[@tylerrodriguez9233]

Man that ending really got me... For this dude to keep it together through all of that, that’s a grown ass man right there. RIP James

[@LovesM855A1]

It def got me man and im not that kinda guy….. ugh

[@BanditApache-nd6lu]

God, how I miss you brother. Thank you for everything that you ever taught me and countless others. 🇺🇸❤️

[@Bittlicious]

“I have every reason to wear crocs, but I still don’t!” ~James Yeager~. Badass to the core. Love it!

[@Lonepatriot69]

Loved it when he said that about crocks🙏🇺🇸💪

[@jamesowens2781]

Damn it crushed me I use the crocs to lure the women into thinking I am safe. Then the trap closes. Oh well got some slides in from viktos the other day.

[@TexasSlinger]

i thought he did at one point a while back....

[@MRsolidcolor]

RIP. James live a life most will never see.

[@Militaryarmschannel]

We love you, brother. I will be contributing to your FUN raiser as everyone watching this should.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Thanks Homie!

[@gunsquawk4443]

You comment on everything just to say you're in with the big boys. I figured you of all people wouldn't have anything to do with this foul mouthed wannabe. Hint: You don't have to drop F bombs all the time to be cool. In fact, it's not cool at all.

[@Thee_Finger]

You’ve taught me something today about life and how to be a man. Your legacy and impact on the world is bigger than you know. Peace be with you.

[@theARMORYchannel]

James thanks for all your knowledge it’s a gift to everyone. Don’t think about the 1% you have all of us.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

well said pete. Both you guys are OGs in the gun world of KZbin. And you both have tought me so much on youtube.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

I think James has passed. Sad day for sure. Might be a rumor but its out there.

[@garychapple8079]

My 🙏🙏🙏 are going out to his family friends and scribers RIP James Yeager you will be missed

[@anthonyhablinski9852]

What a great warrior and man, RIP James, we will take it from here.

[@eleazarantonio]

As a soldier, I had this fantasy of dying in the battlefield a hero. Now as a civilian when I feel sick I run to the hospital so afraid to die of illness. I’ve been struggling with this for years. You Mr.Yeager are the bravest warrior I have met. Both in and out of the battlefield. I feel so inspired by your courage and attitude. May you continue to be an inspiration for all of us. Love you BROTHER. I have learned so many things from you over the years and yet today I feel I have learnt the most so far. I got your six my man.

[@Topsnap_Podcast]

Love you Brother Eleazar.

[@jamesbell5354]

Amen

[@JuniusMaltby]

Rest In Peace James. Your strength through this was an example to all.

[@lowasteam5319]

Rest In Peace James and thoughts and prayers to the family.

[@cutlerylover]

Im so sorry James... if I was told today my end is near it would be devastating, Id deal with it but no one can know how that feels unless its really happening to them...but my worry when my time comes is with knowing my loves ones will be sad about it, and as a man Ill always be worried about the financial situation for my wife and family when im gone...but not many of us can say we left a legacy, most of us will die and be forgotten about, but not you, a badass till the end and always remembered and respected...Yes its incredibly sad and most of us watching are teary eyed watching you now...The silver lining here, at least you know your time is coming soon and you can get all your business set with family before you go...God Bless

[@bdehalfdead5510]

We don't often get to witness the heart and mind of a warrior in the times that matter. I've had the fortune of knowing warriors in their last moments and I'm humbled deeply seeing the strength of this man ive admired for so long. I can only pray to have a portion of this man's acceptance and resolve in the end. I'm donating what I can and everyone that's learned anything from him should as well.

[@danielburdette249]

“Your responsibility to be ready for the fight never ends”. God bless you, James. And 40 still sucks.

[@realitynotfictionii563]

That hit hard, I've been watching his videos forever. And that final sign off hurt...

[@jlinms8721]

This is the most James Yeager video imaginable. He's looking death in the face in this video and refusing to buckle. I loved this guy and never met him. I know his friends and family will miss him for the rest of their lives. Godspeed, Mr. Yeager. I feel lucky to have shared my time on Earth with you.

[@pinhead1304]

I started watching james when i was 16 years old im now 34 its wild to think he was almost the same age i am now when i began watching his first videos on youtube. He always replied to my comments on various platforms over the years. invited me to a class on a live stream. His videos had a tremendous impact on the way i lived my life and the career i chose and the way in which i approached things. I never got to go and take that class with him and it weighs heavy on my heart. What a man. I still find myself watching videos and having a good laugh. The world needs more people like james there's no one out there now who you can compare him to. Its such a shame he was taken at such a young age.

[@tylerandersenandthegang]

We love you buddy... we will never EVER forget what you have taught us all...

