In his honor, Do It Outdoors is creating the Tim Piester Award for Excellence, which will recognize an outstanding driver every year.

Tim is survived by his wife of nearly 30 years, Deborah Piester, and his children: Kegan Stover and her husband Phil Stover; Kyle Piester; Kristin Campos and her husband Bradley Campos; and stepdaughter Amanda Carlson.

Retired

“The time has finally arrived. After 44 years in Radio and OOH, I’m stepping aside, turning the page and starting the next chapter titled, “Retired.” My last day with Clear Channel Outdoor will be December 31st. I could spend hours thanking those who helped me along the way. Hours recounting memories. Hours analyzing the highs and lows. But instead, I want to simply say how grateful I am to all, it’s been one hell of a ride.” —Anthony DeFazio
