Red McCombs family announced on Monday, February 20, 2023, in a statement, “Red was a visionary entrepreneur who touched many lives and impacted our community in immeasurable ways, But to us, he was always, first and foremost, ‘Dad’ or ‘Poppop.’ We mourn the loss of a Texas icon.”
Billy Joe ‘Red’ McCombs was known as the Texas billionaire. He was the one-time owner of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings as well as the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and San Antonio Spurs.
