Mike Janssen took over weekend weather duties at Channel 9 in 2018, coinciding with Jim Ramsey's own retirement after 30 years. Ramsey died in 2022 at age 69 of natural causes.
Another WGN weekend weatherman, Mike Hamernik, who had handled weekend morning weather duties starting in 2005, died of lung cancer at age 60 in 2021.
If it wasn't Demetrius Ivory, I'm not sure who else WGN would've considered as the heir apparent to Skilling on the weather front.
