Before working with KCAL in Los Angeles, Glover was the first Black male lead anchor for Houston's KTRK, where he was on the air for eight years, according to KCAL.

The Alabama native worked in Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Texas before moving to California.

One of his accomplishments outside of his journalism career was founding The Chauncy Glover Project, a mentoring program designed to help “develop inner-city boys into upstanding and accomplished gentlemen,” according to its website. The program focuses on college readiness, etiquette, public speaking, financial responsibility and mental health awareness, among other topics.

“Chauncy’s compassion and commitment to helping others, particularly through the Chauncy Glover Project, have changed countless lives and inspired so many young men to pursue their dreams,” his family wrote in their statement. “His talent, his warmth and his vision left their mark.” Everyone who knew him and the world is bleaker without him.

“As we mourn this profound loss, we are comforted by the love and memories shared by those who knew Chauncy as the passionate, gifted soul that he was,” they concluded. “We respectfully request privacy as we mourn and honor his incredibleness.” Legacy. He was taken from us far too soon, but his influence will be felt forever.
