Remembering Super Bowl Champion Matt Ulrich
We are saddened to announce the passing of former NFL player, Matt Ulrich, at the young age of 41. Ulrich, known for his time as an offensive guard for the Indianapolis Colts, left an indelible mark on the game of football.
A Championship Legacy
Ulrich’s talent and dedication were evident during his time with the Colts. In 2006, he played a crucial role in the team’s historic Super Bowl XLI victory, led by Peyton Manning. His contributions to that momentous win will forever be remembered in NFL history.
A Great Loss
Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, expressed his grief upon hearing of Ulrich’s passing. He said, “I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Matt Ulrich. Matt made a significant impact during his time with us. He was not only a great player and a Super Bowl champ but also a great dad. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
Beyond the Field
Ulrich’s life extended far beyond his football career. After retiring from the NFL, he co-founded DexaFit LLC, a company focused on body fat and metabolic testing. However, his true passion lay in being a family man.
A Loving Father and Husband
In his company bio, Ulrich highlighted his dedication to his family. “Keeping up with my four preteen sons is the highlight of my life and keeps me on my toes,” he wrote. As a father, he found immense joy and fulfillment in being present for his children.
Bozeman, Montana was not only a place to call home for Ulrich and his family but also a dream come true. In his company bio, he shared, “My wife and I always dreamed of raising our family in Bozeman, MT, but 20 years ago, there were far fewer professional jobs available.” Through his business growth in Montana, Ulrich created more job opportunities, enabling other families to pursue their dreams too.
The Untimely Departure
The cause of Matt Ulrich’s untimely passing remains unclear. We deeply mourn this loss and will continue to follow any developments pertaining to this tragedy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Matt Ulrich will be remembered not only as a Super Bowl champion but also as a loving father and a man dedicated to creating opportunities for others.
