Longtime conservative radio host Matt Patrick has died of cancer at the age of 58.
Patrick, who most recently hosted a morning show on KTRH-AM in Houston, died Sunday from esophageal cancer. Patrick was diagnosed with the disease in September 2015, according to the Houston Chronicle.
On July 5, just days before his death, Patrick took to the airwaves to announce he no longer would seek treatment for the illness. Instead, he told his listeners, “It’ll be up to God.”
“There will be no more fighting. There will be no more going back to the hospital. It’ll be up to God. Whatever God decides to do, that’s what I will do,” Patrick said.
