*Emmy Award-winning journalist and KCAL News anchor Chauncy Glover has passed away at the age of 39.

ABC 7 reports that he joined KCAL News in October 2023 after an eight-year career in Houston, where he became the first Black male main anchor at KTRK. 

“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.” 

A native of Athens, Alabama, Glover founded The Chauncy Glover Project to mentor and empower teenage boys. Glover hosted bi-monthly sessions for middle and high school boys, offering guidance and enrichment activities. After moving to Houston, he continued the program, which has helped over 350 boys of color attend college and mentored more than 1,000 young men.

“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 family wrote. “His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him.” 

ABC13 Houston wrote in an X post, “We’re heartbroken to share that former ABC13 anchor Chauncy Glover has passed away at the age of 39. Chauncy was part of our team for nearly nine years before moving to LA last year.”

Glover’s career included roles at WDIV in Detroit, WTVM in Columbus, Georgia, and CBS 47 and Fox 30 in Jacksonville, Florida. He earned three Emmy Awards and several other professional accolades throughout his career. His cause of death has not been revealed.

“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,” the family wrote. “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.”
