Dog The Bounty Hunter Tearfully Reveals Wife Beth Chapman’s Last Words

“It’s terrible, the most terrible time in someone’s life,” Dog, 66, told Hawaii News Now. “You kind of try to remember that you’re celebrating life, but right now we’re mourning the death, so it’s not good.”

The reality star revealed that Beth’s last words were not about her, but about making sure the family she left behind would be okay.

“When she had an attack I didn’t know anything to do but to say ‘in Jesus’ name’ and hold her and when I said ‘in Jesus’ name’ she said, ‘Say it again, say it more,'” he remembered. “And then she told the girls and everybody, with her mouth — she came out of it a couple times — ‘I love you’ and ‘Are you guys all okay? Don’t worry,’ but she never accepted it.” Beth was placed in a medically-induced coma a few days before she passed.

The reality star explained that Beth made sure her presence would be felt after her death, with little notes left around the house. “Beth was somewhat of a control person — not from the grave but from heaven,” he said. “I’m sure she’s still controlling me and I’ve got notes in my pillowcases, on my sink, in my shaving thing. She’s still telling me what to wear.”

“Her way was to live. She wanted to live so bad and she fought so long, and the reason she fought, she liked life but she wanted to show people how to beat it and what to do when it got her,” he said about her.

“One of the last things she said [was] ‘It’s a test of my faith,'” he said. “She had faith and that was it. There’s things you go through when you’re dying, like steps like you do when you lose someone, right? You get mad at them, and then you go through all these steps.”

Even though the family knew her cancer prognosis was grim, he said it hasn’t made anything easier. “It came very unexpected, really fast,” he said. “All of her clothes were exactly where they were, her makeup, everything. We didn’t prepare.”

“It’s just incredible when you walk alone in the bedroom and you’re there and she was there two days ago,” he tearfully explained.

As the family begins to mourn, Dog said they’ve turned to religion for comfort. “I loved her so much,” he said. “As Lazarus lay, Jesus said he’s not dead, he’s sleepeth. My final words are Beth isn’t dead, she’s sleeping.”

“I hope to god there is a God. I trained myself [to think] ‘What would Jesus do?’ and I hope I’m not just talking to myself,” he said. “I hope there is a God and if there is, I’m gonna see my honey again. That’s all we can do is hope.”
