In 2011, Kraddick revealed he was in a relationship with Lissi Mullen, a woman 21 years his junior. The couple had dated for around two years, and he proposed to her at the age of 53. That same year, Kraddick disclosed that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma in 2009, a condition he kept private from most family members and colleagues. He underwent treatment between 2011 and 2012 and was reportedly in recovery during the early 2010s.
On July 27, 2013, Kraddick passed away at the age of 53 while attending a fundraising event for his charity, Kidd’s Kids, at Timberlane Country Club in Gretna, Louisiana. According to Jefferson Parish Deputy Coroner Granville Morse, Kraddick’s death was due to arteriosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease. An autopsy revealed an enlarged heart, three diseased arteries, and one artery that was 80 percent blocked. Drug use and foul play were ruled out.
Following his death, Kraddick's daughter inherited the condominium in which he had been living with Lissi Mullen. Reports indicate that she requested Mullen vacate the property shortly after his passing. These posthumous family tensions were said to stem in part from discomfort over the age difference between Kraddick and Mullen, an issue Kraddick had previously addressed during his show in an apologetic tone aimed at his daughter.
Carol maintained her privacy during and after their separation, choosing not to comment publicly on the matter or on Kraddick’s health issues. According to public accounts, communication between the former spouses was limited, even when he announced his illness. Kraddick admitted on air that he was often alone after the separation and had hoped for a more amicable relationship with Carol.
Information regarding Lissi Mullen’s life following Kraddick’s death remains largely private. Carol has not publicly pursued new relationships or remarriage since the separation.
