My heart is broken. My good friend Pat Ebertz left us too soon on Christmas night. Pat was with the morning show from the beginning in 1993. He was the kindest, most-thoughtful and caring soul you could ever meet. I always joked that when most of us ask “How are you?” we are just being polite. Pat would ask and he would actually care! If you listened to Pat on KDWB back in the day, you remember what a bright spot he was on the show. Up for anything, (I’ll never forget he crossed the railing at Niagara Falls once just to hold the phone so we could hear the roar. And yes, he got arrested) always funny, always helpful. Anyone who worked with Pat will never forget his huge personality and how incredibly messy his desk was. Pat loved everyone and everyone loved Pat. You will be missed, my friend.

The radio community mourns Ebertz’s absence, but his family mourns his life. Local radio stations across Minnesota have paid tribute to him, praising his comedy talents and authenticity.
