He died in Montana??

And then there's this about the town of Joe, Montana:

Ismay is Montana's smallest incorporated city. In 1993 the town of Ismay was contacted by a radio station in Kansas City, Missouri with a special request for the town to consider changing the name of the town to Joe, Montana (quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs) for the duration of the football season. Ismay, population 22, agreed hopping to raise money for their volunteer fire department. Eight years later, they not only had enough money for a new fire truck, but enough to build a community center and fire hall around it. The town's name has since reverted to Ismay.
