Schnabel was a military veteran who got into
the gold mining business later in life after
physicians suggested he keep remain after
triple bypass surgery.
He grew into an anchor on Discovery's
popular, Alaska-based gold mining show,
which focuses mostly on his grandson,
Parker Schnabel. It recently wrapped Season
6.
Born in 1920 in Kansas, Schnabel bought the
Gold Nugget Mine in Porcupine Creek, Alaska
nearly three decades ago.
He got married in 1950 and had three
children with his wife, Erma.
Discovery aired a special that
featured Schnabel and his grandson on
Friday evening.
We send our condolences to the
entire Schnabel, along with all friends and
loved ones.
