R.I.P.: FL Radio Personality Lenny Davis Was 50

A veteran law enforcement officer and morning radio personality died Monday, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said in Florida.

Deputy Lenny Davis, 50, died from natural causes at his home, according to tcpalm.com. He was a deputy in St. Lucie for 22 years.

For the last few years, Davis recorded a sports segment "Sports My Way" for WPSL-AM 1590 in Port SaintaLucie as part of The Morning Show.

"Lenny could have become one of the ESPN guys," said Morning Show host George "Mr. G." Coles. "He had developed a following and he was very entertaining. He was in your face, calling out certain players for being big dummies."

Davis had been doing sports broadcasting on the side for at least seven years, including hosting a NASCAR show on WSTU-AM 1450 in Stuart, Coles said. Davis went from calling in to radio shows to hosting his own segments, he said.

"He'd record his stuff for our show before he went to work," Coles said. "Sometimes he'd record it on his iPad while driving in his patrol car."
