BOISE -- Former local radio show host Austin Hill died Friday.
Hill hosted a conservative afternoon talk show on KIDO and was the founder of the program "Austin Hill's Big World of Small Business."
His family released a statement saying Hill passed away "unexpectedly," and that doctors believe a cardiac issue was the cause of his death.
"As a follower of Jesus, Austin's faith permeated and influenced all aspects of his life," Hill's family wrote in a press release. "He was committed to speaking the truth and engaging people in thoughtful conversation. In addition to writing and public speaking, Austin had a national radio presence with dedicated listeners across the country. Most importantly, he was a loving husband, and as his son describes him, an avid father."
Details about a memorial service for Hill will be posted on his Facebook page.
The family has requested donations be made to a college fund for Hill's son Graham, a high school senior, in lieu of flowers. To donate, click here.
