GARY WILKINSON

1972 - 2022

Gary Wilkinson was a radio presenter and content developer living and working in Durham in the North East of England.

He sadly passed away on Friday 28th of October 2022 at the age of 50 following a short illness.

He spent over thirty years working in the UK commercial radio industry, presenting programmes on radio stations such as Sun FM, Wear FM, Atlantic 252, TFM, Metro Radio, Wyvern FM, Galaxy 102, and Power 92 in Edmonton, Canada.

During his time at Atlantic 252 in Ireland, where he was known by his alter ego Pizzaman, he broadcast to a national audience in the hundreds of thousands, and was a master of weaving phone calls, music and station production together with  dynamic flair and a unique style.

He was a  true radio star in every sense of the word, with enthusiasm for the craft and a determination to be the very best he could be every time he opened the mic.

Thoughts and deepest condolences are with Gary’s family and friends.

Rest well Gary x
