Luis Sharpe, Cardinals Legend, Passes Away
The world of American football mourns the loss of Luis Sharpe, former left tackle for the Cardinals, who passed away at the age of 65. Sharpe, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, left an indelible mark on the franchise. Sharpe played his 13 seasons in the NFL with the Cardinals, both in St. Louis (1982-1987) and in Arizona (1988-1994). His dedication and talent made him a key figure for the team for over a decade. The news of his death was shared by his wife, Tameka Williams-Sharpe, through social media.Born in Havana, Cuba, Sharpe grew up in Detroit and was selected in the first round of the draft (16th overall) in 1982, coming from UCLA. Sharpe started in all 189 regular season games he played with the Cardinals and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 1987, 1988, and 1989. His legacy will endure in the memory of the fans and in the history of the team.With deep sadness and enduring love, I share that my beloved husband, Luis Sharpe, has passed away. His strength, love, and faith were a light to all who knew him. I am grateful for every moment we shared and for the many prayers and kindnesses extended to our family. Although my heart is heavy, I trust that Luis now rests in the eternal peace of God. Please continue to keep our family in your prayers.
Tameka Williams-Sharpe
