause.. well for me it is to be forgiven and yet celebrated ... Same as many peoples from our history to me have been forgiven (Begbie, McDonald) for if you forget the past then there is no future...Thank you for honouring Steve.

I haven't seen any of your videos in quite a few months. I haven't been getting any notifications in spite of the fact that I have the bell pushed.
Not the first time this has happened. I unsubscribe and then resubscribe and that usually fixes things.
I'm not the biggest Steve Fonyo fan. In my opinion he was his own worst enemy. Rest in peace though, Steve.

[@jcvancouver]

Thank you kindly Mo. I haven't been able to post for a while unfortunately. Now that I have I am very happy to hear from you.

Steve Fonyo and I used to be roommates in Vernon years ago.

[@420greatestqueen]

Thanks for your great content, as always 😊

[@jcvancouver]

Thank you kindly G. I always enjoy hearing from you.

[@batwithglasses]

Long time no vlog my friend, kinda had us worried.
A nice dity about Fonyo, but I must respectfullly disagree with the hero moniker for various reasons including armed robbery, domestic abuse/assault, DUI, drug trafficking and grand theft auto.
But honoring Terry Fox the way he did got my nod.
Glad to have you back👍☕

[@jcvancouver]

Thank you kindly my benevolent friend.

[@bfranklin3777]
