Christian radio host Rob Dempsey passed away at 57, just one week after he revealed to his fans that he had stage 3 bladder cancer. His radio station, HisAir, announced the news on Facebook. Dempsey had been with the station for 24 years. He died after experiencing cardiac arrest during emergency surgery. Many of his colleagues shared their sorrow and praised his leadership and positive influence.

Dempsey's journey in radio began when he was a teenager struggling with addiction. A youth pastor introduced him to Christian radio, which eventually led him to a life-changing moment. He heard Dave Stewart on the radio one night and found hope in his words. This inspired Dempsey to dedicate his life to Christ and pursue a career in radio.

Over the years, Dempsey battled with obesity and lost a significant amount of weight, showing his determination and resilience. He leaves behind his wife Amy, four children, and two grandchildren. His son, Spencer, expressed his gratitude for the support received and shared his hope in seeing his father again one day.
