Discovery Channel | USsPost.com:ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Phil Harris, the fishing boat captain whose adventures off the Alaska coast were captured on the television show “Deadliest Catch“, has died, the Discovery Channel said Tuesday night. He was 53.

Harris suffered what his family described as a massive stroke on Jan. 29 while the fishing vessel he captained, Cornelia Marie, was in port at St. Paul Island, Alaska. The fisherman was flown to Anchorage for surgery.

The reality show, which has filmed five seasons, has been one of the Discovery Channel’s most popular and depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska.

“It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad – Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end,” sons Josh and Jake Harris said in a statement released by the network. “For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down.”

In a statement, Discovery Channel senior vice president Elizabeth Hillman says, “Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him.”

“We will miss his straightforward honesty, wicked sense of humor and enormous heart,” she said.

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, she said no additional information was immediately available Tuesday night.

Harris had seemed to be improving, and in a posting last Saturday on the ship’s Web site, he was described as “talking to friends and family today; showing his greatest progress” since the stroke.

His sons wrote in a Feb. 3 posting that “No one ever said Captain Phil Harris wasn’t tough. Today, dad showed some good signs of improvement, squeezing our hands and even summoning his trademark Captain’s bluntness … We are encouraged but still very cautious.”

According to the ship’s Web site, Harris started working on fishing boats at age 7 and started work 10 years later on a crab boat. When Harris turned 21, he ran a fishing vessel out of Seattle, making him one of the youngest to captain a vessel in the Bering Sea.

When Harris suffered the stroke, the family said a friend, Derek Ray, had flown to St. Paul to take over the role of relief skipper for the rest of the opilio crab season.

Harris’ fishing vessel was based in Seattle.

rs_paulharris_w_300_h_231_w_300_h_395Cornelia Marie Crab Boat | USsPost.com:Deadlest Catch captain Phil Harris suffered a stroke on January 29, and the developments in Harris’ state have been heavy online searches since. Sadly Paul Harris passed away Tuesday night, February 9, in Alaska.

Paul Harris suffered either a cardiac complication or stroke (reports are conflicting, but reports suggest his family believes it was a heart attack) on January 29 while he was reportedly unloading crabs from his boat Cornelia Marie. He was treated in an Alaska hospital and apparently purposely sedated for a few days, before waking and appearing to make progress while interacting with his family.

Paul Harris rose to fame after starring in the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch, which depicted the crabbing industry in Alaska. In its five seasons, the show had grown into Discovery’s most popular, and our friends at PopEater report that Paul Harris was such a central figure on the show because he embodied a timeless, tough male character who never backed down from the elements. Discovery Channel senior vice president Elizabeth Hillman says in a statement, “Phil was a devoted father and loyal friend to all who knew him.” Harris had been working on fishing boats since he was seven years old, and fishing is a Harris family business.

Paul Harris’ sons Jake and Josh have responded to their father’s death in a statement: “It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dad, Captain Phil Harris. Dad has always been a fighter and continued to be until the end. For us and the crew, he was someone who never backed down. We will remember and celebrate that strength. Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.”

LimeLife sends its best to Paul Harris’ family and members of the Deadliest Catch crew. Another sad celebrity tragedy saw a development in its story yesterday when Nancy Kerrigan’s father’s death was ruled a homicide. Get the confict-ridden story here.

Whether or not you knew Phil Harris, you’ll see how well-loved he was in this clip (as well as how careful he had to be for his health) from the Deadliest Catch’s most recent season.
