(Cushing, Okla.) Today the Cimarron Valley lost its Voice. Sean Kelly, the Voice of the Cimarron Valley, died of injuries received in a car accident while doing what he did best – covering the news for KUSH. Sean was on the scene of what had been a huge grass fire on Wednesday afternoon when the vehicle he was driving was struck by a dump truck on Highway 33.
Sean was prepared to go on air live to report what he had seen so the community would know first hand what had happened. It was what he did – it was what he loved to do.
Sean literally grew up at KUSH and was one of the last small-town radio station owner/operators who could – and did – do everything at the station.
As a dear friend said, “Sean spent his entire life focused on his craft, family, and friends.”
His passing has left a huge hole in our world and in our hearts. He will be missed.
*Funeral services will be Wednesday, Feb. 5th, 2014 at 2 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Cushing, Ok.
