Kami Moon Obituary, Ohio — K96 and WLKR Radio Mourn the Loss of Beloved Broadcaster & “Cooking with Kami” Host
The Ohio airwaves have gone silent with heartbreak following the tragic passing of Kami Moon, a cherished voice of K96 and WLKR radio, and the spirited host of the beloved segment “Cooking with Kami.” Known for her unmistakable raspy voice, quick wit, and laughter that lit up every room—and every morning show—Kami’s sudden death has left a void in the hearts of her listeners, colleagues, and community members across the region.
Kami passed away unexpectedly in April 2025, and while the exact cause of her death has not yet been publicly disclosed, her memory lives on in every moment she shared with her devoted audience, who tuned in not just for the news or the recipes, but to feel like they were starting their day with a friend.
A One-of-a-Kind Talent
Kami Moon was not just a broadcaster—she was a force. For years, her voice graced Ohio radios with a unique charm that made her instantly recognizable and widely adored. Whether she was delivering the latest local updates, spinning classic hits, or whipping up comfort food on “Cooking with Kami,” she brought joy and authenticity to everything she did.
Her raspy voice, as iconic as it was comforting, became a staple of the morning commute for countless listeners. It wasn’t just the voice, though—it was the way Kami used it. Her commentary was sharp, her humor warm and familiar, and her ability to connect with people unmatched. Kami didn’t just host a show—she made every listener feel like part of the family.
A Community Mourns
The news of Kami’s passing has prompted an overwhelming outpouring of grief from fans, coworkers, and friends. Her colleagues at K96 and WLKR Radio shared heartfelt tributes, remembering her not only as an incredible professional but as a caring friend and vibrant soul.
“Kami brought energy, honesty, and soul to every broadcast. She was real. She was funny. And she loved her community fiercely,” shared one station manager. “We didn’t just lose a coworker—we lost a sister, a mentor, and a friend.”
Listeners took to social media to share their own memories, many recalling moments when Kami’s stories or laughter got them through tough mornings. Others remembered calling into her show and being greeted with kindness and genuine interest. For many, Kami Moon wasn’t just a radio host—she was a part of their daily lives.
“Just in Time for a Heavenly Morning Show”
One tribute beautifully captured the bittersweet pain of her loss, saying:
“Kami was just in time to use that raspy voice, that one-of-a-kind sense of humor, and that infectious laugh for a heavenly morning show broadcast.”
The idea that Kami’s spirit continues on, bringing joy and laughter wherever she is now, is a comforting thought to many who knew and loved her. The heavens, it seems, have gained a broadcaster of extraordinary light.
Her Legacy Lives On
Kami’s passion for community was evident far beyond the airwaves. She was a regular at charity events, supported local businesses, and had a deep love for the people she served every day. Her “Cooking with Kami” segment was more than just recipes—it was connection. A chance to gather, share stories, and celebrate the simple pleasures of life.
In honor of her legacy, K96 and WLKR plan to host a celebration of life event in the coming weeks, where fans, friends, and family can come together to honor Kami’s memory with the music, laughter, and kindness she always championed.
Details regarding services and memorial contributions will be announced by the station and her family in the days ahead. Tributes continue to pour in, and plans are already in motion to establish a Kami Moon Memorial Scholarship to support aspiring local broadcasters who embody the heart, humor, and authenticity that Kami shared so freely.

Kami Moon’s departure leaves an echo that will resonate in studios, kitchens, and radios for years to come. Her laughter may no longer bounce off the studio walls, but her spirit will never leave the station—or the hearts of those she inspired.
