Tragedy Strikes ‘Ace & TJ’ Family
• Our thoughts and prayers go with David “Ace” Cannon, half of the syndicated Ace & TJ Show, who is dealing with the unimaginable loss of his daughter — 21-year-old Payton Cannon was killed in a car accident late Wednesday night.
According to WSOC-TV, the accident happened just after midnight Wednesday in Mooresville, NC. Troopers said Payton Cannon was driving a 2020 BMW at a high rate of speed when the vehicle went off Brawley School Road at Lightship Drive and hit a tree. She died at the scene. Officials said a fire crew returning from a medical call around the same time happened upon the crash.
A Facebook post from Ace’s co-host TJ reads, “Dear Radio Family, Our show has experienced a heart wrenching blow. Ace’s daughter Payton was taken from us in a single car accident last night. As you can imagine, we are all devastated, but Ace and his family are especially in desperate need of your prayers. We have always shared our lives with you during laughter and sadness, so we wanted to give you the information before you heard it somewhere else. We will keep you updated as much as possible. Thank you for your constant support. We appreciate it more than you could possibly know.” [Photo from Instagram]
