'We weren't able to get him out quick enough.'

'The emotional factor alone will have a toll on the rescuers,' Sgt. Shortly after midnight a rescuer was able to get close enough to confirm the Stansbury Park man had died. Eldon Packer said Jones, 26, became unresponsive before midnight and had difficulty breathing several hours before. 'Thank you, and God bless all of you on this Thanksgiving Day.' But we find comfort knowing that he fulfilled his purpose here on Earth, and that we will be reunited with him again,' the family stated, adding thanks to many people and agencies that have helped them and Jones. 'We'll never fully understand how or why it was John's time to leave us. The family – including Jones' wife and daughter, parents, four brothers, two sisters and 16 nieces and nephews – said in the statement that they are grateful for the rescue efforts and know officials 'did all they could to get John out,' including singing Primary songs to help get him through the night. He leaves behind a wife and a baby daughter, and a second child expected in June.Īccording to a family statement released Thursday, Jones will be remembered for 'his good nature, delightful sense of humor, strong work ethic, a genuine love of people, a masterful ability to relate to children, a love of and unwavering faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and his commitment to his family as an amazing husband, father, son and brother.'

But I will stress again, this will haunt some of those who watch.ELBERTA, Utah County - Despite more than a full day of rescue efforts, John Edward Jones died around midnight Wednesday while trapped in a tight section of Nutty Putty Cave. There are many other harrowing stories of cavers around the world but, to my knowledge, this is the only full-length docudrama. Regardless if a person considers themselves a believer, we all long to know our loved one has found some solace and that they are not really lost. I found this aspect of the film to be very moving, personally. I think those who fear believers to the point they're compelled to constantly draw attention to their distain are the very people who need such trust & tranquility in their own lives. For those complaining there was a religious thread, this film wasn't designed to avoid personal triggers but to portray a man's touching journey. For me, watching those videos gave me some relief and a better understanding of what happened to John and even what kind of person would attempt such a challenge. Many viewers find their way to YT channels like TFIL or CBG, where seasoned spelunkers film their adventures and make it back out. But be warned: This film will stick to you.

Both Ryan & Susie became friends of the families. In the only detail I could find about Ryan it was said despite his cave & rescue expertise when he first saw John's predicament he had to hold back tears. The rescuer called Aaron in the film was actually Ryan Shurtz. I would definitely recommend watching this part-documentary/ part-drama & then do a search where you'll find things like a drawing depicting how John was positioned & the narrow access routes. The nimble 15 y/o was a regular caver who also brought with him the radio for a final goodbye to Emily, which never took place. It doesn't tell that the son of the cave-access manager was sent in to do the final crawl with a stethoscope. IE, it doesn't reveal they tried to dig rock away to make more room, that 2 rescuers got stuck, or that only 15 were qualified to actually go into that part of the cave. But it does leave a lot out, which can be found on the web. This is a beautiful retelling of who John was, what became of him, & some interesting ideas of what he might have experienced. But w/any art, you need to look for what the presentation is trying to convey, not what you think it should convey. Some reviews are unhappy with the way the film was done. Despite the horrific ordeal, there simply isn't the same level of suspense. Many call it similar to 127 Hours but it's more similar to Everest (Rob Hall), imo. However, I found that days after watching, this story still haunts me. Later, that extreme level of tension diminishes.

Those saying you shouldn't watch if you're claustrophobic weren't kidding it is very tense when John is scooching thru the narrow passage. All actors were believable, set was well-done w/great attention to detail. Kudos to Halasima for a beautifully done mosaic of John's life & ordeal. Chadwick Hopsin gave a stellar performance as John.
