Some heartbreaking news. Country star Granger Smith announced on Twitter Thursday that his youngest son has passed away after an accident.
He wrote:
I have to deliver unthinkable news. We’ve lost our youngest son, River Kelly Smith. Following a tragic accident, and despite doctor’s best efforts, he was unable to be revived. Amber and I made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second chance at life. Our family is devastated and heartbroken, but we take solace in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father. Riv was special. Everyone that met him knew that immediately. The joy he brought to our lives cannot be expressed and his light will be forever in our hearts. If there are words to say more, I cannot find them in this moment. Love the ones close to you. There has never been a more difficult moment for us then this.
Everyone at Y108 send their thoughts and prayers to Granger’s family during this unimaginably difficult time.
River just celebrated his 3rd birthday on May 20.
