Remembering Jim Irsay: A Legacy of Passion, Football, and Music

The NFL world is mourning the loss of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, who passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 65. A true steward of the Horseshoe, Irsay led the franchise through its greatest era — highlighted by a Super Bowl title and the Peyton Manning years — while also building deep community roots in Indianapolis.

Beyond football, Irsay was a philanthropist, music collector, and outspoken advocate for addiction recovery. His passion, generosity, and love for the game left an indelible mark on the league and the city of Indianapolis. He is survived by his three daughters and a legacy that will live on in the hearts of Colts fans everywhere.
