Michael "Doc" Thompson, 49, of Bentonville, Ark., was killed Tuesday afternoon, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.

Witnesses and the train crew said he was jogging along the tracks in the 2000 block of Carson Road about 3:45 p.m. when he was hit by the passing train.

A pair of wireless earbuds was found at the scene, but it was not clear whether Thompson had been wearing them, police said.

No one on the train was injured.

On Wednesday listeners called in to Doc Thompson's Daily MoJo show and shared memories of him with co-hosts Ron Phillips and Brad Staggs.

"I just keep waiting for him to show up," one caller said on a live stream on Facebook.

Thompson started the show last year after he left a position at Glenn Beck's TheBlaze radio, according to a post at theblaze.com. He lived with his family in Northwest Arkansas and reportedly commuted to work in the Dallas area on a regular basis.

"Doc was one of the more gregarious guys I know," Beck, a popular conservative media personality, told theblaze.com. "He was the ultimate entrepreneur. He left us to start his own business. He loved new businesses and because of Doc, many businesses are flourishing because he would take them under his wings. He just always had a positive attitude and a can-do spirit, and we are devastated as a family and devastated for his family."

Thompson's bio page described his broadcast style as one that "mixes reporting, commentary, and humor to reflect a conservative libertarian political philosophy with economic views supportive of the free market. Showcasing Doc's passion and insight, his beliefs and comments are consistent as he discusses personal freedom, personal responsibility, and Constitutional principles."

One comment on Facebook read, "Doc's been on in my home, in my vehicles, and is playing on my phone wherever I went for more than a decade. I'm praying for all of you to have peace through this heavy loss."

A GoFundMe page set up by Thompson's Mojo 5.0 colleagues had raised $31,119 in a little over three hours, surpassing a $20,000 goal to raise funds for family expenses.
