Shooter Jennings @ShooterJennings I heard rumors that @theangrygrandpa has passed away. If this is true, I am deeply saddened. Charlie Green was a hell of a man, a dear friend, and a soul-mate to @Col_JonHensley -- we had so much fun together and he was so kind to bring me into his world. Forever my friend. George Mendez @Georgemendezart R.I.P @TheAngryGrandpa Had a blast creating this massive painting of you!! Thank you for your support and what you did for the YouTube community. You will be missed by millions.
