Danny Fox
KVKI 96.5 FM in Shreveport has announced the passing of radio personality. Danny Fox aka Kenneth Wayne Grimes.  His voice graced the area’s airwaves for decades.

During his radio career, he was heard primarily on the Home of the Legends KWKH 1130 AM, he was also the past program director of KITT-FM, now KXKS, Kiss Country 937, and continued on on air doing traffic as Lane Changer, Rocky Roads and the Tuff and Buff Traffic Guy on K945, 96.5 KVKI, Kiss Country 937 and News Radio 710 KEEL.

In a website tribute, KVKI posted, "When the building for our stations was originally built along the side of I-20 off of the Pines Road exit, it was understood that Danny was a part of the foundation. He was a part of our radio family and so much more....Danny might have been small in stature, but he had a big voice and an even bigger heart. Danny was a father, a husband, a dear friend, an animal lover and a master of Photoshop. You will be missed our friend."

  1. Although I had met Danny only a few times, he made a very big impression on me. When I saw him on Face Book and asked him to become a FB friend he accepted and I enjoyed his posts and commits extremely. Not only did I find him refreshingly honest but he never mixed words. I enjoyed him on the REAL KWKH. And will miss him dearly. May God give his family peace during these days of sorrow and from hear on our as his void will never be filled. God love each of you!

His honesty and straight talking carried over onto Face Book as did his humor. I will miss him much. May God give his wife and family peace during this time of sorrow. God bless each of you.
