R.I.P.: Former KLOL Houston Morning Host Jim Pruett


Jim Pruett, one-half of the legendary "Stevens & Pruett" duo on Houston's former then-Rock KLOL 101.1 FM, has died, according to social media posts early Saturday.

The Houston Chronicle reports Lanny Griffith, who delivered traffic reports on KLOL, posted on Facebook that Pruett, a DJ-turned-gun store owner, died on Friday afternoon at the age of 72.

Pruett was a star on KLOL, a hard-rock landmark in Houston before it changed formats in 2004. It debuted on Houston's FM dial in 1970.

Its lineup featured Pruett, Mark Stevens, Griffith, Brian Shannon, Martha "The News Muchacha" Martinez and sports director Barry "The Mouth" Warner

Stevens, Pruett's partner at KLOL for more than 25 years, died in 2011 from complications of Alzheimer's disease at 76.
