(RightIsRight.co) – Beloved Christian co-host of “Rob and Lizz in the Morning” radio show Rob Dempsey died at the age of 57, just a week after revealing his battle with stage 3 bladder cancer.
Dempsey’s death from cardiac arrest came as a blow to his faithful listeners in Greenville, South Carolina.
For 24 years, he had been a stalwart voice of traditional values and faith on HIS Radio, touching countless lives with his humor and unwavering Christian perspective.
His wife, Amy, revealed that a blood clot in his lung had reached his heart, underlining the aggressive nature of his condition.
Despite losing 140 pounds in recent years, Dempsey had only noticed unusual symptoms in September, leading to his devastating diagnosis.
While battling the disease, Dempsey’s faith never wavered. He remained a beacon of hope and determination, vowing to fight for his family and continue his mission of spreading God’s word.
“Thankfully, I’m at peace today, knowing God is in control. The days ahead will be tough, and that’s ok. I am determined to be a dad there for his kids. I’m determined to be that grandpa who will watch them grow up, graduate and get married. I want to grow old with my wife who has been a rock through all of this junk,” Rob wrote in a post.
In addition, Dempsey’s impact extended far beyond the airwaves. Over nine years, he and Amy fostered numerous children, embodying the Christian values of love and service.
His commitment to family values was evident in his 33-year marriage, his role as a father to four children, and his role as a grandfather to two.
His journey to becoming a beloved Christian radio personality is a testament to the power of faith and redemption.
Overcoming a troubled youth marked by homelessness and addiction, Dempsey found inspiration in a local Florida Christian radio host, leading him to a career spanning over 35 years in Radio Training Network.
“He always had us laughing. His fingerprints are all over this place. He made such an impact to the community and to Greenville. We lost him but heaven gained such an incredible person. He’s celebrating with Jesus,” some of his colleagues expressed.
Rob Dempsey’s passing is a loss not just for Christian broadcasting but for all who believe in the power of faith to transform lives and communities.
