Obit: ‘We blame Seahawks lousy play call for Mike’s death’

1 min read

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – The family of a Seahawks fan who died after the Super Bowl said he would have enjoyed the dig at the team they put in the last line of his obituary:

“We blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike’s untimely death.”

The obituary for Michael Vedvik appeared Thursday in The Spokesman-Review.

His wife, Stephanie, said he would have found the line hilarious.

The 53-year-old Kent man actually didn’t see the game. He recorded it, intending to watch later, and went to sleep not feeling well, thinking it was indigestion or stress. He died in bed after a heart attack.

His brother-in-law added the line about Seattle’s unsuccessful last play to the obituary and Stephanie Vedvik approved.
