Chad McQueen dead at 63, claims report
63-year-old Chad McQueen, famously known for portraying Dutch in The Karate Kid series and being the son of iconic actor Steve McQueen, has tragically passed away. Reports indicate that he died on a ranch in Palm Desert on Wednesday due to organ complications.
In my own words, I’m deeply saddened by the news of his passing. He bravely fought through health issues stemming from a fall in 2020 and a severe accident during preparations for the Daytona International Speedway’s Rolex 24 event in 2006. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, this friend of mine, Arthur Barens, confirmed his passing, stating that he never fully recovered from those injuries. His children, Chase and Madison, shared their heartache on Instagram, recalling his deep love for acting and racing, and his unwavering devotion to our mother. Their statement touched me deeply: “His incredible journey as a loving father to us, and his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly embodied a life filled with love and dedication.” His passion for racing was not just a talent, but a tribute to his father’s legacy, reflecting the values he held dear.
Chad McQueen’s professional path mirrored that of his father, combining acting and auto racing. His film credits include Martial Law (1991) and New York Cop (1993). In terms of racing, he achieved success until a 2006 accident brought an end to his driving career. Post-accident, McQueen established McQueen Racing in 2010 which continues to innovate high-performance vehicles, maintaining the McQueen family’s motorsports legacy.
McQueen is mourned by his spouse Jeannie, children Chase, Madison, and Stephen, as well as his mother, Neile Adams. His passing signifies the departure of yet another cherished member from the McQueen clan. The McQueen family, renowned for their impact in both entertainment and racing, now feels this loss deeply.
