He enjoyed a 25-year run as a co-host on the Dave Ryan in the Morning program on Top 40 KDWB-FM 101.3 in Minneapolis-St. Paul and also worked behind the scenes for Tom Barnard on his podcast and on KQRS-FM 92.5.


Now, Twin Cities radio listeners and local media are paying tribute to Pat Ebertz.

Ebertz died at his home on Christmas (12/25), at the age of 62.

“Our hearts are broken and will forever miss and love Patrick John Ebertz,” daughter Isabelle Ebertz shared on social media. “Thank you dad for a lifetime of happiness squeezed into 22 years. You left such a mark on the world and all the people you’ve encountered.”

Speaking with FOX’s KMSP-9, Ryan also shared memories of Ebertz. “Pat would do anything to be entertaining,” he said. “Pat got arrested at least twice during our show. We sent him to Buffalo for the Vikings-Buffalo game. We had some time before the stadium opened, so they made a road trip to Niagara Falls, and Pat climbed over the railing. Pat was the kind of person who would run through a wall to be entertaining. He was the class clown, but very serious about his work.”

More recently, Ebertz was a sales and marketing consultant.
