Had to look him up on IMDB...I knew the name, but, just could not remember the face.

I have to admit, I would not have been surprised that he was already gone. Also had a part in Old Yeller.

RIP 'King of the wild frontier'

What does "died of complications from old age" mean? I don't really read obituaries, so I'm lost as to what this could mean.

Usually means something along the lines of one or more vital organs/systems shut down but not from any specific illness or injury. Basically the cause of death is "your body was worn out".

Bill Simmons said in his chat earlier (paraphrasing):

"Guy who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone died today. That doesn't bode well for Sam Houston...or is it Ewing Theory?"

I laughed.

RIP to this gentleman. Davy Crockett is part of my family tree somehow (allegedly). That last part really has nothing to do with anything; just a useless factoid.
