Services are not yet scheduled for longtime Northern Colorado broadcaster Stu Haskell, who died Sunday, one day after his 71st birthday.
Haskell was Northern Colorado and southern Wyoming market president for iHeart Media radio stations, formerly Clear Channel, at the time of his death.
His radio history in the region began in the 1970s with KIIX-AM and KTCL-FM in Fort Collins.
In recent years after stations in the region were merged within the iHeart organization, he served as market president and general manager of multiple stations that operated from the regional headquarters at 4270 Byrd Drive in Loveland, next door to where he and Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson had established an outdoor music venue.
Scott James, a broadcaster with 97.9 Big Country KXBG and also a Weld County commissioner, said in eulogizing Haskell that he always understood the importance of community service.
"It says on the federal radio license 'licensed to serve the public trust,' and Stu Haskell never forgot that. He understood [that] implicitly … and it's not only our license that required that, but also our hearts required that," James said.
"I always felt he had our back," James said in reference to working within a large corporate structure. "Stu understood how to satisfy our 'uppers' while truly serving our community."
Haskell is survived by his wife, Cindy, sons Matt and Skylar, sister Julie Gade who also is a broadcaster, and grandchildren. Haskell's father, the late George Haskell, was a hall-of-fame broadcaster in Nebraska in the Scottsbluff market.

Obituary of Stu "Legend" Alan Haskell
Our beloved Stu died on Sunday, October 18th, the morning after his 71st birthday. He was the longtime Market President of iHeart Media Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming.
Stu leaves behind his wife Cindy, sons Matt and wife Riley, Sky and wife Loni, seven grandchildren; Brintley, Beckett, Maverick, Bex, Mason, Hayden, and Tori, sister and brother-in-law Julie and Jeff Gade of Lincoln, Nebraska, their son Cole, brother-in-law Dan DeVaughn and his family; Alex, Savannah, Kelcy and his mother-in-law Sally Schmitt of Hastings, Nebraska. He also leaves behind his radio family who he loved as well.
Stu loved the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Gunsmoke and his Skookums but most of all, he loved his family! So proud of his boys! I would be remiss if I didn't say how much he cared about his clients, his listeners and the community in general.