[@superdrummer101]

Hey James. When i turned 18 you were all i watched, i learned everything I know about firearms from you, I'm 30 now and that knowledge will be passed down to my son and daughter and so on. Thank you for everything. You're awesome.

[@gunsquawk4443]

Just remember, just because some idiot knows basic safety rules and how to move and cover, doesn't make him a soldier. Plenty of wannabes on KZbin.

[@zackbutz1411]

Not gonna lie, I took offense to the crocs.🤣 Thank you for all you do. The world is a better place because of James Yeager. Few men deserve that accolade. You sir embody it.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

:-)

[@180SecondIdeas]

Thinking about you brother. You've done a lot of good for a lot of people, and I'm proud that you're a part of this community.

[@bodazaphfa]

I fucking love this guy and have all of the respect in the world for him.

[@haconk]

He's AMAZING.....a true American

[@djupchurch2673]

Yes sir a real true American

[@CriticalPerformanceTraining]

I swear to God I will never forget you for my entire life. Meeting you for the first time at way of the pistol in April was unforgettable. Tactical Response alumni are forever.

[@lincolnlocker469]

Fuck those people! I wish i could afford to do everything possible for you James. I have watched so many of your videos and are priceless info to me. Ill donate what i can to help with anything.

[@mauserwaffen982]

don't be sad that such men died, be glad that such men lived!

[@kirrenwheeler1528]

So sad too see James in this way. Thank you for everything you have taught us all. You will be missed greatly.

[@hugomagallon1099]

RIP brother... We got it from here. God bless you, your family and friends and everyone reading this.

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

One thing is certain James. Nobody can call you a coward or a downer. No matter the situation, you go into it with your head held high and a heart of passion. I admire your sense of humor too. I hope I can be like that when my end comes.

[@DMAC55]

My training from tactical response saved my life.. I could hear your voice in my head.. Thank you sir for everything and being so kind to my wife and I.

[@intensifier1346]

You would not believe how many times James is mentioned in my social circle on a weekly basis. That’s a legend. Thanks for everything you do.

[@brianh4979]

Same here. I always point people in the direction of james videos and channel

[@laydoncooper3358]

I hope I can have this much fire strength and character when my time comes….Godspeed James….

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

It’s so difficult seeing him like this. ALS took him extremely fast. R.I.P. James.

[@catdaddy3941]

It would have to! With James if ALS fucked around, it’d find out!

[@thelegendofrobb]

The man, the myth, the legend...james yeager

[@oldsaltyman]

Damn Right!

[@fckjoebdn1776]

Put some respect on it and proper capitalization please sir.

[@PPSChadwick]

Started watching his channel a long time ago. Started training at his school in 2015 and several times after. He’s been instrumental all the way from my mindset all the way through to the books I’ve read. Got to finally meet him and shake his hand two years ago in AZ. I’ll never forget his generosity.

[@Twinspinner]

@Steven Clanton judging someone by the amount of money they have in their pocket?

[@johobo2038]

The first face and voice I found in the wilderness after buying my first gun and realizing I had so much to learn. A true American through and through. None of us are getting off this rock alive. I for one hope I can leave it with as much class and honor as James did. He will forever have my respect and admiration.

[@benbrink8424]

As someone who has taken classes from James, he is a very humble and giving person. Your a great man JAMES YEAGER!

[@Mikej420]

Rest easy James! Thank you for being a great voice for 2A

[@adventure_alexander]

You’ve been an incredibly influential character in my life, James. I can’t recall how many times I have quoted or referenced you while teaching others. You will be missed, especially because of the way you have faced all challenges in your life, with courage.

[@tayloro100]

James, What you have done in your lifetime, most people could never dream. Thank you for your life of service.

[@mr.america3574]

My thoughts are with you and your family. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for us as a culture James. You are definitely the fucking man!

[@LastAmericanOutlaw]

One of the greatest friends I have ever had. Thank you James, thank you for all you have done for me.

[@huntgolfshop]

Love and Respect! James Yeager you are a true American Hero. Thanks.

[@artmccomeskey738]

I have known of many youtubers who have since passed but James passing has really hit me hard .....i dont know what exactly had drawn me into his channel maybe his honesty he never fed his viewers BS he always told it like it was ....his passing has left a big void in the world....RIP in my friend you were a good man

[@motokenzo763]

It's difficult to even leave a comment. You are a badass and legend. I believe in what you teach and will be taking your training. Thank you.

[@that_boyzac4908]

Exactly...

