Former Oklahoma State All-American John Henry Ward dies
Former Minnesota Viking lineman was 64.
Ward loved to hunt. He suffered a broken leg in a Viking game. Two weeks later, his cast came off. Turns out Ward would go hunting with his broken leg. So doctors put him in an L-shaped cast so he couldn't walk.
“Bud Grant would come to Oklahoma and go hunting with him,” Brown said of the iconic Minnesota coach. “They spent a lot of time hunting together.”
After football, Ward ran a cattle ranch, managed a farm/ranch retail store, was elected a county commissioner and eventually became executive director for the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma.
In 2002, Ward became vice president of The Poultry Federation and director of its Oklahoma City operations.
Services are pending with Corbett Funeral & Cremation Services of Oklahoma City.
