After short stints for Air America Radio and another Flint station, WWCK (AM), Barber moved to Providence, RI in 2006 and worked for WPRO and then Capital TV.

He was rushed to a Pontiac, MI hospital where doctors discovered that he had a heart attack and a stroke. After 10 days in a coma, Barber died at 10:45 a.m. on July 4 at the age of 60.

Barber was once married to Ann Burke. He had a son, Chase Seegmiller, from a previous relationship. He is also survived by a brother and many relatives. Provided by Wikipedia
