Former WDIV reporter Chauncy Glover has died at the age of 39, his family confirmed.
Glover won Emmys with WDIV in 2013 and 2014 for best on-camera talent, live reporting, and spot news coverage.
After his time in Detroit, he spent eight years in Houston and then joined KCAL in Los Angeles. He had been co-anchoring the 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts at KCAL.
Glover started the Chauncy Glover Project in Detroit, a mentorship program to help teenagers. He met with junior high and high school students to empower them and enrich their lives.
His parents released the following statement:
We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy’s beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy,” the Glover family wrote in a statement. “He was more than a son and brother—he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community.
Chauncy’s compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams. His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him.
While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever
