John Elway's former agent Jeff Sperbeck dies after fall from cart driven by QU while leaving Stagecoach after-party in Southern CA

In La Quinta, California, Jeff Sperbeck, former agent of John Elway, passed away after falling from a golf cart driven by the Hall of Fame quarterback. The incident took place in Southern California, as reported by a local TV news station and the Riverside County coroner’s office.

Sperbeck, who was a close friend of Elway’s, had been managing Elway since 1990. Unfortunately, Sperbeck, aged 61, fell off the golf cart, hitting his head on the asphalt, according to KESQ-TV. This tragic event unfolded on a Saturday as they were leaving an after-party for Stagecoach, a well-known country music festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio nearby.

Reports suggest that Elway was driving the golf cart, although there is no evidence to suggest that he was being negligent when Sperbeck fell. A source informed ESPN that Sperbeck was seated in the passenger seat at the time of the incident.

The coroner’s office confirmed Sperbeck’s passing after he was pronounced dead early Wednesday at a Palm Springs hospital.

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office told KESQ that it is investigating the incident.

Elway won two Super Bowls during a 16-year NFL career, all with the Denver Broncos. He later served as Broncos general manager and executive vice president and then transitioned to a consultant role until his contract expired in March 2023.

ESPN contributed to this report.
