Premo Mondone, Jr., 59, of Cleveland, Tennessee, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, February 27, 2016.
Premo was born at Fort Jackson, SC to the late Premo Mondone, Sr. and Doris Grillo Mondone; and was also preceded in death by his grandparents, Sonto and Cynthia Mondoni; and his aunt and uncle, Gaetano and Connie Pelizzari.
He graduated from Jacksboro High School in Jacksboro, TN and Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens, TN. Premo was a passionate UT Vols fan and political activist. His patriotism was evident in everything he did. His love for political discourse and social media led him to one of his most prized accomplishments, establishing a conservative online radio network. In 2010, he founded Red State Talk Radio, which has already earned notoriety and acclaim, including “Top Internet Network,” in a few short years. Premo was a hard-working and self-made man, owning and operating his own businesses, including Southern Computer Services and Volunteer Hosting.
He is survived by his sister, Cynthia Lawson; his brother, Christopher Mondone; his half-sisters, Angie, Melissa and Lisa; three daughters, Adriana, Cristina and Laura; and grandchildren, Wyhatt, Christian, Damian, Lilliana and Lydia.
