Dan was an integral part of our organization for 35 seasons, and his work as executive producer of the Chiefs Radio Network helped bring the game to life for millions of listeners across Chiefs Kingdom,&#8221;\u00a0Hunt said, via the Chiefs&#8217; official website. &#8220;Dan was dedicated, he was kind, and he brought joy into our building each day. Through his battle with cancer over the past ten years, these qualities served as an inspiration to his coworkers and Chiefs fans alike. We will certainly miss him, and we will keep his family in our prayers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fellow radio station managers and listeners are also sending in their prayers via social media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re heartbroken over the passing of Dan Israel\u2014an NFL broadcasting legend &amp; Hall of Fame producer.

He\u2019s been part of the Chiefs Radio Network since 1989, so many of us don\u2019t remember Kansas City games on radio without him. No one took more joy from their work than Dan.
