Former Colorado and NFL tight end Don Hasselbeck died Monday. He was 70.
The father of ex-quarterbacks Matt and Tim Hasselback died of cardiac arrest, according to a social media post by Matt Hasselbeck.
“He was a great husband, father, grandfather, friend, coach, player, coworker, artist, mentor and storyteller,” Matt wrote. “Despite being an All-American at Colorado and a Super Bowl champion with the Raiders, what we are most proud of is the leader he was for our family.”
“He helped set our feet our solid ground. Married to and in love with our mom, Betsy, for 50 years, they built their house on the rock of Jesus Christ.
