Jim Irsay is stepping up to support two families when they need it most.
The Indianapolis Colts confirmed Tuesday that team owner Irsay will pay for the funerals of both linebacker Edwin Jackson and Uber driver Jeffrey Monroe, according to Dakota Crawford of Indy Star.
Jackson and Monroe were killed Sunday after Monroe stopped on the side of the interstate to tend to Jackson, who'd become ill. The pair were struck by a drunk driver, who was later determined to be living in the country illegally and without a valid driver's license.
The driver, Manuel Orrego-Savala, was arrested after trying to flee the scene, and is being held in county jail.
