LA B-97 FM ‘Walton & Johnson’ Host John Walton Dies Suddenly Says Steve Johnson

BATON ROUGE, LA. (THECOUNT) — VIA Steve Johnson:

It is with great shock and sadness that I inform the Walton & Johnson audience of the untimely and sudden passing of John Walton.

His medical issues were too numerous to overcome. He had been receiving treatment over the last month but continued to suffer. He made the decision to return home yesterday and spend his last hours with his family. He went out on his own terms. John passed away last night around 11:55 PM – July 1st, 2019.

I will always cherish John as not only a partner but a dear friend. His wit and humor defined him as the unique individual we all knew him to be. He will never be replaced. He had a voice and he had something to say.

Your loyalty and support for him and his craft was always a mutual sentiment. John cared deeply for all of you. He loved to make you all laugh.

Please remember his family in your “thoughts and prayers”.

I am forever in debt to all of your for your support of our program. The show will return as soon as possible.

Sincerely, Steve Johnson.

  • This is awful news. So, he never left the hospital until recently to go home to die? That what it sounds like has happened. So, did he have colon cancer that spread and attacked other organs? So, were they treating him with radiation and chemo that ultimately killed him?
    Well, the show is over. We kept listening in the hopes he would return. Ken Webster is NOT a replacement that is tolerable and only for brief listening. I have no reason to listen any further as the duo is no more!
