Hospice patient’s final life wish comes true at Colts game 
WISHTV.com-8, Indianapolis, IN; by Kyla Russell; 9/8/24 
Indianapolis hospice patient Calvin Simmons is terminally ill and had one final life wish: to attend a Colts game. “It was one of those things that you say, ‘I gotta do this, I gotta do this,’” Simmons said Saturday morning. “My dad used to tell a story about me being about three years old, running back and forth in the house wearing a Colts helmet.” The Marine veteran lives at the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home on the northeast side of the city. The home is run by nonprofit Morning Light, Inc. and offers end of life care for free to those in need. The lifelong Colts fan started his day out in his decked out Colts hospice room. Soon enough, his dream came true when he traveled to Lucas Oil Stadium to see the Colts face the Texans for their season opener.
