Remembering Sean Adams

The staff of iHeartMedia Sports-Talk KVET (AM 1300 The Zone)/Austin continued to come to grips with the sudden and untimely death of Sean T. Adams, co-host of The Bottom Line morning show, who suffered an apparent heart attack and passed away last week at the unfathomable age of 46. A posting on the KVET website stated, simply: “Today, we have lost a dear friend and valued teammate… Sean Adams was an amazing colleague, an admired talent, and a respected member of our Austin family. Our hearts are grieving. We will miss him dearly, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.” Adams is survived by his wife, Karen, and two children: son Damon and daughter Alex.

Adams’ friend and co-host Chip Brown posted his own emotional tribute that began, “My heart is broken today. Hearts are broken all over Austin and beyond.” Brown wrote, “Sean and I were preparing to fly to Los Angeles Thursday night for the Texas-USC game when I learned of his apparent heart attack. I was devastated. I raced to the hospital and refused to believe he was gone. I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think. Sean lost his dad to a stroke, and I lost my mom to pancreatic cancer. We talked about our love for our lost parents a lot.

He continued, “I can hear Sean telling me — right now! — how important it is to reach out to loved ones all the time to tell them how much you love them and care about them. ‘It’s not enough to think it, Chip,’ he would tell me. ‘Pick up the phone and say it out loud.’ I’m saying it out loud right now — and I know you can hear me, Sean — ‘I love you.'” We urge you to please take a few precious moments and read Brown’s entire tribute.
