YOU BEFORE ME
HELPING PEOPLE WHILE HONORING THE LIFE OF RON SEXTON
Our Story
(We Swear to God It's True...)
You Before Me Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the legacy of Ron Sexton. Ron was a beloved son, husband, and father of four, but many knew him as a world-famous comedian and a successful high school baseball coach.
​
The name of our non-profit was inspired by the 2017 Dunedin Falcons High School Baseball team, who under Ron's guidance made a run to the Florida 6A Final Four using 'You Before Me' as their team motto.
​
Ron embodied this phrase in all facets of his life. Fans of his comedy remember him for staying hours past his sold-out Donnie Baker shows to take pictures and sign autographs late into the night. Up-and-coming comedians knew him as a friend they could look up to and seek advice from. As a family, we continue to cherish all of the joy he brought us - on the ball field, at the dinner table, and on our trips around the country.
We are committed to celebrating Ron's passions while making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. We plan to support initiatives close to his heart, while creating experiences he would have enjoyed.
​
Beginning in 2024 with our inaugural events, we aim to raise funds for a Dunedin High School Baseball scholarship as well as bring awareness and donate to causes that help comedians tackle the mental health struggles that come with the profession.
​
Your support means the world to us. We are eager to see Ron continue to make a difference by bringing laughter and happiness to people for years to come.
