Robbie Knievel, the legendary motorcycle daredevil who followed in and expanded upon his father Evel’s legacy, died on January 13, 2023 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 60 years old, and died with his three daughters by his side, according to his brother, Kelly.
Going by the professional title of “Kaptain Robbie Knievel,” the younger stuntman with the world-renowned surname completed over 350 jumps, according to his official website. His career spanned three decades, including highlights such as successfully jumping the Caesar’s Palace fountains in Las Vegas in 1989. His dad was there to cheer him on and hug him after Robbie successfully nailed the jump that had seriously injured Evel over two decades prior, in 1967.
