Country singer Jake Flint has died at 37 years old, just hours after getting married, according to his publicist, former manager and now-widow.
Oklahoma’s country music singer and guitarist Jake Flint has passed away at 37. Flint’s manager took to social media to announce his death. However, she did not reveal the cause of Flint’s death. She took to Facebook and wrote, ‘sadly, Flint had passed away.’
His now-widow, Brenda Flint, wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday: “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. I can’t take much more. I need him here.”
Flint’s publicist, Clif Doyal, told the Oklahoman that Flint died in his sleep following his wedding on Saturday.
Brenda also posted a video of the two at their wedding. “I don’t understand,” she wrote.
Flint had been in the midst of a multi-state tour, with his next performance slated for Dec. 2 in Claremore, Oklahoma. His social media page describes his sources of musical inspiration as “everything from classic Texas Singer/Songwriters to 90’s grunge rock.”
The cause of Flint’s death was not immediately clear.
