It was a voice people in Danville made part of their morning
drive to work. Tuesday morning, listeners heard condolences instead.
"(I'm) a good friend of Blake and I really thought the
world of him," a listener said as the radio allowed listeners to pay tributes
on air.
Blake Dalton, the mastermind behind his namesake show Blake
Dalton's Most Music Mornings on Country Legends 103.7 (WMPW 970 AM) and 104.5
The Dan (WWPN 1580 AM) died Monday night.
Family say it was related to a seizure. He was 24.
"Working with him was something that I looked forward
to everyday. I kinda feel like a police officer that lost his partner,"
said co-worker Justin Lloyd.
This news hit fans hard too. People brought flowers to his office,
and sat candles outside.
His radio career started in high school, six years ago, at
to WAKG, a country station in Danville, where he developed contacts with
country stars like Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.
