Death
Towards the final month of his life, TheAngryGrandpaShow channel temporarily ceased production of all videos. Grandpa admitted to wanting to go back to doing YouTube with Michael and Bridgette as often as he did before he was diagnosed, but the couple disagreed so he could focus on his health.
Charles died in his home from complications of cirrhosis and pneumonia. He had been in and out of the hospital ever since he was diagnosed with cancer in February of 2017. Although Charles was able to beat the cancer, he developed pneumonia. The main cause for his pneumonia was due to long-term smoking. While going through pneumonia, he was also diagnosed with cirrhosis, which caused the liver to scar and its cells to fail. On December 10, 2017 at 4:17 p.m., Angry Grandpa passed away from complications from his cirrhosis, when he was 67 years old. Charles' funeral was held 4 days later on Thursday, December 14, 2017. He was cremated and his ashes were separated in urns that were passed to his children.
Michael announced Grandpa's death via Youtube and Twitter.
After the announcement of his death, many viewers of his channel and YouTube in general, including other famous YouTubers (McJuggerNuggets, Keemstar, Boogie2988, FaZe Rug, and more) and notable WWE figures (Mick Foley and Paul Heyman), HealthyJunkFood, and even Buzzfeed expressed their condolences on the loss of Angry Grandpa on various social media platforms.
