Charlie Green, star of Youtube's Angry Grandpa, passed away today at 67 · 2:29am Dec 11th, 2017
I've watched his videos for years, and I've seen a lot of high points in his life as a result of the channel. Despite all the pranks and fights he had with his kids, the old guy was a genuinely sweet and loving person. And through all the support he received from his fans and loved ones, he was able to move forward from the trailer he used to live in when the channel started. In his final years, his son not only got him a legitimate house to live in, but also gifted him with his dream car, a 55 Chevy Bel Air. Unfortunately, over the past few months, news of his cancer and sclerosis of the liver wasn't hidden. And despite the high spirits his family tried to keep up for the channel, I think it was clear to a lot of people that his passing was bound to occur sooner than later.
I doubt I'm the only person on this site who enjoys the channel, but I just wanted to bring it up because the channel meant a lot to me. It was one of the most dysfunctional families on YouTube, and a lot of their earlier videos are pretty much the epitaph of White Trash; however, it was also one of the most entertaining, and always brought a smile to my face when I needed it most. Even though I know the man lived a long and fulfilling life, and undoubtedly passed with the love of his family by his side, I'm still gonna miss him a lot.
I'd like to link one of his videos which I'd consider my favorite, but that's a bit tricky since 1.) There are so many great clips that it's hard to pick just one. And 2.) Some of my favorite videos are things that wouldn't be the most appropriate for a memorial post (especially his earlier videos when he lived at the trailer park.) So instead, I'm just gonna recommend people check out his videos themselves, and leave only this song he actually recorded with Shooter Jennings for an album.
Rest in peace, you old bastard. After all the shit you went though, you deserve a peaceful night.
Rest in piece ya old man, were gonna miss you
I used to watch him a while ago. damn.. a shame to see him go.
REst in Piece...
Well, at least he had the support of family through all this. Death in itself is difficult to cope with.
