For years now, a popular parody account has made Kentucky fans laugh when scrolling through Twitter.

@NotJerryTipton, an account parodying Kentucky reporter Jerry Tipton, grew a big following, having 77,000 followers as of Sunday.

Sadly, Lee Stewart, the man behind the parody account, passed away over the weekend, according to Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones and others:

Back in 2018, the Louisville Courier-Journal did a story on Stewart and his popular Twitter account. You can read it here.

As mentioned in the tweets, Stewart leaves behind 3 daughters. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends after his death over the weekend.
