88.five FM. not 88. (Five rhymes with live, lol)
This is very sad news indeed.
Katfish was one of the best in the Mix 99.9 days. 

He's still listed as morning man on Live 88five: http://www.live885.com/inside.asp?mn=16

A clip of the Ottawa Citizen article..

Michel Maisonneuve knew before most folks that his kid brother would be using his wits and voice to make a living.

“He was a blabbermouth, even as a kid,” Maisonneuve laughs, recalling breakfasts in the family home when the kid who would adopt the radio moniker “Katfish Morgan” would regale the table with non-stop chatter.

“I’d complain to my mother: ‘Can’t you stop him?’ But she’d just roll her eyes.”

Ottawa radio listeners and musicians paid tribute Saturday to André Maisonneuve, better known as the popular longtime Live 88.5 DJ Katfish Morgan, who died Friday after being diagnosed with cancer six months ago.

Maisonneuve was an original staffer when Live 88.5 adopted a new rock format in 2005, with an emphasis on alternative rock playlists.

A statement from Live 88.5 Saturday called him “a great broadcaster,” fearless leader and “truly loyal friend.”

“Andre gave birth to Live 88.5. He ‘lived life large’ and he was an absolutely magnificent human being,” said the statement, which added that those who wish to honour him should donate to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Maisonneuve was born in Quebec, but the family moved to Thunder Bay and he attended Confederation College, graduating from their communications program before embarking on his radio career.

Michel Maisonneuve said there would be no formal funeral service for his brother and the family would likely wait until the new year when André’s son, a 23-year-old member of the armed forces, returns from deployment in Ukraine. André also has a daughter, 21, who is a student in Ottawa. The family asked their names not be given.
