Deadliest Catch captain dies at age of 53!

[mrsskidoo]

Phil Harris died last night from his stroke suffered on January 29th. Wow, what a shame, too young. He will be missed, he was one of my favorite captains next to the Hillstrand boys!

That is very sad. 53 is too young. I really enjoyed watching him on the show. Sad deal.

It really is too bad, but also pretty unsurprising. That guy had zero care for his health.

The man has lived one heck of a life. I mean being a captain of a fishing vessel hundreds of miles out in the killer icy seas of Alaska! He left this world loved by millions.

Man. That's to bad. I enjoyed watching he and his crew on the Cornelia M.
