The man, the legendary, Evel Knievel, has passed away at the age of 69.

A sad day for stuntmen the world over.

I only knew his name and was unfamiliar with his stunt work. Never-the-less, I hope he had a fulfilling life. Does anyone know until what age he kept doing such work?

I don't know. Honestly before this week when he met with Kanye West, I thought he was dead already. I hope he made his peace and R.I.P. 69 is pretty young to die now, but he did... extremely crazy things. I guess that cuts down on the years.

At least his family should be well-taken care of. I know his son is a stuntman also.

I believe it was 1980 or 81 that he stopped doing stunt driving. At least, that's what I caught on the news. He actually led a more fulfilling life than just stunt driving, he actually was involved in a variety of things.

Despite the possible discrepancies, you might want to check out Wikipedia, it may have at least some kind of biography on him. Also, google is your friend.
