On September 3, 2024, Paul Harrell left the world of the living.
I assume that most readers know who Paul Harrell was since he was a well known YouTuber, or GunTuber, who started publishing videos in 2012 with the primary goal of putting out useful or at least interesting information. I can’t recall exactly when I found his channel, but it wasn’t long after I had developed a deep interest in all things firearms and started this blog with an almost identical mission.
While I didn’t always agree with Mr. Harrell’s perspectives or opinions, I found them to be sincere, insightful, and interesting. More often than not, I found them to be useful. As such, I am of the opinion that his primary goal was achieved.
I will miss his humor and Shatneresque pauses, but I am glad his YouTube channel remains along with over 400 published videos. I also hope that his brother, Roy Harrell, is successful in continuing the legacy Paul Harrell leaves behind.
Rest in peace, Paul Harrell.
There are some folks you simply want to live forever. Paul was one of those folks. RIP.
I saw his video he recorded last year, to be released upon his death. He will be missed.
