Evel Knievel's hard life killed him — it just took longer than he or anyone else might have expected. The hard-living motorcycle daredevil, whose bone-breaking, rocket-powered jumps and stunts made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

I am sorry to hear that. My prayers go out to his family. My brother always thought he we Evel Knievel when we were younger. He was his hero. He use to jump us on his motorcycle. We were just young and dumb.

Hard to believe that it wasn't one of his stunts that he died from either!

He lived life as he loved it. Fast-Hard-Exciting. In the spotlight. "LTABT" They say I drive a little fast, say I like to push the limits everyday I'm living like it was my last. Evel was an American icon. He will be missed.

RIP Evil Kneivil.
