Bob Kevoian, longtime co-host of The Bob & Tom Show, died on April 17, 2026, at age 75 after a three-year battle with gastric cancer, leaving a legacy of laughter and generosity.

Kevoian and Tom Griswold launched The Bob & Tom Show in Indianapolis in 1983; the program became nationally syndicated in 1995, and Kevoian retired from the daily morning slot in 2015, later remaining involved through podcasts and occasional drops-ins.

Kevoian passed away peacefully at his home with family nearby; his wife Becky and their three sons were at his side in his final hours, and memorial details will be announced later.

His favorite song played a part in his final moments, with family reportedly listening to music as he passed.

Doctors advised keeping online information about his treatment minimal to avoid distress and to focus on living life as planned.

Kevoian was known for his Los Angeles Dodgers hat and mustache, a signature look he joked about preserving even during his illness.

Kevoian’s son Toby posted a heartfelt tribute on social media, calling his father a legend and hero and expressing pride in his influence and wisdom.

Friends and colleagues recalled his warmth and humor; personal memories highlighted his generosity and sense of humor, including public memories of a December sing-along at his home.

According to USA Today, family members were singing The Beatles’ Abbey Road as Kevoian took his last breath, with the moment described as peaceful at home.

Off-air, Kevoian was known for philanthropy, often bidding generously at charity fundraisers to maximize donations for children’s charities.

Pat McAfee and others described Kevoian as a mentor and friend whose influence extended beyond radio, leaving a lasting impact.

In 2023, Kevoian publicly shared his cancer diagnosis and launched The Bob & Cancer Show with his wife and collaborator to document his journey and help others facing cancer.
