NFL stars show out for Pat Bowlen’s funeral service
Pat Bowlen’s private funeral services will be held this morning in Denver. Many NFL greats (current and former) are expected to be there.
Today will be another sad day for Broncos country, as today will be the day for final goodbyes for longtime owner Pat Bowlen.
Private funeral services will be conducted this Monday morning at a church in South Denver.
Mike Klis expects a large attendance, full of NFL ownership and former and current coaches and players.
Pat Bowlen was the first NFL owner to reach 300 wins, and now he has accomplished a less exciting ‘first’- first Hall of Famer to pass away between being elected and actually being inducted.
Broncos Country — we know this is disheartening and frustrating. Mr. B deserved to be elected years ago, long before his death. Mr. B deserved to be elected before he was swept away by the cruel Alzheimer’s disease.
He deserved to be elected when he could enjoy it. As disappointing and sad as this may be, take some comfort in knowing that he is finally in, and that his legacy will be remembered and talked about for generations to come.
A star-studded cast is expected to show out to remember the great Pat Bowlen on this Monday morning.
9News’s Mike Klis reports that the likes of Peyton Manning, Mike Shanahan, Gary Kubiak, John Fox, and John Lynch will be in attendance today to remember their former employer. Although he never worked with Bowlen, Vic Fangio has also traveled from Baltimore to attend the services.
Nicki Jhabvala has reported that notorious Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is in attendance.
As the day continues on, I’m sure we will hear of more important NFL figures in attendance, inside and out of the Broncos organization. He was a staple to the entire NFL and I’m sure that many will come to pay their final respects to a man who gave so much to the organization.

There is a big question mark over who will take over ownership of the Broncos. However, let’s put that speculation to bed for the day and take this time to honor the great Pat Bowlen, whose ashes will be transported to his final resting place in Hawaii following the services.
Godspeed, Mr. B.
