Pete Carroll Memes Flood Twitter After Super Bowl XLIX

A 53-year-old Washington resident by the name of Michael Sven Vedvik passed away on Monday, and his family thinks Pete Carroll's ill-fated play call was what sent him shuffling off this mortal coil.

Check out his obituary from Spokane's local paper, The Spokesman-Review:

"Michael Sven Vedvik went to see our Lord Jesus on February 2, 2015 at his home in Kent, WA. Born on December 26, 1961 in Spokane, WA. Michael is survived by his wife Stephanie; daughters Alisha Vedvik, Brittany Mullins (husband Matthew), Chelsea Vedvik; stepdaughters Michelle and Sandy Gaughan; grandson Jayce and granddaughter Layla; father Sven Vedvik, mother MaryAnne Solberg (stepfather Gary Solberg); sisters Tina Piper and Kathrene Peters (husband Dan) and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Michael attended Rogers High and Spokane FallsCommunity College. He was a small business owner in Kent, WA and loved hisfamily, work, clients, traveling, the Seahawks and life. We blame the Seahawks lousy play call for Mike’s untimely demise. Mike was greatly loved and will be dearly missed."

That's a tough way to go out, folks.

With less than a minute remaining and just one yard to go for the game-winning score, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll elected to throw the ball on second down rather than hand off to star running back Marshawn Lynch. Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler anticipated the coming play and was able to jump the passing route, securing the interception and the Super Bowl victory for New England.
