My husband was a long-time listener of his. I’m just kind of stunned. My husband mentioned he had had medical issues, but we’re both wondering if that was what killed him.
Sorry for typo in headline. Should be “home”.
Medical issues and he was a victim of a home invasion a few years ago that really messed with him. All that on top of a lifetime of alcoholism was a bad mixture. His show was enjoyable and he will be missed.
Edit: I almost forgot to mention his foundation that gave money to the families of fallen police and firefighters in DFW. The Russ Martin Show Foundation. I have no doubt that will continue in his name as he made Dan and the boys involved to make it does.
Anything but COVID. Stat-killer. RIP!
If you and your SO are fans, don't dig into his past....condolences to his family.
I’ve read about things that happened in his past, such as the weapon’s assault, but nowadays and even back then it’s hard to know if the media narrative was true or was someone trying to tarnish his career. Not sure.
