Sign is survived by his wife Laura and the couple's three sons.
After graduation, Sign landed his first job in Montgomery, Alabama, spent time in Odessa/Midland, Texas, and then joined ABC News' Birmingham affiliate in the late 1990s where he proved himself as a sharp reporter with a knack for telling local stories.
He moved onto a bigger market, Phoenix, in 2005 where he spent 13 years as a reporter and anchor. During that time, Sign gained national attention for breaking the news of a secret meeting on the Phoenix Sky Harbor tarmac between former President Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch. The timing of the meeting happened during the 2016 Presidential Election, when then-candidate Hillary Clinton was under scrutiny for how she handled certain emails during her tenure as U.S.

"That decision put him in a place where he could see his boys off to school in the mornings, watch them play baseball in the evenings, and take them fishing on the weekends.""A light in our lives extinguished too soon. My friend and brother you will be greatly missed. Much love to your sweet family. We stand with you in grief," Sign's co-anchor Brenda Ladun wrote onA light in our lives extinguished too soon.
