WXYT Morning Host Jamie Samuelsen Dies At 48 From Colon Cancer

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 07:49 PM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/1...-colon-cancer/



Entercom Sports 97.1 The Ticket WXYT-FM Detroit announced that morning host
Jamie Samuelsen passed away this evening from colon cancer at the age of 48.

Samuelsen joined WXYT-FM in January 2013 to co-host nights with Bob Wojo
Wojnowski. He then moved to mornings alongside Mike Stoney Stone and Sara
Fouracre (later succeeded by Heather Park) in September 2016. Before
joining WXYT-FM, Samuelsen co-hosted mornings at 1130 WDFN and 94.7 WCSX
and was Sports Director for 101.1 WRIF. He also was part of WJBK-TVs
Detroit Lions coverage and wrote for The Detroit Free Press.

He was diagnosed with colon cancer in January 2019, but only went public
with the diagnosis this past Monday. He told listeners, Each morning since
my diagnosis, I got up, turned on the radio mic and got to talk sports. I
needed the escape from cancer, just like so many of our listeners who face
hardships, grief and illness, too — they turned to us in the morning for
some levity in this crazy world. So I wanted to continue to have fun and
not let cancer get in the way of doing what I loved.

Samuelsen is survived by his wife, Detroit Public Television anchor Christy
McDonald and their three children.

I am heartbroken by the passing of my great longtime friend and radio
partner Jamie Samuelsen. He was one of a kind. Smart, kind and had a great
sense of humor. He battled this for over 19 months.I will miss him dearly.
Love you always James K.

You want to know how tough Jamie Samuelsen was? He was diagnosed with colon
cancer 19 months ago, and he never got one damn break. He fought like hell
and the cancer wouldnt let up. Not for one minute. But he never wanted
people to know until the end. Incredible strength.
