Respected firearms expert, Second Amendment proponent and “gun dad of the internet” Paul Harrell died this week at the age of 58 — posthumously releasing a pre-recorded YouTube video announcing the end of his lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.
In the video — which he gave the no-nonsense title “I’m Dead” — Harrell sits on a felled tree in a wooded area and shares the sad news that his health has taken a turn for the worse and he fears the end is near.
“My goal in doing all of this was primarily to put out useful information — or at least interesting information,” Harrell says of his YouTube career in the video, which racked up more than 1.5 million views within 12 hours of its posting.
A crutch can be seen leaning on the tree to his left, which he says he uses as the result of a broken hip he suffered as the disease attacked his bones.
