As soon as you say Evel's name, we hear a screaming motorcycle. Perfect timing!

I remember as a kid watching Knievel on TV, I remember his quote: "The most important thing in life, if you have a dream, I mean a really good dream follow it.

According to Wikipedia, the tombstones next to his were of his paternal grandparents who raised him and his younger brother after their parents divorced and left Butte.

As a kid of the 70's, I grew up watching Evel. He was a big deal in my day. As big as Mohamed Ali. Both were featured on Wide World of Sports back then. I even got his Skycycle toy for Christmas in 74-75 (?). He was a childhood hero of mine for sure! Thanks for taking the detour on this one man.

This is great, my husband did the graveside funeral, and spoke at the funeral. Had a great time with Joe Frazier! My husband, Gene Sullivan was headed to the big title in boxing. He even saw Joe Frazier at Evel Knievel's funeral (he did, will leave link in comment), because Joe expected to fight him also. A relative talked to George Foreman on a plane, and asked, what happened to Gene, I expected him to be my contender? Gene Sullivan. He was ready to sign a training contract with Rocky Marciano but he died right before he did in a plane crash. Then Gene ran off with Evel Knievel, but HE GOT SAVED at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes luncheon. LIKE REALLY, HE WALKED AWAY FROM A 10 MILLION DOLLAR stunt contract, that HE DID SIGN. ONE OF HIS BIGGEST REGRETS, was watching George train in FL. about a month before you got saved. He felt like the Lord wanted him to reach out to you and give you his testimony, but HE WIMPED OUT. (no one has ever known him as a wimp either! ) We watched George's movie tonight and really enjoyed it. Gene actually ended up finding out WHO his REAL father is the last couple of months. Here is a little bit about that and how in the 1920's he was offered to train as a boxer for a month for 350 thousand dollars back then. It's a fun story. Gene along with boxing, was a stunt man, could have been an NFL star himself, but ran off with Evel Knievel instead. He knew Prescott Sullivan a famous Sports Writer in his day, as seen in the movie THE ODD COUPLE with Walter Matthaue, was not his father. His WW2 Command Pilot mother in the Aviation Hall of Fame, kept the secret. UNTIL ANCESTRY exposed it. Gene's real father? The FAMOUS Ernie Nevers... has a movie about him George Clooney did called LEATHERHEADS. He invented the HOOK SHOT in basketball, Played Professional basketball and baseball, even Pitched to Babe Ruth. Was in the movies too, BUT, was one of the FIRST ever to be inducted into the NFL HALL OF FAME, and holds 3 records that have never been broken. Pop Warner called him the BEST COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER in the first half Century of the 1900's. So did Sports Illustrated. He is in 4 FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMES. His son Gene is in 4 museums, buried Evel Knievel, and the longest touring Motorcycle Jumper in History. Ernie was offered about 320k in today's economy to train to box for one month. Gene? He was ready to sign a contract with the famed ROCKY MARCIANO to turn him into the heavy weight champion of the world, before he died in a plane crash. Gene was heavyweight champ in the Navy and for the State of Ca. Joe Frasier even asked Gene who did Evel Knievel's funeral (you can find that on RU-vid) why he never showed up in the ring. So Ernie and Prescott were good friends. Even found a news paper article where they are arm wrestling. They were both good friends, and golfing buddies with John Wayne, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joe DiMaggio, Ward Bond, among other famous people who hung out together. Been great fun getting to know about Ernie due to Ancestry. He died in 1974 but everyday, more things come up in the news, on ebay, he is still a sports hero talked about and written about if not every day, at least every week. There is much more to tell.... IT ALL MADE SENSE, when we found ERNIE NEVERS. Gene looks TOTALLY like his son, and had all the same ATHLETIC skill, that his bookworm Sportswriter father had none. Even how we found out with Gene famous sports documentary Emmy award winning son, is very fun. He came over one day and said, DAD will you spit in a tube for me? Knowing it would be highly unlikely he would. Soooo much more to tell but will end here.

His house was about a mile east (slightly east NE) of you in the country club area. Friend of mine lived next to his close relative. On more than one occasion he came over to drink our beer - when we were poor and in college. Never liked him. Constantly had to listen to him talk about himself. Went on date with another relative of his. One date was enough. Robbie was always cool though.
