Former WKYC Graphic Artist Brian Chalmers Passes Away

Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of former WKYC graphic artist, Brian Chalmers, who passed away suddenly over the weekend.

Brian spent a decade as part our WKYC family and was responsible for many of the daily news graphics you saw on Channel 3 News.

As many of you know, Brian was also well known for his next generation work on the WMMS Buzzard logo that was originally brought to life by David Helton.

NEW INFORMATION (6/24/09):

The memorial service for Brian has been moved to the North Royalton Christian Church, 5100 Royalton Rd. (Rt.82) in North Royalton this Saturday, June 27, with visitation from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by the service at 1 p.m.

The church is just west of State Rd. (Rt.94) on the north side of Royalton Rd.
