You know, we who grew up with the 49ers, suffered with them for so many years in the 50's, 60's and 70's, we have a special appreciation for DC. His persona was absolutely the example of what it is to be a hero. In fact, those 49ers teams of Walsh and Seifert and DeBartolo will never be forgotten. They glued the Bay Area together with their excellence.

He was a good looking man, RIP🙏 ALS claimed the life of my Aunt❤️She was a great doctor❤️RIP to both 🙏

God bless you, Dwight. #87 Forever!

I'm glad I am old enough to have seen Dwight play. He and Joe were the start of a Dynasty. Man those were fun times!

I am Canadian from Montréal Québec and my 49ers come before my hockey team......... Dwight you made me a 49ers fan for life thank you D.C.

Clark was great. Very underrated. Clark had a knack of making big plays in big games.

What a tribute to be buried by the goal post where he made The Catch and how classy of Eddie to do that on his property.

Eddie was a good owner and appreciated his team unlike some others who are always on a power trip.

Tony B Edd D treated his players and office workers like family. Montana even say Eddie D loved his players and family office workers. Eddie D even done things people don’t know about because he did it from his heart.

@@muffs55mercury61 you watch all the clips from players when Ed Debartolo still Owned the team? Every player called him the best owner in the NFL every player and he knows how to make players welcome

A great player who helped take us to the promised land of dynasty football. But an even better person sounds like. A cure for ALS can never come sooner. Prayers all and RIP DC.

How come no one talks about him ??? He was one of the best

Great football player but even better human being RIP sir

Not only was Dwight a great football player, he was also a very good and decent person. When the 9ers has their spring training in northern California near the Marysville/Yuba City area he learned about a handicapped young man who was a big fan of the team. Brad had never walked a day in his short life. One time while he was in one of his far too often admissions to a hospital, Dwight visited him. That visit was the highlight of my close friend's son's life.

Dwight was definitely blessed, he was on the right place to receive God's Blessing. He was there in the scout when Bill Walsh was trying Steve Fuller, He was on the right place when Montana threw the ball so he could catch it. He is now in the right place in heaven coaching angels on receiving God's Passes. Thank you Dwight, great players like you made me the football fan I am today. I will not change football for nothing !! Amen.

Right. Don't forget that Joe missed a wide open Fred Solomon before this play giving DC the chance to be the hero. Nobody knew how fortunate he was more than Dwight himself. Even as he was wasting away he scoffed at anyone who might feel sorry for him He was the true " luckiest man alive".😣

I saw "The Catch" as it happened...huge 9er fan and Dwight fan. Great person and a true inspiration to millions. Do Rest In Peace, Hero.

By all rights he should have been in long ago.

Clark broke my heart with the catch. I was 11 years old. It’s heartbreaking to see what happened to him but he was loved and surrounded by friends and loved ones till the end. RIP Mr. Clark.

To all responsible for this touching tribute to someone who has brought inspiration and joy to so many, I sincerely thank you. As a inner fan from the early 70's, I remember the catch , to this day, like it happened 5 minutes ago. For all inner fans, it was the transcendent moment in time that never grows old. Its great to know, that Dwight was ever more inspiring off the field. Thanks to all that shared your memories. Love and prayers to all. And Dwight, if you cross paths with my dad in heaven ,a lowly copyboys fan, remind him who you are, what you did, and that you actually played with god.

It was exiting to see him play.thank u for the memories Dwight clark made watching football very fun thank u so very much for making that catch to beat the cowboys I will always remember u God bless u and ur family.

Man, what can you say about Dwight Clark. He was a hero and a good human being

Dwight Clark was awesome PERIOD!!!

A lot of other receivers would have bobbled the ball and lost it. He was among the best that ever played. RIP

This was a well done piece on Dwight.

OMG what a nice video. RIP Dwight. In our thoughts for ever. He was born to be a 49er.

Rip Dwight Clark 1957-2018

Damn, he was really good looking. I can barely get through these documentaries without breaking down. It is so moving to see how Mr. D and all the niners rallied around him til the end. RIP

He was blessed with looks, charm, talent and LUCK! Which is what makes his decline so poignant and yet not tragic

Thank You < Dwight!

Huey Lewis said it. "the Catch" changed our team and our lives. They went from perennial losers to winners in that singular moment of greatness. I have much more respect for players and their families and I'm a little more humble.

RIP thank you Dwight

Thank U so much for this wonderful Video on this great man in sports God Bless his family and friends all sports fans around the world ♥️

Classy gorgeous talented man

Wow! Bill Walsh goes to see Clemson QB Steve Fuller workout and Dwight Clark who didn't have much of a career at Clemson is running routes and catching passes for Fuller and makes an impression on Walsh who drafts him in the 10th round. I think today's draft is six rounds. Clark was one of the first big, fast WRs at 6'3". Another Wow! is the city of San Francisco Parks & Recreation Dept. owned and managed Candlestick Park. Eddie D. got city property (the goal post from The Stick from 1982) to put in his yard. Smooth, extra smooth.

We love you Dwight.

There will never be another!!!!!!!

I love Dwight and his 49ers.

SF’s HERO always ……Eddie D as WELL 💞🕊️❤

“You know, they don’t call it “the throw.” Dwight Clark

His friends and loved ones say it all without using one interview clip from Dwight. It is easy to see why they all loved him so much.

Thank you. Awesome story.

Glad my girlfriend went shopping. This was tough to watch. Such a great player, but more importantly, he was just a class guy.

Most sudden sports death of 2018. I never heard he was that sick until his passing. At least some of his games are preserved on film for us to watch.

Haiku for Dwight Clark ( " The Catch") I can see him now Ascending to the heavens In the bright Twilight.

1:52 "he was a man playing with boys" **spits out coffee**

Such a beautiful story about a hero s' life from team mates who are also great hero s'. May God bless you'al.

Wow!.powerful emotional a really good look into a super nice humble guy someone that had a quiet strength! I remember watching that game very clearly we were a poor family struggling in ca on a very foggy day a hundred miles from there watching the catch lol it made situation a lot better I guess it just lifted our spirits up RIP!

It's hard sometimes to keep one's faith. We're told everything happens as part of God's plans but I often see just some of the worst kinds of people doing all sorts of unconscionable things & these people often live very long destructive lives. Then I see a man like Dwight & he's taken at age 61. Like I said I struggle with faith. I hope someday it'll all make sense.
