His death was announced in a statement by his family which described him as a "beacon of kindness and generosity".
"As we say goodbye to Joe Don, we hold onto the memories and the love he shared with us."
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Woke up to the sad news of tough guy movie legend #JoeDonBaker's passing last week. If there was ever an actor who embodied that realistic working-class American badass archetype, Baker was the one. Rest easy, and go 'head on, good sir."
And actor and writer Rufus Jones praised Baker's work in Edge of Darkness, which he described as: "One of the greatest TV series ever made, that paved the way for the era of novelistic TV we now live in."
He continued: "British audiences had never really seen a performance like Joe Don Baker’s. Huge, utterly believable, loveable, terrifying. Bon Voyage, you great actor."
