Aris Hampers, a famous radio host, has just died at the age of 73. John Sinkevic, his friend, said Hampers died after a long battle with cancer. Aris Hampers became famous for his many radio appearances and many people praised him for his work as a presenter and music director. After his death, many fans and friends of the late actor quickly took to social media to express their condolences.
Aris Hampers has a malignant tumor on his windpipe.
Aris Hampers revealed in a Facebook post in December 2019 that he has been absent from the social network for about six months. He added that in February 2016 he noticed a difference in his voice and decided to seek medical help.
Notice read:
“He checked my throat and found nothing. I assume it’s aging and a normal transition for someone who’s spent most of his life ‘talking’ a career on the radio, not to mention I’ve smoked since my senior year of high school.”
According to Hampers, the situation got worse over the next three years. He describes getting offers to speak, requesting guest podcasts, and returning to the radio station for an all-afternoon shift. However, Aris Hampers said he turned down all offers because he believed his voice would “deteriorate over time”.
He revealed that there was a time when he couldn’t talk to anyone, even in a slightly noisy environment, and when he went for an ENT exam, they discovered a tumor behind his vocal cords. Hampers had a malignant tumor on his trachea, which was discovered after several examinations and surgery.
He say, “
“On the plus side, it’s a ‘non-invasive’ cancer, meaning it not only hasn’t spread to other parts of my body, but it also avoids the need for chemotherapy. On the negative side, the tumor has severely damaged the larynx/larynx and is irreversible. The only way I can live is to get rid of it.”
He added that he had to stay in the hospital for 14 days and the procedures were as expensive as a mid-sized home in the west. Hampers also mentions his mother’s death from cancer at the end of the article. “Thank you Aris, for all the memories,” the singers and fans said of the late radio personality. Singer Clark Boring paid tribute to Hampers on Facebook, posting a photo and calling his death a great loss.
He declared:
“If you’re a musician in Michigan, you know who this man is and chances are he’s had a positive influence on your live music, whether it’s because he played your song on the radio or your band played his music at The Orbit Room, or you just had a nice conversation with him about the history of music.”
Then he said:
“His voice is already legendary, but his impact on the music scene in the country is far greater. Thank you Aris for all the experiences and opportunities you have given me and my colleagues.”
Bruce Madden, a Facebook user, said he first met Aris in Grand Rapids many years ago and they reconnected at Believe In Music. Madden also said that he and Aris spent a lot of time talking about music. As news of Aris’ death spread, social media was flooded with condolences. They sent heartfelt letters mourning the death of a “radio legend”.
Aris Hammers became interested in music at an early age.
Aris Hampers, son of Peter and Vivian Hampers, was born on May 4, 1949. He became interested in music at a young age because he spent a lot of time in front of the gramophone and jukebox. Hampers is also a pianist and organist, as well as a composer. In 1976, he graduated from Ottawa Hills High School and also wrote and sang for The SoulBenders and Phlegethon.
He eventually made a name for himself as a host and music director on a number of radio stations, and also organized rock scavengers to provide opportunities for local bands. His brother Dean, nieces Viviana and Marisa, five nephews and great-grandchildren and cousins Maria, Jim, Helene and Andrew have survived him. The display will take place on February 9 at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, followed by a memorial service the following day. Anyone wishing to do so should send a donation to the American Cancer Society.
