“We lost our sweet Fez Whatley last night. His heart finally gave out,” Bennington wrote. “We are devastated, but we will always remember the laughter through our tears.  Our thoughts are with his family who loved him the most and with the people who knew him as a voice on the radio. #fezwhatley.” Whatley’s former hosting partner, Ron Bennington, announced the news on Instagram.

In March, Bennington shared photos of Whatley laying in a hospital bed after he suffering “another massive heart attack. “Fez had another massive heart attack this week.  He flatlined on Tuesday but was able to be revived by doctors. He spent a few days on a ventilator and is now breathing on his own. “

Bennington added: “His sister snapped these pics of him while he was on the vent, and Fez is oddly proud of them.”

On November 9, 2005, Whatley had a minor heart attack that he didn’t recognize. The next day, he hosted The Ron and Fez Show before seeing a doctor, who informed him that he had suffered a heart attack and had been diagnosed with diabetes.

Fez left the studio during the show to go to the medical department after an interview with author Elmore Leonard on May 9, 2007. On May 11, 2007, Fez had a second stent implanted.

While in the hospital for treatment for an unrelated medical condition on September 24, 2010, Fez was diagnosed with his third heart attack. On Monday, September 27, he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the program on Wednesday, September 29.

On The Anthony Cumia Show on August 5, 2015, Ron Bennington revealed that Fez had suffered his fifth heart attack.
