Dan Israel, the executive producer of the Kansas City Chiefs Radio Network and a beloved figure within the organization, has died after a decade-long battle with cancer. Israel, who served the Chiefs for 35 seasons, was a pivotal figure in the growth of the network, which now boasts affiliates across 12 states.
Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt expressed deep sorrow over Israel's passing, noting his enduring dedication and kindness. “Dan brought joy into our building each day and inspired his colleagues and fans with his resilience against cancer,” said Hunt. “He was a cornerstone of our organization, and his absence will be profoundly felt. We extend our heartfelt prayers to his family during this difficult time.”
