Sonny Barger, founder of the original Oakland, California, chapter of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club, died of liver cancer in his home in California on June 29 at 83 years old.

If you know who Barger is, you may be surprised that he was still alive in 2022 and died quietly at home, rather than in some drunken knife fight. Born October 8, 1938 in Modesto, California, Sonny Barger founded arguably one of the most notorious and well-known biker gangs in America at just 19 years old. While not the founder of the original gang at large (the Hell’s Angels were founded in 1948 in Fontana, California) Barger was known for turning the Hell’s Angels lifestyle into an iconic piece of America’s counterculture.
