A beloved radio personality for longstanding Wichita Falls country music radio KLUR 99.9 FM has died.
Scotty Preston, also known as Scotty P, died on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, from complications due to cancer. He was 64 years old, according to a report from Texoma.
According to Scotty Preston’s official Facebook page, he had spent time in and out of Hospice care since August 2022 following a diagnosis of brain cancer in 2021. He was originally diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer in 2016.
Six months after successful treatment, Preston learned cancer had spread into his lung that was declared terminal. Following a lungectomy, he was declared cancer-free in 2020.
Just a few short months after returning to the airwaves in April 2021, Preston was given yet another cancer diagnosis, this time in his brain. After a craniotomy and MRIs in late 2021, Preston and his family learned in January 2022 that the tumor had returned and was more aggressive than the previously removed tumor.
Despite his diagnosis, Preston remained on-air on KLUR for several months, until he was no longer able to do so.
