TL;DR Summary

Juan Vicente Pérez Mora, the oldest man in the world, has passed away just weeks before his 115th birthday. He was the fourth oldest validated living person and credited his longevity to hard work, rest, early bedtimes, daily aguardiente, and faith. Born in 1909 in Venezuela, he had 11 children, 42 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren. He worked in agriculture from the age of 5, served as a sheriff, and was married for 60 years. His death leaves the Gerontology Research Group searching for the world's oldest living man.
