Chicago DJ Timbuck2 died of cancer Saturday. He was 34.
"Timbuck2 was a premier turntable technician. His creativity and ear for music was unparalleled," wrote Derrick D. Brown, program director at WGCI. "He leaves a huge void that will be extremely difficult to fill."
Born Timothy Jones, Timbuck2 started performing as a DJ at 12, according to NBC Chicago. He was hired as the youngest on-air personality for WGCI in Chicago in 2004. His hip-hop mixes became a radio station staple.
He was known for giving up-and-coming performers a chance. Many artists shared their condolences on social media.
