Jeffrey Sperbeck, the longtime agent for former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, died on Wednesday, days after he fell off a golf cart in California. He was 62. The incident occurred on Saturday night in La Quinta, California, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. A source familiar with the details of the incident confirmed to NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver that Elway was driving the golf cart. KUSA reported that Sperbeck was at the Madison Club, a private golf resort community where Elway owns a home. A person who answered the phone at the club on Wednesday declined to answer questions and directed NBC News to send an email to the club.
Jeff Sperbeck, the longtime friend, business partner and former agent of John Elway, died Wednesday from injuries suffered when he fell off a golf cart reportedly being driven by the Hall of Fame quarterback. Sperbeck was 62. The Riverside County (California) coroner confirmed Sperbeck's death in a news release from the sheriff's office. Sperbeck was injured Saturday night in La Quinta, California, and was declared dead early Wednesday at a Palm Springs hospital. "I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken by the passing of my close friend, business partner and agent Jeff Sperbeck," Elway said in a statement Wednesday. "There are no words to truly express the profound sadness I feel with the sudden loss of someone who has meant so much to me.
TMZ reported Wednesday that Elway was behind the wheel when Sperbeck fell off the vehicle and hit his head on asphalt at the private Madison Club community. Sperbeck and Elway’s wives, as well as Elway’s son, were also there at the time of the incident, per TMZ. The group had just left a party after attending the Stagecoach music festival earlier Saturday. He was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs after Elway called 911, where doctors said his prognosis was “not good” and told his family “there’s no hope he will recover,” TMZ previously reported. There are reportedly questions about local law enforcement’s response to the incident.
