“Very sad to say that Mike Trivisonno passed away today at the age of 74,” programming director Ray Davis said on-air. “It’s going to be a very difficult show today.”

Despite his death being confirmed, a cause was not given.

Following the announcement, many took to Twitter to remember the local legend, including retired NFL star Bernie Kosar, who played for the Cleveland Browns from 1985 to 1993.

“Luv U Triv,” Kosar wrote. “So Going To Miss U Brother.”

Cleveland radio host Anthony Lima added: “Used to set up the boom box in the driveway to shoot hoops with Triv on after school. Called in many times. Was the BEST guy in town during the Browns move and held Cleveland politicians more accountable than anyone else. Still pretty sure he pranked our station from time to time.”

“Although ‘The Voice of Cleveland’ has been silenced, his impact on Cleveland will be felt and heard for years to come,” WTAM later posted on its Facebook page.

Was Mike Trivisonno married?

At the time of his death, Trivisonno was married to Tami Trivisonno.

Details surrounding Tami’s personal life remain unclear as she has tended to stay out of the spotlight over the years.

Prior to his marriage to Tami, he was married to his high school sweetheart, Linda Trivisonno until her death in 2009.

Throughout his previous marriage, he welcomed three children, Michelle, Michael and Anthony.
