Whatever Broncos legend John Elway had won or achieved in his life, there was one man who played a massive role in all of it. Jeff Sperbeck started representing Elway halfway through his 16-year career in the NFL. The latter of which saw Elway win two Super Bowl titles, all with the Broncos. And once he was done with his Hall of Fame career, Sperbeck never left his side. Whether it was as GM, executive vice president, or even a consultant, Sperbeck managed everything about Elway. He may have served more than 100 NFL players, but to Elway, he was not just an agent. Sperbeck was his family, his close friend, until a tragic accident took him away from everyone, leaving a lot of questions unanswered.
Sperbeck apparently fell off a gold cart on Saturday and suffered a severe head injury. A 911 call was reportedly made from the 53200 block of Humboldt Blvd in La Quinta. Despite emergency personnel arriving in time and taking Sperbeck to the nearby Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, he later succumbed to his injuries. On Wednesday, it was reported that Sperbeck, 62, died despite being on life support. Later, TMZ reported that it was Elway who was driving the golf cart when both he and Sperbeck left an after-party at the Stagecoach music festival.
They also added that there were no indications of Elway driving inadequately, which led to Sperbeck falling off the moving golf cart. Still, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office was brought in to investigate the matter. However, it was not until Monday that the sheriff’s office was notified. On Friday, almost a week later, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco released a statement saying, “This appears to be a horrific accident. And unfortunately for all of those involved, one of the people well, a couple of them happen to be very high-profile celebrities. And that makes this more of an issue than it probably should be.”
Following this statement, John Elway’s lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, also stated via ESPN, “This has been a terrible time for everyone involved and our hearts continue to go out to the Sperbeck family. As John grieves this unimaginable loss, we appreciate the efforts of the Riverside County Sheriff’s department. The investigation has confirmed what we already knew: this was a tragic accident and sometimes things happen in life that we will never comprehend.”
