Indianapolis Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay passed away at the age of 65 on Wednesday, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. Irsay had led the Colts since 1997 and is survived by his daughters Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson, his ex-wife and his daughters' mother, Meg Coyle, and 10 grandchildren. Irsay-Gordon, his eldest daughter, is the move involved in team operations and took her father's place during his NFL suspension in 2014 after his DWI arrest. Irsay was hospitalized in December of 2023 when first responders found him unresponsive in his bedroom, with police characterizing the incident as a suspected overdose. He was then not seen publicly for weeks, with the Colts saying he was being treated for a "severe respiratory illness." Irsay was one of the NFL's most influential owners and led Indy to two Super Bowl titles, with them winning Super Bowl XLI.
