An obituary that appeared in The (Spokane) Spokesman-Review describes him as a small business owner in Kent, Washington, who loved his family, his work and the Seahawks. The obit also blames the Seahawks’ “lousy play call for Mike’s untimely demise,” which Stephanie Vedvik says was a joke meant to cheer up her husband’s loved ones.
“He was his own person, and he would have loved it,” Vedvik said. “We have gotten a little criticism, but it was an obituary just meant for our family and our friends, and it was meant to lighten it up for us.”

“He would have loved being famous for 15 minutes. He loved the Seahawks, and he had a great sense of humor,” she said.
CNN reached out to the Seahawks for comment but was unsuccessful. Michael Vedvik’s funeral is set for Saturday at a church in Mead, Washington.
