The passing of legendary superproducer and DJ, Clark Kent, led to an immediate outpouring of grief at the news along with heaps of praise for the man himself. The love and respect he’d earned over the course of his career meant that the world of music collectively stood still for a moment to acknowledge a tremendous loss after his family confirmed the sad news via his official Instagram account.
“It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of the beloved Rodolfo A. Franklin, known to the world as DJ Clark Kent,” reads the family’s statement. “Clark passed away Thursday evening surrounded by his devoted wife Kesha, daughter Kabriah and son Antonio.”
“Clark quietly and valiantly fought a three-year battle with colon cancer, while continuing to share his gifts with the world. The family is grateful for everyone’s love, support and prayers during this time and ask for privacy as they process this immense loss.”
