Former Ravens Pres. David Modell's Funeral To Be Held Tuesday

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- David Modell, who served as president of the Baltimore Ravens from 1996-2004, passed away early Friday afternoon after battling cancer for almost two years at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was 55 years old.

David was the son of the team's former owner, the late Art Modell, who died in 2012. After his father moved the NFL franchise to Baltimore, David was very involved in choosing the team's colors, logo and uniforms.

His funeral services have been scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Baltimore Basilica.

Archbishop William E. Lori will be the celebrant and the homilist. Internment is private, but the family will receive friends, and Ravens fans at M&T Bank Stadium from noon til 3 p.m.
