JV goes missing, passes away
JV was married to model and actress Natasha Yi. The two married following a live on-air proposal in San Francisco.[4]
JV shared health details on Wild 94.9 on April 4, 2022, that he was suffering from Lyme disease which was severely impacting his brain and life. He mentioned it again in late February 2023 and a few hours later, JV went missing.[5] His wife, Natasha Yi, has not heard from him and she released this statement:
Thank you to our friends and the entire i-HeartRadio family and listeners for your love, support and prayers. I can feel your love and energy for JV, and I am so grateful for it. The amount of compassion for the physical torture JV has been going through for the past two years has been overwhelming.
I have been in so much pain and fear and I know all of you have been so scared and concerned for JV as well. JV and I have always considered this community part of our family, so I want to let you know that personal information has recently been discovered that leads us to believe JV will not be coming back. I tell you this with incredible pain and sadness in my heart.
At this time, JV officially remains missing according to the SFPD [San Francisco Police Department], but no foul play is suspected in his disappearance. We are incredibly appreciative for the SFPD's ongoing efforts in locating JV and they have asked us to keep the details to immediate family only. I know how painful this is for you to hear – please know that I have you in my thoughts.
Please forgive my silence during this time – my heart is utterly broken, and the pain feels unbearable. I will do my best to provide updates and I ask for you to please keep JV in your thoughts and prayers.[5]
On March 23, KYLD announced that he had died.[6] His body was discovered the previous day in the San Francisco Bay, near Pier 39.[7][8]
