We are sad to learn about the passing of longtime Jackson County Legislator and advocate Fred Arbanas. His contributions to the county are too long to list here. He was a great man who will be dearly missed. Jackson County Dems (@jaxcodemocrats) April 17, 2021
He was a member of the Dallas Texans team that won the AFL championship in 1962 and the Chiefs teams that appeared in Super Bowl I in 1967 and won Super Bowl IV in 1970. He retired after the subsequent 1970 season, completing a nine-year career in which he had played in every game from 1962 through 1969 and he started in all but two of them.
