Ken Densley, the man's son, shared the story in a Facebook post on Saturday.
"My dad, born in 1929, won't let (his children) mow his lawn," Densley wrote. "He pushed too hard (Saturday) and passed out. The neighbors saw and called 911."
Densley said he and his sister came to the Sacramento, California, home as soon as they heard about what happened. He said his father refused to go to the hospital, and as his children took him back inside, they saw an EMT mowing the lawn.
