Founder of KUIU Passes

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 09 05, 2018 •  [Post 1]

I’ve heard from a few folks this evening that Jason Hairston, KUIU founder has passed. Even worse, heard he took his own life. Please join me in sending thoughts and prayers to his family and friends as they try to come to grips with this terrible tradgedy. RIP Jason :(

I have seen people speculating that as well, but I have not seen anything official on how/why. One journal source reported he died on a back country sheep hunt.

Sad sad news all the way around.

Super bummer right there.. He knew he had symptoms of CTE brain injury, and that his football career was the cause of it. He did take his own life, that has been confirmed by family.

Very sad. It always is. It causes me to pause and wonder. I also thank the Lord that He knows all our pains and cares.
