Billings Radio Loses a Family Member

It’s with a heavy heart that I tell you today that a very dear friend passed away yesterday evening.  Hairboy, a.k.a. Jeff Michiaels, was part of the radio family here in Billings for many years on KRKX, The Zone, The End and Rock 107.5.  He will be missed by many.  Here’s what some other radio personalities here in Billings had to say about him.

Matt Brubaker: Very sad and upsetting news about Hairboy. My prayers go out to all friends and family. I was in the radio biz for over 30 years and I never met anyone like him. Great talent, funny as shit, crazy as hell, truly one of a kind…and gone too soon. Rest In Peace.

Ryan Clark: It’s been the saddest two days of my life. I never got to say goodbye and I will miss you forever. There will never be another hairboy in this world… Truly one of a kind.

Casey Paul: Can’t believe Hairboy’s gone…We had our ups and downs…all aired for anyone to hear…But at the end of the day we were always friends. Hairboy – I love you, dude & miss you already.
