how was waylon jennings when he passed away?
Fate spared Waylon Jenningsâ life on Feb. 3, 1959. Waylon had been given a second chance, and he used it to change the world of music forever. And after he had done that, Waylon Jennings died peacefully as he slept on Feb. 13, 2002, at age 64. âWaylon kicked ass right to the end, and ruled the roost right up to the last minute,â says his wife of 32 years, Jessi Colter.
