KSIB News Director Brad Heinrich was found dead in his home Wednesday morning.
Creston first responders were called to Heinrich’s residence approximately 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and Heinrich was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Brad was a very dedicated employee and had a passion for radio,” said Chad Rieck, KSIB general manager. “He was so dedicated that one day this winter when his car wouldn’t start, he walked over two miles to work and still made it on time. Although his time was short with us at Creston Radio, he fit in from day one. Brad will be missed dearly and our thoughts and prayers go out to his parents and sisters in Wisconsin.”
According to initial reports, Heinrich died of natural causes.
The 34-year-old Heinrich joined KSIB Creston Radio as news director June 24, 2010.
A native of Prescott, Wis., he received his degree in radio broadcasting in April 2010 from Brown College in Mendota Heights, Minn.
Funeral services are pending in Wisconsin.
