When he announced his diagnosis, I remember him saying ALS was the only thing his father ever gave him. That was heartbreaking man. RIP James

James Yeager saved my life. I was 650lbs when James started his "Biggest Losers" contest. I ended up winning that challenge and won a year of free training. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take advantage of the free training because I was still way to large and out of shape to be able to participate. But because of that competition he literally saved my life. He gave me the knowledge and the belief in myself that I could keep going. So far I've lost half of my weight. I was on disability from the time I was 14yrs old and because of this I was able to go to school and follow my dreams in to EMS. I'm currently a Oregon EMT Intermediate and in paramedic school. If it wasn't for James help I probably would have been 700 to 800lbs and most likely dead. I will miss James and I know so many of use will. Thank you James for being my inspiration to get healthy and follow my dreams.

“Your responsibility to be ready for the fight, never ends.”. RIP warrior. Love him or hate him, he was a real man.

Great tribute. I enjoyed watching this.

He was the 1st 2A guy I ever found on YouTube. He could be abrasive AF at times, but he was never boring. May he RIP. Sending comfort to his friends and family.

James was probably the first firearm channel I subscribed to. He was a charitable dude and will be missed by many. Rest In Peace, brother.

I was lucky enough to meet James in 2019. He was a great man and will be missed by many.

He popped in my head this am. Glad I knew his presence on here while he was around

[ChoochContrino]

I was lucky enough to meet James and train a few times with his team. Absolute legend. The ppl that hate him don’t know him. Thanks for sharing.

The guys who travel upstream and refuse to go with the flow end up having the biggest impact. Yeager, like him or not was one of those guys. The most important thing he did was make you think. And he wanted everyone prepared. He's deserving of a trubute and you did a good job here Sootch. Thanks

James was a refreshing personality and a true Patriot. Rest In Peace Warrior!!! A treasure truly missed.

Thank you 👍. James wasn’t arrogant at all. He was simply honest. We need more people like him. Very sad to hear he passed. 😥. May God bless & protect his soul, and his family. 🙏🏻✝️

I only met James once. Honestly, it was a very positive experience. Great guy, down to earth, talked to my wife and kids like he knew them all his life.

Yaeger was one of the first guntubers I started watching. Always came across as a genuine dude who stuck by what he believed in.

[TheRogueGriffin]

James was one of the all-time GOATS of YouTube Gun and Prepper community.

[DJbishop]

Thank you for this presentation sootch. You & James not only remind us to be prepared for the fight but also WHY we fight. There are still good people out there and that's worth fighting for.

[jeffhouse]

James was a good man, an honest man and a warrior. It’s rare to say that these days.

[willo]

No matter what your opinion is about James Yeager you have to agree that he was a huge personality and influence in the 2a world. Dude was a force of nature and it won’t be the same without him.

[jeremyward]

It was a big kick in the gut when I saw his family's live stream about his passing. Thanks for your tribute. He was misunderstood but I always liked his stuff.

[jeffreylocke]

James Yeager was joyful even in his authority mode. A gregarious bear. I am saddened I never got to take training from the master. Rest In Peace Warrior!!!
