VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Hampton Roads is mourning the loss of two familiar voices on the radio. This week, we learned of the passing of longtime on-air personalities Jeff Moreau and Mark McKay. The two were staples on airwaves across the area for decades.

McKay worked as a DJ and then program director at 97.3 The Eagle from 1999 to 2019, leaving the station to work for a Nashville-based record label. McKay also worked with us at WTKR News 3 for years, helping to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through his annual radiothon and our Dream Home giveaway telecasts. McKay passed away Sunday after a long battle with cancer. He was 55.

"I sincerely thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for letting me be a small part of your day (...) Good night, good luck, and God bless."

He was an accomplished pilot who built his own award-winning airplane. On Facebook, Moreau's brother said he was a true entertainer. "His wit, charm, and personality left a lasting impression on everyone he met." he added.

As of this posting, funeral and memorial arrangements have not yet been announced.
