Fred Faour Died

[msbesq 388]

Longtime afternoon broadcaster on 97.5 in Houston. He was only 59.

I didn’t follow him much after he left FM 97.5. Was he sick?

I was literally addicted to his and AJ’s afternoon show.

RIP

From the Houston Chronicle story:

Patrick Faour, Faour’s younger brother, said Faour’s body was found at his apartment by Houston firefighters, who were called to the scene by a neighbor. He said his brother had been in ill health for several months, and the neighbor was making a routine check when his body was found.

“His health was failing, but he didn’t want people to know,” Patrick Faour said. “He worried about everybody else but didn’t want anybody worrying about him.”

I thought he moved to Arizona or Vegas? Could you remind me who his cohost was on 9.75? They were pretty damn funny for sports talk.

Listened to them regularly from about 2010-2016 when I lived in Houston and sports talk was my go-to.
