“BROADWAY” JOE BOOKER posted on FACEBOOK, “It is with a heavy heart that I speak about the loss of my dear friend, MARK ‘CHILLIN’ DYLAN. Our shared love for music and radio brought us together over 40 years ago at KWTD 106 ‘THE STATION THAT KICKS,’ and the bond we formed is something I will always cherish.”
“In life, you can count your true friends on one hand, and MARK was one of those rare, unwavering souls who always had my back—just as I had his. Everyone who knew us understood the deep friendship we shared. Losing him is truly painful, but what brings me comfort is knowing that one day, we will meet again in radio heaven.”
“MARK’s spirit, passion, and friendship will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Please know that I am here to support you in any way I can.”
