Ken Behring, the billionaire businessman who made his name as a real estate developer, died on Tuesday.
“We are saddened by the loss of former Seahawks owner Ken Behring,” The Seahawks said in an official statement on Friday. “We send our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Behring’s family and friends.”
Behring bought the Seahawks from the Nordstrom family in 1988. He owned the team until 1997, when he sold the franchise to Paul Allen for $200 million.
