This story is absolutely amazing to read.

A dude in Arizona went dirt biking earlier this month, didn't come back home, and was reported missing a few days later.

The man appeared to have absolutely vanished from the earth.

From World Net Daily:

"We know he went out at 4 p.m. on Wednesday because of the security camera, but we were actually not aware he was going [out riding] when it happened," Alicia Rodriguez, who has a daughter with Villalobos, told KOLD-TV in Tucson.

"We only became aware that he had not returned from his bike ride on Friday," she said. "As soon as I heard that, that he hadn't come back from just a bike ride, I knew it wasn't good."

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Villalobos had crashed and fallen into a washed-out hole in a trail near Ina Road and Interstate 10, fracturing his spine. The hole was about 2 feet deep and 7 feet wide, and there he stayed for four days without food or water in the freezing cold.

Friends and family knew that he went riding, and knew the trails he frequented. There was a manhunt including helicopter searches trying to find this dude.

For 4 days he sat in that hole, spending three cold desert nights trapped.

Then an unlikely hero showed up out of the blue.

It was a homeless man, Coleman Durham, who lived in a nearby wash. For whatever reason, he had decided to take a different route to the local Circle K that day, and he stumbled upon the hole and spotted the green dirt bike and then Villalobos.

"I got off on one of the trails and was pedaling and pedaling. ... I see this ravine with a green bike down there," the 57-year-old Durham said. "I said something and [Villalobos] says, says something about help him, 'Help, help!'

"He said he couldn't feel his legs and I didn't want to mess up his back any worse. He could move just fine top side, but his legs didn't move around. Of course, I didn't have a phone. He asked me to call the police for him and please go get him an orange juice and some water."

Villalobos also offered his bike in exchange for help, but Durham refused and went to alert the staff at Circle K. They came back with him armed with a blanket, water and orange juice.

Authorities were soon on the scene, and Villalobos was transported to the hospital.

"It's crazy because we were walking so close to him, so it's just like, ‘How did we not walk by there?'" Rodriquez said. "Also, the helicopter was so close. How did we miss him? I know that he was conscious the whole time. He even got bitten by a coyote on almost the third or last night. He remembers it and has the bite on his wrist. He says he started screaming and it ran away!"

The dude not only survived the cold nights. A coyote flipping bit his hand and he shouted to frighten it off.

Good on this homeless dude for showcasing real humanity. It was truly a heroic act.

"I don't think there's any other way to explain it," Rodriquez said. "To survive four days without water and four really cold nights, it really is a miracle."

Their hero doesn't see himself the same way the family does, but they're hopeful they can find a way to show him how grateful they are.

"Oh, I'm not a hero," Durham said. "I'm just, just -- just Coleman."

Every good hero has to say "I'm not a hero". That's what makes them a hero.

Honestly, it is a miracle Villalobos survived as long as he did. And it's a miracle that Coleman just happened to go a different way, leading to a life-saving rescue.
