近距离内射合集

A big heart and larger-than-life personality were descriptions that came up repeatedly Wednesday among friends and co-workers recalling journalist T.J. Wilham.

Todd J. Wilham, 50, known professionally and personally as 鈥淭.J.,鈥� died Wednesday following a diagnosis earlier this year of acute leukemia.

鈥淲e are heartbroken,鈥� former Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said of Wilham, who worked in Berry鈥檚 administration as director of the Albuquerque Police Department鈥檚 Real Time Crime Center. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a loss for our community. He was a unique individual and a talented man. He had a big, big heart.鈥�

Wilham won four Emmy Awards for KOAT Action 7 近距离内射合集 and numerous awards covering police and crime for the 近距离内射合集 and other newspapers during his decadeslong career.

鈥淗e had such a big personality and he was so enthusiastic about the stories he was working on,鈥� said Dan McKay, a former Journal reporter who worked with Wilham in the newspaper鈥檚 Downtown bureau.

鈥淗e used to read his stories out loud,鈥� McKay recalled. 鈥淗e was just the kind of person who involved everyone in the office in his stories. He wanted everybody to participate in helping him write a better lede, helping him write a better story. He really cared about doing good work.鈥�

Wilham wrote in a June 14 Facebook post that he had been diagnosed with acute leukemia in mid-May.

鈥淎s most of you know this is my third battle with cancer and we always knew when I was fighting lymphoma that the possibility existed that I would be diagnosed with leukemia as a side effect of all of those treatments,鈥� he wrote.

Wilham did his work with a unique style and a sense of humor, said Kent Walz, former editor of the Journal.

鈥淧ersonally, T.J. was a kind-hearted person who was always smiling and cheerful,鈥� Walz said. 鈥淭he news business can be pretty grim and having somebody like T.J. in the mix made life better. And professionally, he was a courageous and meticulous reporter. He just took great pride in his work and great pride in getting it right.鈥�

An Indiana native, Wilham moved to New Mexico and joined the Journal staff in 2004 after covering crime for the Indianapolis Star and the Muncie Star Press. He joined the city of Albuquerque in 2012 and led the development of APD鈥檚 Real Time Crime Center, which specialized in delivering information and crime analytics to police officers.

鈥淗e understood long before many others that technology, when used thoughtfully and responsibly, could give officers better information, improve public safety, and ultimately save lives,鈥� Berry said in a statement. 鈥淏ut T.J. was much more than his accomplishments. He was thoughtful, humble, and exceptionally talented.鈥�

Wilham joined KOAT in 2018 as an investigative producer.

鈥淭.J. was an exceptional journalist, a gifted storyteller, and someone who was deeply respected in our community,鈥� said Lori Waldon, KOAT鈥檚 president and general manager. 鈥淢ore importantly, he was a wonderful colleague, husband, father, and friend. T.J. brought talent, energy, humor, and heart to our newsroom every day.鈥�

Wilham is survived by his wife, Tammi, and daughters Tabea, 20, Regan, 17, and son, Ryan, 13.
