What can you say or how can you begin to say about San Francisco Giants beat writer Jeremy Kahn who gave and gave and gave of himself in the media field that he literally gave all that he could give. He was generous to a fault. Our Jeremy Kahn has left us at the tender age of 50.
The shock that of his departure was sudden on Wed Feb 9, 2022 when most of us learned at 12 noon of his passing by the Facebook posting by former KCBS sports anchor Joe Salvatore and his dear friend and broadcast partner Michelle Richardson.
Jeremy worked hard wore many hats, he was a San Francisco Giants beat writer and radio talent for Sports Radio Service he started in 2001 and was a man of many talents broadcasting and writing post game reports covering Stanford Cardinal, Oakland A’s, Oakland Raiders and the Giants.
As time went on Jeremy just covered Giants baseball as he took on many other duties that included working on the Pac 12 Network TV and the TV production for the Golden State Warriors.
Jeremy enjoyed doing remotes for our radio podcasts as he and the Sports Radio Service crew dined in some of the finest restaurants to some of the best hole in the wall restaurants that dished some great food while we promoted the restaurants for the proprietors in the Bay Area and Sacramento.
Jeremy always looked forward to each remote broadcast and poured his heart and knowledge into editorial and commentary. Jeremy was always giving it his all and it was well known that he gave a kidney to a relative he wanted to give part of his life for a life, that was Jeremy. He was always thinking and talking about his father and his late mother and ways he could help them and family members out.
One of Jeremy’s favorite assignments was to work road games. Jeremy would select certain games on the Giants road schedule. His favorite places to work Giants games were PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Nationals Park in Washington DC, Citi Park and Yankee Stadium in New York.
Jeremy was a connoisseur of sorts cooking his own recipes and proudly showing his concoctions on social media. We are grateful to Michelle Richardson who was Jeremy’s broadcast partner both Jeremy and Michelle started doing talks shows in college and later on the professional level and Jeremy loved to talk about his favorite college Michigan and it’s football team.
Our entire staff to man and woman has expressed shock about Jeremy’s sudden loss but also shared many memories with a great talent and a very generous human being who gave of himself to his family and family of broadcasters. The San Francisco Giants plan to pay a tribute to Jeremy at their home opener Fri April 9th at Oracle Park when the Giants host the Milwaukee Brewers.
