The wife of the longtime agent of the NFL and the trading partner of John Elway, Jeff Sperbeck, published a heartbreaking tribute to his late husband after being killed in a tragic golf cart accident.
“I will miss my life every day,” Cori Sperbeck wrote on wires alongside a photo of the couple. “Thank you for loving me.
In addition to Cori, Jeff leaves three children behind him: Carly, Sam and Jackson.
Cori previously announced Jeff’s death last week, calling the 62 -year -old player as “wonderful father, husband, brother, son and friend of many”.
“We are in mourning this unimaginable loss with the family alongside our most expensive friends Les Elway’s (sic) and the many other customers that Jeff called friends”, read the April 30 press release. “We are grateful to the overwhelming outpouring of the support we have received and privacy for our family during this difficult period.”
Sperbeck died of a blunt head trauma after their horrible golf cart accident, a coroner said this week. Police do not suspect any unfair game. He died the previous week, succumbing to the devastating injuries he suffered by falling from the back of a golf cart at the Quinta, California, four days earlier.

To add to the tragedy, the legendary quarter of the Arrière de Denver Broncos had led the vehicle near the Madison Club.
The others present included the girlfriend of Elway, the son and daughter-in-law of the renowned temple, as well as Sperbeck and his wife, Cori, according to 9news.
The Riverside County Sheriff Office told TMZ that the Coroner office had also ruled an accident on Sperbeck’s death.
Elway and the group intended to attend the Country Music Festival of Stagecoach Outdoor in Indio near April 26, but this idea was removed due to unusually cold weather.
Instead, the three couples were included in a caravan of three to four golf carts carrying between 10 and 15 people in a quarter of a private function at the Madison Club at the Elway home on the station.
Elway led the golf cart to the back of the caravan with her girlfriend sitting next to it.
Before leaving, Sperbeck suggested to his wife that she should sit with Elway and her girlfriend, while offering to stand at the back of the cart alongside another passenger, Johnny Devenanzio.
No distance or play of horses took place, said sources at 9News, but in one way or another, Sperbeck fell back, instantly hitting the head on the ground. Devenanzio shouted so that Elway stops the cart, which Elway did, allowing Cori to rush to her husband.
Sperbeck was still breathing, although the severity of his injury was instantly apparent. It was Elway who called 9-1-1 and Sperbeck was transported urgently to a neighboring hospital.
Elway then published a statement saying that he was `absolutely devastated and the heart broken by the death of my close friend, trading partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck.
“There are no words to really express the deep sadness that I feel with the sudden loss of someone who meant so much for me.”
“My heart and my deepest sympathies go to Jeff’s wife, Cori; his children Carly, Sam and Jackson; And all those who knew and loved him.
“Jeff will miss us deeply for loyalty, wisdom, friendship and love he brought to my life and the life of so many others.”

Elway, who played his entire career on Denver’s broncos, hired lawyer Harvey Steinberg last week, according to Fox.
Sperbeck did not represented Elway at the start of the NFL career of the signal caller when he was drafted in 1983, previously leaded this “John’s older than me, I was still at university”.
Instead, the sports agent entered Elway’s life in 1990, while Elway was already a star of Denver Broncos. While Elway dominated on the ground, winning two Super Bowls with broncos, Sperbeck helped the fame of renown to establish his outstanding empire.
They continued to train the 7celars wine company together in 2013 at 15 years after Elway hung up its crampons and withdrew from the NFL.
