"Though his talent was unparalleled, Ron was so much more than Donnie Baker. He was a loving husband, father, son, friend, and coach.

"We know he’s at peace and are proud to know he will continue to make people around the world laugh forever. We appreciate all of the love and support," Tracey's statement read. 

Ron's wife and mother of his four children, Eric, Abigail, Alex, and Aliah, added that despite his popularity, the comedian "didn't like attention."

As such, the family will not be holding public funeral services, with his wife adding that social media tributes will act as his viewing. 

Tracey also confirmed that the cause of Ron's sudden passing is still unknown.

His grieving wife also took a moment to thank all of her husband's fans, as she concluded: "I appreciate all of you who are taking the time to honor him. He was one of a kind."

Ron was known for voicing Donnie Baker on the iconic comedic radio program, The Bob and Tom Show.

His family confirmed his death on Saturday via the official Donnie Baker Facebook page.

"It is with immense sadness that we let everyone know that Ron Sexton passed away yesterday," the post read.

Ron's daughter, Abbie Sexton, posted a photo of the two of them hours after the announcement.

The photo on Abbie's Facebook page showed her and her dad making the same funny face together.

Supportive comments flooded in. "So very sorry, Abbie. Your family is in my prayers," one Facebook user wrote.

"Abbie there are no words…. Please know you and your family are in my prayers.

"I hope you can feel the love, prayers and support all around you and it helps to carry you through this extremely difficult time," another said.

Ron died on Friday in Ohio while on the road for his stand-up comedy tour, Tom Griswold, host of The Bob & Tom Show, confirmed on Saturday.

"Ron was known by millions of listeners of The Bob & Tom Show for the indelible comedic characters he played on-air - including Donnie Baker, Kenny Tarmac, and Floyd the Trucker, as well as his spot-on celebrity impersonations," the Facebook post read.

"Ron was a much-loved colleague and friend, and we will miss him greatly."

Griswold shared his condolences with Ron's family and friends, ending the post by saying: "He made many, many people happy during his more than 20 years with The Bob & Tom Show, and we will remember him with love and gratitude."

On Monday, The Bob & Tom Show posted a video montage of Ron Sexton on their Facebook page.

The video included multiple clips of Sexton filming impressions from the show, including one of Tony Soprano.

His personality shined during the behind-the-scenes footage where he can be seen laughing and talking with the crew.
