Evel Knievel Place Of Burial: Where is Evel Knievel buried?

Evel Knievel was buried at Mountain View Cemetery in his hometown of Butte, Montana, on December 10, 2007, following a funeral at the 7,500-seat Butte Civic Center.

Evel Knievel was born as the first of two children to Robert E. and Ann Marie Keough Knievel in Butte, Montana. His mother was of Irish ancestry. In 1940, his parents divorced and moved away from Butte after the birth of their second child, Nicolas.

Evel Knievel’s career took off in the 1960s and 1970s when he began attempting and completing increasingly dangerous stunts, such as jumping over cars and fountains. He even attempted to jump across the Snake River Canyon in Idaho, though the stunt was ultimately unsuccessful.

Evel Knievel, in search of adventure, participated in professional rodeos and ski jumping competitions, even winning the Northern Rocky Mountain Ski Association Class A Men’s ski jumping championship in 1959. He then enlisted in the United States Army in the late 1950s.
