Former teen idol and "Partridge Family" star David Cassidy passed away yesterday of complications from dementia.  He was just 67. 

Over the weekend, we heard that he was in the hospital and his organs were failing, and yesterday we found out that David had died, at the age of 67.  His publicist says he died of complications from dementia. David first revealed that he had dementia back in February.

Some of his biggest hits were "Cherish", "How Can I Be Sure", "I Think I Love You", and "I Write the Songs", which later became Barry Manilow's signature song.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
