Oklahoma country singer Jake Flint died hours after getting married, according to social media posts from his loved ones. He was just 37.
The country singer died in his sleep, according to his publicist Clif Doyal, The Oklahoman reported. The cause of his death was not made clear.
The up-and-coming artist was in the midst of touring Oklahoma and surrounding states when he got married on Saturday to his wife, Brenda Flint. His next show date was scheduled for Dec. 2.
In a Tuesday Facebook post, Brenda wrote, “We should be going through wedding photos but instead I have to pick out clothes to bury my husband in.”
“People aren’t meant to feel this much pain. My heart is gone and I just really need him to come back,” she added.
Flint’s widow also posted a heartbreaking video that appears to show the two dancing and laughing together while taking wedding photos earlier in the week.
“I don’t understand,” Brenda writes in the caption.
Doyal told CNN that Flint was a “true ambassador of the Oklahoma and Texas Red Dirt music scene.”
