Video tributes from across the US
"We, Sherry and Robert Glover, along with Chauncy's beloved family, are devastated by the unimaginable loss of our beloved Chauncy. He was more than a son and brother - he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community. Chauncy's compassion and dedication to helping others, especially through the Chauncy Glover Project, changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams. His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him," the family said in a statement. "While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul he was. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn and honor his incredible legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his impact will be felt forever."
Glover, who left Channel 13 in Houston in August 2023, joined CBS Los Angeles in October 2023 as co-anchor for “KCAL News on CBS Los Angeles” alongside Pat Harvey at 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. and the 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts on KCAL with Suzie Suh.
Glover was an anchor for KTRK for eight years. He started as a weekend morning anchor in 2015 and later transitioned to weekdays to launch the 3 p.m. newscast. In 2020, he was promoted to weeknight co-anchor.
Before Houston, Glover was a reporter at WDIV Local 4 Detroit. During that time, he founded the Chauncy Glover Project, a non-profit organization offering mentorship programs focused on education, manhood, and self-empowerment for Black and Latino male youth. The inspiration for CGP stemmed from a difficult moment when Glover reported on the tragic death of a high school student who was fatally shot while attempting to rob his school’s basketball coach.
The three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist's love for television news began in childhood when his father built an anchor desk in their living room. Young Chauncy would eagerly report family news every Sunday after church, sparking his lifelong passion for journalism.
A graduate of Troy University, Glover previously worked at WTVM News Leader 9 in Columbus, Georgia, and later at Action News Jax (CBS 47 WJAX and Fox 30 WFOX) in Jacksonville, Florida.
Waco-Temple-Killeen evening television anchor Kris Radcliffe of KCEN 6 died last week.
