He went through some turbulent personal times with a soon to be ex-wife. He lived next door to my aunt. Was sad but hilarious. Yes, I witnessed it. May he rest in Peace.

Dave Ward passed away. Longtime iconic Houston newsman Dave Ward dies at age 86 Ward was on the air in Houston five decades. Credit: KHOU 11 Author: KHOU 11 Staff Published: 8:33 PM CST December 13, 2025 Updated: 8:40 PM CST December 13, 2025 Facebook HOUSTON - The Houston area has lost a broadcast news legend. Dave Ward, the longtime anchor at KTRK, Channel 13, has died at the age of 86, the station announced Saturday. Ward was on the air for more than 50 years in Houston, delivering the news to generations of Houstonians. According to his online bio, Ward was born in Dallas on May 6, 1939, and grew up in Huntsville, where his father was a pastor. David got interested in media while a student at Tyler Junior College. But it wasn't television at first. Ward broke into the business as a DJ for KGKB. www.khou.com/article /news/local/houston- dave-ward-dies/285-c e3a3b5b-341d-4b
 
Kittle : I wonder what the ghosts of Kay's Lounge (also RIP) think about Dave's passing? Dave is a Houston legend.

He, like Ron Stone before him, seemed a very affable guy. An "old school" journalist, for the most part, he reported the news in raw form - leaving conclusions to the viewers. It was always fun watching him try to contain a laugh after Marvin Zindler's sign-offs... "MAAAAAaaaaaarrrrvin Zindler, EYE-Witness News!"
