Charlotte Radio Personality Ace & daughter Payton 

In a Facebook post, a Charlotte radio host thanked the The Ace & TJ Show family “for the outpouring of support”’ after the death of Ace’s daughter in a single-car crash in Mooresville.

WBTV 3 news reports Payton Cannon, 21, was killed when her vehicle ran off the right side of the roadand hit a tree, according to North Carolina Highway Patrol Troopers.

In the post, the family said they were “grateful” for all the support the received since the July 29 crash.

“In lieu of cards and flowers he asks that you make a donation to one of our two charities, Grin Kids and The Radio Family Charity. Ace doesn’t know that we’re changing the name of the Radio Family Charity to “Payton’s Promise.”

Payton was the daughter of David Cannon, better known as Ace from the Ace & TJ show that airs on WHQC Hits 96.1 in Charlotte.

Payton was the only person in the vehicle and she was wearing a seat belt. High speed was a contributing factor in the crash, troopers say.
