Have you ever heard of Evariste Galois?
He was a French mathematician who died at the age of 20 in a duel.
He founded Group Theory and the Galois Theory, but it took decades for other mathematicians to understand his concepts.

There is a wonderful book about him by astronomer Mario Livio: "The equation that could not be solved", highly recommended.