[@warriorguitar1]

I needed to hear you one more time Yeager. Thank you sincerely for your life and it’s impact. RIP

[@theconqueror21]

Hey James, I met you twice back in 2013, first after Fighting Rifle then at Alumni Weekend. You have been tremendous in my journey with firearms and will continue to do so long into the future. I remember you saw my chest rig and said "No med kit?" I said I had some pieces but not all of it together just yet and you dug around, found a pouch then gave me everything to fill it. You invited me to dinner with you and your wife and other than me being an (incredible) awkward 22 year old it was fantastic, you brought me back to the shop while you did some filming for Jordan and we got to talk one on one for a bit before heading back to the Team Room. I wish I would have prioritized training more so I could have been there more often but your training will be with me forever and my mindset has forever been changed for the better. I cannot wait to tell my son (2 years old now) about you when he is old enough to start following the path. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do, love you man!!

[@chrisresendes7183]

Rest In Peace sir! You were literally one of the first people I watched on KZbin in regards to guns and tactics. You told it like it is always. You will be missed

[@OGDuff]

R.I.P. James. We'll continue the fight and we'll remember what you taught us. This man blessed us with free knowledge and I'll always be thankful for men like him!

[@andreamacintosh1453]

James you gave myself and my son the biggest gift possible when you helped my son grow in firearms and being a man. Thank you

[@LionWolfTactical]

James. I regret never getting to train with you. But I wanted to say that you taught me so many things over the years, not just about firearms or training, but fatherhood, being a man, and so many other things I was able to witness by you. Prayers and Love to your family and all you left behind to live on after you. Rest in Peace my Friend. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

James is still a part of teaching every one of our Fighting pistol classes. The most important lessons in that class are in the mindset lecture which has been given in video format for the last 8-9 years. You can still come learn from the man himself

[@homeydirt2278]

The manner in which you have managed and conducted yourself in the most difficult times is awesome and inspiring. Thank you

[@hutcheod5640]

Rest easy warrior. Your spirit will live forever.

[@zachaklysdefense2274]

Man , my life has been profoundly better getting to know you and your family . I love all of you and the huge family of Alumni . Thank you for giving that to me .

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

You rock!

[@griffyrule6553]

You were a role model for me when I was very lost. Weird how somebody can impact your life without really knowing you. But you impacted mine. God speed. Thank you.

[@MyCheesewheel]

100 agree!

[@Brooks_M3]

What you’ve done for the community, we couldn’t begin to thank you enough. You’re a great American, a great husband, a great father and a great friend to many. Thank you sir, God bless you.

[@FPCCEM]

“Make your own channel jackass.” That gave me a good laugh. Thanks for all you contributed to the community, rest easy.

[@MamaRestInPeace1424]

James Yeager, You Are An “Epic American Hero” To So Many You Have Helped. From Every Soul Your Knowledge And Training Has Saved, “Thank You Sir” Salute

[@kestrelfpv4712]

You changed my life, James, I’ll never forget that. Much love to you friend.

[@MrJohnylompoc]

It was the highlight of a 22 year career in the firearms industry to attend your training and to go see Lone Survivor with you. I felt like the Prom queen getting to sit next to you. Thank you for all you do, have done and for the great content and friendship over the years. Love you James, you are a solid dude.

[@BigJakeShoots]

I’ve watched you on KZbin for years, and I would love to take a class at tactical response but due to a bad back I’ve been in constant pain for years. Once the Drs get my back sorted out Tactical Response is my first trip. I appreciate all the knowledge I’ve gained from you over the years!

[@adamreid6931]

I have learned so much from your videos. RIP Sir.

[@tedburton8490]

My motherinlaw went the same way. She had the same attitude!! Live your life as you see fit!! Love ya brother!!!

[@irishsavage8715]

Still making us laugh all the way to the end, what a guy, James it’s been a pleasure knowing you and I will always be grateful for what you’ve done for us all.

[@hotlinepressurewashing3064]

“But I’m gonna make everyone draw straws first” literally made me laugh out loud. You’re an awesome soul brother!

[@edged_mindset]

I hope I am half as accepting and strong as you when my time is near. You have given me a new life goal to work on everyday.

[@accu-tac]

Knowing you has been a gift in itself! Thank you, James! It is an honor to simply know you through this small but huge industry. Not many are lucky like me to get a name shout out from James Yeager 😁 -Susi

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

You're the best!

[@jeremiahheidle747]

You are a hero of mine for many years. Much respect for sharing your life with us for years.

[@tinathompson9642]

James, thank you again for always taking the keys when we were 16 and I was drinking. I never forgot you for that! You always stayed sober and looked after everybody even as young as you were. And for keeping us so entertained at all times. You will never be forgotten!!

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Wow! Good to hear from you. It has been a long time!

[@robbermudez2495]

Love you James, you’ll never know the impact you’ve had on my life. I’ve been watching your videos since I was a kid. You’ve taught me so much and I could never repay you for all that you’ve done for the community! I’ll never forget all that you’ve taught me about being a protector of people and the mindset you’ve instilled in me. Love you man!

