Wisconsin Public Media (WPM) is saddened by the death of Gene Purcell, director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison division that provides statewide access to public media through Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) and PBS Wisconsin since 2018.
Purcell passed away Saturday from injuries suffered last week in a traffic crash in Madison. He was 61.

Gene Purcell, public broadcasting leader, dies following motorcycle crash


SAMARA KALK DERBY
Gene Purcell, a state public broadcasting leader, died Saturday as the result of a motorcycle crash. He was 61.
Madison Police on Monday reported a fatal motorcycle crash last Tuesday on the Beltline, which caused power outages from Todd Drive to Seminole Highway, but authorities wouldn’t confirm it was Purcell.
“He was smart and kind and selfless. And he loved deeply,” said Purcell’s wife, Ruth Purcell. “He was passionate about broadcasting, about his family, about his interests.”
Ruth said she hasn’t asked to learn a lot about the crash.
“I’m just not ready really to face that yet,” she said, noting that the police involved in the crash team are going to talk to her later this month. ....
