A daredevil centenarian who amazed the world by engaging in various stunts and breaking four world records died at the age of 108.
Jack Reynolds was a one-of-a-kind pensioner who defied his age by breaking numerous world records after hitting 104 years old.
Mr. Reynolds, who passed away on April 25 according to his daughter, has gained international fame after becoming the oldest person to ride a rollercoaster and a zip wire.
The fearless senior also got himself a tattoo and secured the opportunity to become the oldest person to appear on TV as a supporting actor.
“My wonderful, precious dad lost his fight yesterday 25th April at 3.37pm. His doting family were with him and I was holding his hand,” Jayne Marie Goodwin, the great-grandfather’s daughter, wrote in a Facebook post.
“My heart is breaking and there will be the biggest gap in my life as from being born, I saw him almost daily but he’s no longer suffering and with my dear mum. R.I.P Jack Reynolds. I love you so much”
Mr. Reynolds, who the Guinness World Records dubbed the Centenarian Daredevil, participated in various challenges in order to raise money for charity purposes.
Back at 102 years old, the man rose to fame after completing the ice bucket challenge. Years later, he broke the world record by getting tattooed and riding a rollercoaster and a zip wire. The centenarian passed his final world record as he acted in a soap opera at the age of 107.
“He was such an inspirational man, you can’t forget him. He’s just done so many exciting, wonderful things in his life and he’s enabled us to have so many different experiences,” Goodwin said in an interview with ITV.
“He’s got grandchildren, great grandchildren, future great-great grandchildren who will never forget him. Their children for many years to come just have to look him up. He will never be forgotten.”
