John Elway’s Agent Jeff Sperbeck Dies in Tragic Golf Cart Accident

In a tragic turn of events, Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime agent and close friend of NFL legend John Elway, passed away at 62 following a golf cart accident in La Quinta, California. The Riverside County coroner confirmed Sperbeck succumbed to blunt head trauma on April 30 at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, four days after the incident.

The coroner’s report, released Friday, deemed the death accidental, noting Sperbeck fell from a golf cart driven by Elway, the former Denver Broncos quarterback. Authorities found no evidence of criminal activity, with Sheriff Chad Bianco calling it a "horrific accident" amplified by the high-profile status of those involved.

Elway, a two-time Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer, expressed profound grief. "I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken," he said, mourning the sudden loss of a man who was both a business partner and a cherished friend.

The incident has drawn significant attention, but investigators emphasize it appears to be a tragic mishap. As the sports world reflects, Sperbeck’s legacy as a trusted agent endures.
