KTLA anchors and reporters are sharing heartfelt tributes to Chris Burrous, KTLA 5’s Morning News reporter and anchor who died Thursday at 43.

Anchor Dayna Devon, who worked with Burrous on weekends, tearfully remembered her colleague as “a true genius..he just got it.” You can watch the video above.

Christina Pascucci wrote on Instagram, “This morning he was supposed to be sitting next to me.” “I keep thinking ‘what would Chris do’ in this situation,” Pascucci wrote. “Chris, we will do our best to honor you today and always in every assignment, but nobody does it like you.”

Anchor Chris Schauble tweeted that Burrous was a multi-faceted talent. “No one has his amazing range (anchor, weather, traffic, feature and breaking news reporter). Unmatched as a proud husband & father. Right now he’s telling the angels where to find the best food.”

.@chrisburrous is the hardest working/most talented person @ktla. No one has his amazing range (anchor, weather, traffic, feature and breaking news reporter). Unmatched as a proud husband & father. Right now he’s telling the angels where to find the best food. Rest easy brother. https://t.co/pDF6wT8Jr5 — Chris Schauble (@ChrisKTLA) December 28, 2018

KTLA anchor Sam Rubin, wrote of Burrous’ strong connection with viewers and the community. “Here’s the thing. This is awful. Heartbreaking and horrible. What Chris Burrous did was connect – with all of us, every day, and most especially on the weekends. He deeply loved his wife and his daughter; and all of you who watched him. A large community is in mourning tonight.
