David Kraddick Dies, An outpouring of grief and memories on Sunday followed the sudden death of David “Kidd” Kraddick, a nationally syndicated radio personality and “an energetic dynamo” with an incredibly generous spirit.

Kraddick, 53, hosted the locally based Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. The program is broadcast on Dallas’ “Kiss FM” KHKS-FM (106.1) and more than 75 stations nationally. It is also broadcast on the television show Dish Nation.

Kraddick died Saturday in New Orleans at a golf tournament for Kidd’s Kids, a nonprofit he started that sponsors trips to Disney World for chronically and terminally ill children.

Based on the results of a preliminary autopsy, Jefferson Parish Deputy Coroner Dr. Granville Morse says David “Kidd” Kraddick died of cardiac disease.

“His heart was enlarged,” Morse told The Dallas Morning News Monday. “You have several vessels, and three were diseased — the worst of which was 80 percent blocked. That combination, an enlarged heart and cardiac disease, when someone dies like this it’s usually dysrhythmia,” which leads to an irregular heartbeat.
