Donna Himes, operation manager at Forever Broadcasting and program director for Froggy 98, said in a statement that Kelsey is "irreplaceable," as he influenced people through both radio hosting and outside gigs as a DJ.

"He not only was our beloved morning announcer. He was part of weddings and teen dances spanning several generations, and loved community service and visiting the 'tadpoles' in schools," Himes said. "Our hearts are broken."

Kelsey "continues to give back generously to his community" through organ donation, his family said in a statement. Kelsey's family said it wishes to thank everyone for their love and support.
