Urban Unrest

Longtime KPFT volunteer and producer of the Hep C Show, Dean Moore, has died. KPFT GM Duane Bradley writes:

Dean, and his loving partner Shelly Baker, were the co-producers of the ‘Hep C’ health program that aired monthly during the Open Journal slot. In addition, Dean and Shelly helped on many, many KPFT events from the Watermelon Dance to iFest to the live remote Roadhouse shows, backyard parties and more. Dean was a regular phone volunteer, especially during the Morning Mix, and was well-known for his lengthy conversations with callers to the pledge lines…

Dean has long struggled with his health problems and was forced into the hospital last week. His heart apparently could no longer take the strain, and he passed yesterday, Monday, March 24 at 5:30 p.m.

His heart was always strong and his love for KPFT and the Pacifica family profound and deep. His smile and laugh were contagious, as were his belief in the work we all came here to do through KPFT.

We will sorely miss him and his loving energy.

Services are pending and will likely take place at Forest Park in Webster on Saturday.

Condolences out to Dean’s family and friends.
