Kidd Kraddick has been the way New Orleans woke-up for over a decade. He was a gifted radio talent and a generous man. He will always be a part of B97 and we will miss him everyday. Our deepest sympathy to his family, especially his daughter Caroline, and to his on-air family of Kellie, Big Al, J-Si and Jenna.
Kidd Kraddick was in New Orleans on Saturday, July 27th and passed away at a hospital after leaving a golf tournament on the Westbank organized to raise money for his beloved Kidd’s Kids charity. His last hours were spent doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him.
