Indianapolis, Indiana – Ron Sexton, 52, popularly known as “Donnie Baker,” a veteran ensemble cast member of The Bob & Tom Show, passed away on Friday while on tour with his stand-up comedy show, according to representatives of the program.
He was a Tampa, Florida, inhabitant.
Millions of listeners came to know Sexton for his hilarious on-air personas, such as Donnie Baker, Kenny Tarmac, Floyd the Trucker, and his lifelike impersonations of famous people.
