Wait so Dwight's family just let Eddie D keep the ashes?

Dwight and his wifey started living there after his diagnosis.

Circle 10-21 on your #49ers schedule. The team will unveil a statue of Dwight Clark -- and Joe Monatana -- making The Catch when they host the Rams. That's also the game in which they'll wear their all-white throwback uniforms.

it better not be some fail statue like that Ronaldo one.

looks like they nailed it

I have a porcelan statue of the catch in my living room that shows Montana throwing and Clark catching with Walls trying to stop it. It still brings back the memories of sitting there in section 14 that day. Putting the statues of Clark and Montana in front of the stadium is perfect. I know a lot of people still hate the fact that they are in Santa Clara but they are really trying to do things right. The museum is first class and the seating angles are great. I know they still have an issue with the sun in early season games ( they did at Candlestick too ) but hopefully they will find a fix for that. Candlestick was cooler but they had the sun in the eyes going on there. People didn't complain much since they were always winning back then.

I hope the team will wear a #87 patch on the shoulder of the Jersey this year, we need to pay respect to an iconic figure that we all loved and respected

This +++++++.

Way more meaningful than alternate super hero uniforms for children.

They without a doubt will be wearing some type of patch.

c'mon Mayo..don't be writing checks you can't cash

What are you talking about?

Without a doubt they will be wearing a patch.. you got a link to this fact ?

you don't think they'll wear a patch in his memory?

i have no clue, other 9er greats (not as great as DW) have passed without anything.

I see us more of a statue or eternal flame being placed in or around the stadium

If our memories of Dwight Clark are not big enough, @49ers new memorial to #87 & The Catch features DC @ 120% of life size, weighing approx. 350 lbs. & standing 7' tall. Fitting for a man who was a true giant w/ a heart to match, dedicated to his teammates thru @goldenheartfund pic.twitter.com/M7KiSGXIgo

That statue is in the 49er musuem and it's measured to the exact height Clark caught the ball.
