How old was Timothy when he wrote 1st Timothy?

Answer:
The evangelist Timothy did not write 1st Timothy. Paul wrote 1st Timothy and he had to have been at least 40 when he did so. Given that Paul was crucified at about 62, it is a reasonable assumption that he was in his mid 40's when he wrote to his protegee.
