Kilpatrick was born in Orange, Virginia, the son of Robert Donald Kilpatrick, Sr. and Elle Fay Hines Kilpatrick.

After nearly dying in a car crash at the age of 17 on November 17, 1967, Kilpatrick graduated from the University of Richmond in 1972, and was rehabilitated to the point where he could later perform his own stunts.
