It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that WQSB FM 105.1 and the entire Sand Mountain Broadcasting family announce the passing of Rod Sisco, our beloved Afternoon Drive DJ and lifelong friend. Rod departed this world peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, joy, and unmistakable passion for radio that touched the lives of countless listeners across our community.
Rod was more than just a familiar voice on the airwaves — he was a beacon of positivity, comfort, and connection. For decades, he graced our station every weekday afternoon with a unique blend of charisma, humor, and heartfelt storytelling that made each listener feel like they were in the room with an old friend. His voice wasn’t just broadcast — it resonated. It brought people together, uplifted spirits, and created a sense of home for thousands tuning in from across Sand Mountain and beyond.
A true radio man to the core, Rod’s journey in broadcasting was not merely a job; it was a calling. He poured his heart into every show, weaving music, community updates, and genuine conversation into a seamless soundtrack for the lives of so many. His deep love for the craft, his unwavering commitment to the station, and his dedication to our community made him one of the most respected and admired figures in local radio.
But Rod was not just a cherished colleague — he was family. His presence in our studios was a source of constant joy and calm. Whether it was his quick wit, his kind words, or his ability to make everyone feel valued and seen, Rod brought light into every room he entered. Behind the microphone, he was a pro; beyond it, he was a mentor, a friend, and a brother to us all.
Rod’s passing has left an irreplaceable void — in our station, in our hearts, and across our entire listening community. The afternoons will never sound the same without him. His absence is a silence that echoes through every hallway of WQSB and every car, kitchen, and porch where his voice once brought laughter and comfort.
We extend our deepest condolences to Rod’s family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him. To his loyal listeners, we share your grief. We know how much Rod meant to you, because he meant the same to us. As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived and the legacy he leaves behind.
In the coming days, WQSB FM 105.1 will be honoring Rod’s memory with special tributes, stories from colleagues and listeners, and a look back at some of his most unforgettable moments on air. We invite you to share your memories, your favorite “Rod moments,” and help us pay homage to a man who gave us so much.
Rod Sisco was truly one of a kind. A voice that can never be replaced. A soul that will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, dear friend. You were the heartbeat of our afternoons — and you will forever be the spirit of WQSB.
