The McQueen family has lost another member. Variety reports that Chad McQueen, son of legendary actor Steve McQueen, passed away at 63. Chad was an actor, martial artist, film producer, and race car driver. He was best known for playing Dutch in the first two The Karate Kid films, which starred Ralph Macchio in the titular role. His family — wife Jeanie and children Chase and Madison — released a statement announcing the unfortunate event, saying:
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our father, Chad McQueen. His remarkable journey as a loving father to us, along with his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly exemplified a life filled with love and dedication. His passion for racing not only highlighted his exceptional talent but also served as a way to honor his father’s legacy, a testament to the values instilled in him. He passed his passion, knowledge and dedication down to us, and we will continue not only his legacy but our grandfather’s as well. As a family, we need to navigate this difficult time, and we kindly ask for privacy as we remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”
