The anchor and three-time Emmy award-winning journalist had spent eight years in Houston as the first Black male main anchor at KTRK.

Glover started working at KCAL in October 2023 until his time of passing. He began his professional journalism career with WTVM News in Columbus, Georgia, but his passion for the field ignited much earlier.

For Glover, journalism went beyond simply reporting the news as he referred to it as his “calling.” He viewed his role as an opportunity to use his platform for positive change, using storytelling and community involvement to make a meaningful impact.

Now, the people whose lives he impacted with his work as a journalist are mourning him and sending their love to his family.

Many fans remarked on the untimely passing, “Gone too soon🕊️,” with another concurring, “Another talented young man has gone too soon. May He rest in peace.” One fan reflected on the abrupt loss, “I’m in absolute shock. Chauncey was young and only at the beginning of his career.”

A fan also shared how much Glover’s presence meant, “So very sad. Way too young. I enjoyed watching him nightly.” Devasted fans were left reeling, like this one, “This is so shocking. I watched him last week and now he’s gone at a young age. RIP CHAUNCY GLOVER. My condolences to KCAL 9 families.“

Another viewer spoke of their deep sense of loss, “So sad, I really liked seeing him on the 8:00 p.m. broadcast. He will be truly missed. My condolences to his family, friends and coworkers.”

The journalist launched a mentorship initiative during his time at WDIV in Detroit. The inspiration came after he witnessed a young life lost on the streets. This led him to establish “The Chauncy Glover Project” (CGP).

As per the website, the project is a hands-on mentorship program aimed at guiding young men to become confident, responsible, and moral leaders.

The program covers a range of empowering topics, including dressing for success, manhood, etiquette, college readiness, tutoring, public speaking, and community service. Glover and his team of mentors met with young students in grades 7-12 twice a month for sessions focused on personal growth and enriching experiences.

Glover also had a deep love for theater, performing in several national and Off-Broadway productions. One of his most cherished moments was when he was invited to sing at the funeral of civil rights icon Rosa Parks in Montgomery, Alabama, a tribute that filled him with pride.

As a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated, he remained committed to uplifting others. Glover’s personal motto was, “Fear stops where faith begins.”

His dedication to his community was also acknowledged when he was named one of the Ambassadors of the Year for his work with Detroit’s youth.

Glover also earned recognition as one of Houston’s Top Black Professionals in the Top 40 under 40 list. The National Association of Black Journalists honored him with the Angelo B. Henderson Community Service Award. This accolade celebrates journalists who make a positive impact beyond their professional work.

Glover’s parents, Sherry and Robert Glover are devastated by his death. They wrote in a statement, ” He was more than a son and brother—he was a beacon of light in our lives and a true hero to his community.”

They noted that his work at CGP transformed and inspired the lives of many young men, adding, “His talent, warmth, and vision left an imprint on everyone who knew him, and the world is dimmer without him.”

Glover’s family also penned, “While we grieve this profound loss, we are comforted by the outpouring of love and memories shared by those who knew Glover as the passionate, gifted soul he was.”

The family requested privacy as they mourned and honored Glover’s incredible legacy. They said that though he was taken from them far too soon, his impact will endure.
