Chauncy Glover, award-winning journalist and news reporter, has suddenly passed away at 39.
Glover was a part of the KCAL team where he co-anchored with Pat Harvey at 5 pm and 11 pm. He also worked at 8 pm and 10 pm with Suzie Suh for the last year after joining last October.
His family announced his passing, writing, “We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy’s beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy. He was more than a son and brother- he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community.”
Glover’s cause of death has not been disclosed. In one of his last Instagram, Glover posted a video on Instagram where it highlighted his most memorable moments with KCAL. “Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going! My first year #LA on #kcalnews #cbsla in the books! God is good!” his caption read.
Reports state that one of Glover’s accomplishments was the founding of the Chauncy Glover Project. A mentoring program “created to help develop inner-city teenage boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen.”
The statement also said, “Chauncy’s compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams. His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him.”
It continued, “While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was,” they concluded. “We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
