Colts Announce Memorial Details to Honor Jim Irsay
Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, recently passed away.
He was a big part of the team and helped them win a Super Bowl.
The team is planning special ways to remember him, including a private memorial service for family and friends.

Many people, including other NFL figures, have shared their memories of him.
The team has also put out a video and story about his contributions to the team.

A private memorial service will be held on June 2 at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.
The Colts plan multiple tributes throughout the week to honor Irsay's legacy.
The family requested donations to Kicking the Stigma in lieu of flowers.
