🕊️ In Loving Memory of Lenny Wilkins 🕊️

We pay tribute to the incredible life of Lenny Wilkins, who left us on November 9, 2025, at the age of 88. A Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Lenny passed away peacefully at his home in Medina, Washington.

More than just a legendary player and coach, Lenny was a steadfast supporter of our stations and our community. His passion for uplifting others and addressing important community issues made a lasting impact. We were honored to have him join us on-air with our radio personalities Frank P Barrow, Johnny Jordan, and the Game Time Sports crew, JB and KB, who had the privilege of having Lenny on their show several times.

Lenny’s warmth, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to making our community better will be deeply missed. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched.

Rest in peace, Lenny. Your legacy will live on through the countless lives you inspired. ❤️
