Jamey Rootes first made his mark on Houston as the president of the Houston Texans, but his impact on the city spread far beyond the football stadium. His legacy in Houston sports and in our community is being remembered on social media.
Jamey Rootes had so many fans and friends. I feel terrible for Melissa and his children and his other family members. Such a tragedy! Rest In Peace, Jamey. Hopefully, you’ll see Bob McNair again soon.I was honored two months at a charity event for Be An Angel. Jamey Rootes sold most of the sponsorships and we raised $50,000 for Be An Angel. We couldn’t have done it without Jamey.
Very sad news to hear of former Texans team president Jamey Rootes' passing. He was a very nice guy who was deeply committed to the team and charitable efforts throughout the Houston area. Deepest condolences to his family. Rest in peace, JameyJamey Rootes was a GREAT guy. I always enjoyed my conversations with him and he was especially welcoming to me when I moved to Houston in 2018.
