WDBJ7 remembers former sports reporter Zac Glover

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) – WDBJ7 is mourning the loss of former Sports Reporter and Anchor Zac Glover, who passed away at the age of 39.

Glover covered sports teams and events for our hometowns from 2014 to 2018, including Friday Football Extra.

He excelled in storytelling, taking home an Outstanding Feature Reporting Award from the Virginia Association of Broadcasters and two Meritorious Awards from the Virginias Associated Press Broadcasters in 2017.

“He is one of those guys who will do anything that you ask and he always has a great attitude,” said former WDBJ7 News Director David Hughes.

Glover left WDBJ7 in 2018, when he moved back to his home state of Kentucky to be closer to family as he pursued a career in finance.

This past weekend, Glover passed away after battling cancer. He leaves behind many friends and family who will miss him dearly.
