Los Angeles CBS affiliate KCAL is mourning the loss of a beloved anchor.
Chauncy Glover, an Emmy-winning journalist and evening anchor for the network, has died, his family shared. He was 39.
“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 to KCAL. “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 family went on to celebrate his work outside of the newsroom, including The Chauncy Glover Project, the mentorship program he created—after witnessing the death of a teen while on assignment in Michigan—for young men in underserved communities that helped them dress for success and become, as he said on the organization’s website, “moral leaders of society.”
And it is that passion for building community is what his family sees as his legacy.
