Bears Mourn Loss Of NFL Owner
In a statement on Tuesday, the McNair family announced the death of Janice McNair, 89, co-founder and senior chair of the Houston Texans.
“Mom was exceptional. She exuded kindness, radiated joy, had an endless amount of hope and love, and lived an incredible life centered around faith, family, philanthropy and football,” Texans chair and CEO Cal McNair said.
“It’s impossible to describe the profound gratitude that my sisters, Ruth and Melissa, and I feel for having her as our mom. Outside of our family, nothing mattered more to her than her beloved Texans.”
The Texans were founded by Janice and her late husband, Bob McNair, in 1999. As a result of her husband’s death in 2018, she became the principal owner of the team. In 2024, Janice transferred ownership to her son, Cal.

An official statement was released by the Bears on social media following the death of McNair.
“The Chicago Bears are deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. Janice S. McNair,” the statement read. “Through her foundational support in the creation and leadership of the Houston Texans, and her trailblazing work in her community, Mrs. McNair created a legacy comprised of grace, kindness and love that permeated throughout the National Football League.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire McNair family, the Houston Texans and all who mourn the loss of Mrs. McNair.”
