CHICAGO -- Tim McCaskey, the Chicago Bears' vice president and the second-oldest of team matriarch Virginia and Ed McCaskey's 11 children, has died.
The Bears announced his death Sunday night. He had battled cancer the past 17 months.
In a statement, the McCaskey family says he was "as passionate, loyal, critical, analytical, committed and devoted a Bears fan as there ever was."
A University of Notre Dame graduate, he is survived by his four children, eight grandchildren, 10 siblings and his mother.
