Paul Allen, Seahawks owner and Microsoft co-founder, dies at 65

Paul Allen, the owner of the Seattle Seahawks who became one of the richest people in the world after co-founding Microsoft, has died at the age of 65.

Allen revealed two weeks ago that he was battling non-Hodgkins lymphoma, although he released a statement that sounded optimistic and said he would fight the disease aggressively.

After buying the Seahawks in 1996, Allen earned a reputation as an owner who was willing to spend whatever it took to give his team the best chance to win, but who was also hands-off enough that he allowed the coaches and personnel executives to determine the best course for the team. The results spoke for themselves, as the Seahawks built a competitive roster and won Super Bowl XLVIII.

Allen’s sister, Jody Allen, released a statement on behalf of the family.

“My brother was a remarkable individual on every level,” she said.
