The Nye County Sherrif was asked to NOT announce Art's passing by his wife, until an appropriate time. Airyn did not want the media exposure until she was ready. In fact some family members were not even notified. Why would Nye County Sherrif publicize Art's passing until the family was ready? They are a disgrace to the community and an assault to privacy. Those of us in Art's inner circle had a plan to inform the family and fans of Art's passing in an appropriate manner, and they took this away from us. Shame on Nye county sheriff department.

It appears they had wanted to control the narrative on this. The "inner circle" wanted to have control of his death announcement. As a public figure, it was going to come out whether they wanted it out or not and cannot be controlled through one "official" site. Art belonged to all of us as our radio voice in the night.
I think once the leak happened with the news, the Sheriff's Dept. was overwhelmed with calls on it. Everyone I heard last night on C2C mentioned calling the Sherriff's dept., so I would imagine they decided a public statement would help. It is part of the public record, after all.Why would the Sheriff do that ?
The good news is the shows will live on. One of my favorite stories is the night Art crazy glued his lips together!A sad day. I’ve been listening to old Art shows for the last couple of days. Sitting here in my truck listening, now.
