Cardinals Provide Statement on Larry Fitzgerald Sr. Passing

The Cardinals weren't the only NFL team to publicly offer a message during this tough time for the Fitzgerald family, as the Minnesota Vikings posted their own statement:

“The Vikings organization is saddened by the passing of Larry Fitzgerald Sr., a distinguished journalist and trusted voice in Minnesota sports for nearly 50 years. Larry built relationships with players, coaches and staff members for each of the local teams and was recognized across the NFL, covering dozens of Super Bowls and other major events.

“Beyond his reputation in the media, Larry was a dedicated father and a community leader who cared deeply about the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. Our hearts are with Larry Jr., Marcus and the entire Fitzgerald family, as well as Larry’s friends and colleagues as they mourn his loss.”

Fitzgerald posted his own unique message on X after his father's passing:

"My father was a man of strength, love and encouragement," he said. "He opened countless doors for me and my brother. He believed in us and pushed us to pursue every opportunity with conviction, he was the rock of our family. He taught us that perseverance, hard work, and unwavering commitment are the foundations of a meaningful life and personal success. I will carry his love, words, and wisdom with me always."

The Twins also gave a touching tribute to Fitzgerald Sr. in their press box:

We send our condolences to the Fitzgerald family at this time.
