It’s with great sadness that we make this post announcing the passing of one of our beloved employees.

Charles Mattox passed away yesterday at his home after a courageous battle against pancreatic cancer. Just like the fighter he was, he fought long and hard during his illness.
Charles was an amazing reporter for the Kentucky News Group publications. Anyone that knew Charles, knew he ate and breathed the Kentucky News Group. He was a go getter and had a strong passion for the news. He prided himself on digging up the facts, even on those stories that might not make him so popular.
He loved writing about history and artifacts. His weekly column demonstrated his immense knowledge of Kentucky history, artifacts that he found while hunting, and so much more.
Charles left a legacy in the Kentucky rural areas that his family and co-workers can be proud of. He will be greatly missed here at the Kentucky News Group. We ask that you please keep Charles’ family and work family in your prayers during this difficult time of grief.
