Paul Harrell, who was well-known on YouTube for his knowledge of firearms, died of Stage 2 pancreatic cancer. “If you’re watching me, I’m dead,” Harrell said to his 1.14 million subscribers in a moving video titled “I’m Dead.” On December 20, 2023, he shot the video since his disease had spread more quickly than anticipated.
Roy, Harrell’s brother, provided updates on Paul’s condition and ongoing work on the channel. Roy disclosed that Paul’s time was “getting incredibly short” and that he intended to continue the channel in Paul’s manner, possibly changing its name to “Paul and Roy Harrell.”
Harrell, whose disease had spread to his bones and left him on crutches, recalled shooting at the range in the last videos. “I had hoped that I would continue in this format for the next 10 or even 15 years,” he said, expressing his appreciation and disappointment. His channel will live on as a testament to his love of guns.
