Radio host Kidd Kraddick dies suddenly at 53
Popular national morning radio personality David “Kidd” Kraddick died Saturday near New Orleans where he was hosting a golf tournament to raise money for children.
“He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him,” Clear Channel radio wrote in a news release.
According to its Facebook page, his show “Kidd Kraddick in the Morning” is the most listened-to contemporary morning show in the United States. The show is also televised weeknights on “Dish Nation.”
“All of us at KISS-FM, Clear Channel Dallas, YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader,” Clear Channel wrote in the news release. “Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years, his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children.”
News of Kraddick’s passing spread quickly and with great sadness on social media networks.
“I feel like I have lost a family member...” Jessica Hall wrote on Facebook.
“Honestly, Kidd Kraddick would put me in a good mood before I went to school…” wrote Ben Bonatti on Twitter.
