Apparently he had a heart attack at the Yum center a little while ago and has died.. Tragically sad.. He was a great ambassador to east Ky sports..
He'll be missed! He done so much for mountain basketball!
Biggest loss in Mountain Sports since the Big Dipper passed. Ira was such a nice man, and so knowledgeable about football and basketball in this region. He will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry about Mr. Combs' passing. He really was a great ambassador for southeastern Kentucky sports.
A sad day for mountain sports. Rest in peace.
The mountain lost a friend today. RIP my friend.:truestory:
Sure will miss you Big I. Super nice guy.
The mean streets of Jeff won't be the same without Ira grilling out and watching UK games on his patio.
RIP buddy
