Thanks. The starting paragraph made me think he was the last person ever worked on moon alive until now.

> Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, died Monday, Jan. 16, surrounded by his family.

There's 3 possible meanings:

* the last of the men who walked on the Moon has died

* the last man who stepped onto the Moon for the first time, died

* the last man who ever stood on the Moon before stepping off, died

Perhaps those last 2 refer to the same person, perhaps not.