[@advancepoint123]

We love you , Tactical Response and what you have given to others throughout your life. You are a great human being. Strength and honor!

[@stevewoods7237]

Watched this when it was posted in June and it just popped up again. I am taken back at how quickly this disease took you from us. Truly one of if not the strongest most selfless men I have known. Rest in peace sir, keep the pearly gate safe for us all.

I appreciate that!

[@darthanianmakhaan2499]

You are and will always be an awesome person!

[@ravenwild6951]

So long James, thanks for everything you did for us.

[@BigBalmerJV]

Thanks! I’ve watched since I was around 19 or 20 years old and one thing that had always stuck with me was when you said “if you think someone should do something about that, then you should be doing it” if it’s worth anything I’ve saved a couple lives and helped a few people who where hurt (as well as just helping people who aren’t hurt and just need help) with those words going through my head. Your influence is far and wide and I thank you for all the tid bits of knowledge you’ve dropped over the years.

[@alecboss8646]

I literally don’t have words, shit nothing I could say would ever make what you’re going through easier or better, but I want you to know that you are one of if not the bravest individuals I have ever seen. Your poise and strength in a time that is unimaginable for just about all of us is nothing short of superhuman. You are a great man and I am so thankful I found your channel. I want to personally Thank you for what you have shared, for your wisdom, for your humor, and for the life lesson you have just given me in this video. God Bless you and rest easy.

[@TheBamidd]

James, over the last 3 years I have taken a couple handfuls of classes at Tactical Response and I've had the pleasure of taking a half dozen of them with you directly. Even the classes you werent scheduled to be there for, you always made an appearance and shot the shit with everyone for a few minutes. My experiences training with you have made me a better shooter and fighter, and my experiences talking with you have made me a more humble and better person. I count myself as blessed to be someone who knows you and has been privileged to train with you. You will be surely missed, and yet you will always be around in the memory and curriculum of the incredible training and school you have built and the good people you have there continuing the legacy. Your demeanor in going through this situation and learning of your own mentality has been awe inspiring. Yet, it just goes along with the moto you preach and live. "Your responsibility to be ready for the fight never ends." Damn if you weren't ready to fight. I know you're no huge fan of modern country music, but a lyric from one comes to mind in this situation. From Toby Keith, Wayman's Song: "You showed me how I'm supposed to live, now you've shown me how to die." Life and death both charged towards and through with perseverance, courage, and care for those around you. Hope to see you soon in Camden, will donate whatever I can towards your FUNdraiser! Miles gloriosus memento vivere!

[@freidelkyle]

Thank you, James. Your personal contribution to the psyche of all of us who have watched and listened over the years will, itself, never end. Godspeed, James Yeager.

[@michaelpaulbrown6837]

A Real Man Of Character who always lead with his heart and taught so many of us to be ready for the fight.

[@MonsterHunter267]

"Your responsibility to be ready for the fight never ends". Words I live by and words that I pass on to my students and fellow 2nd amendment practicioners. Thanks for everything I've learned from you! I was never physically a student of yours, but I've learned a lot just from the videos.

[@joquin4618]

Respect for sharing your situation. Prayers for you, your family and friends. May God bless your household.

[@RammerJammer76]

Damn… the last line got to me. How awesome is it to know that your life’s work has made a difference and meant something to so many people?!? Much respect to you for having the fucking balls to face this condition head held high and fists clenched ready to go.

[@laterrius]

Gonna miss James. I had know idea. True warrior! Praying for the family!

[@SaltNBattery]

Not gonna lie, this made me cry. RIP James..

[@Daguitarman1129]

Ice cream and french toast. Man, it brought a smile to my face while tearing up. So great to hear that great spirit from you. I cannot imagine what you and the family are going through. You are incredibly tough and i am so grateful for all that you taught us throughout the years. Thank you so much.

[@rdov6652]

I love your “ I don’t give a fuck attitude” , we need more warriors like you !! , not going to lie it made me shed some tears. I’d love to help in any way !! I just became a father and this puts life into perspective 🇺🇸

Once I retired from the Army, I had no idea how to proceed on the Warrior Path as a civilian. It is different. Thank you James and crew for showing me that path and god speed to you James on the remainder of your path.

[@andyreid7274]

James, thank you for being so open about what is happening with you. The way you are handling yourself through it all will inspire others to be strong when facing adversity of all kinds. Just another part of your legacy sir. Thank you for everything.

[@Oklahoma75]

Rest in Peace James.

[@MaxResolve]

Sir, there's nothing anyone can really say about all of this without sounding like a jackass, so I'll just keep it short and say thank you for all that you've contributed to the community, and commend your courage in facing your situation. Your attitude is inspiring, and will echo through time in the people it inspires.

[@luxuryprepper]

Amazing attitude. Thank you for your fighting spirit!
