San Francisco 49ers Legend Dwight Clark Is Dead 

San Francisco 49ers great Dwight Clark dies at age 61

San Francisco 49ers great Dwight Clark passed away Monday at the age of 61, his family confirmed.

Clark will be best remembered for his role in "The Catch," the game-winning touchdown reception at the end of the 1981 NFC Championship Game, which sent San Francisco to its first Super Bowl and ignited a dynasty.

Clark spent the entirety of his nine-year career with the 49ers. Clark ranks third and fourth in franchise history in receiving yards and receptions, respectively.

A two-time All-Pro receiver and two-time Super Bowl champion with the Niners, Clark was diagnosed with ALS, or Lou Gehrig\'s disease, in March 2017.

Around The NFL will have on Clark\'s legacy soon.

I’m heartbroken to tell you that today I lost my best friend and husband. He passed peacefully surrounded by many of the people he loved most. I am thankful for all of Dwight’s friends, teammates and 49ers fans who have sent their love during his battle with ALS. Kelly Clark.
