Bryan Wiedmeier, a long-time executive with the Miami Dolphins and current Executive Vice President with the Cleveland Browns, passed away Tuesday at the age of 57.
Wiedmeier was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer in October 2012, and had a glioblastoma tumor removed a week later. He was initially given just 15 months to live, but made it nearly four years, working until the time of his death.
Wiedmeier began his career with the Dolphins in 1981, working his way up the ranks in business operations, football administration, and labor affairs. He spent the majority of his Dolphins career representing the team in NFL affairs, serving on several NFL committees, and was an original member of the NFL Management Council’s Working Club Executive Committee.
