Flint was 37 years old.
The Oklahoma native was an up-and-coming artist with various studio albums and singles like “What’s Your Name?” and “Long Road Back Home.” He first found a love for country music after his dad was diagnosed with ALS and asked his friends to teach his son to play the guitar to remedy his inability to play sports with his son.
His publicist, Clif Doyal, told The Oklahoman that the singer died in his sleep hours after his wedding on Saturday.
His former manager, Brenda Cline, also confirmed the news on Sunday and expressed that Flint, whom she loved “much like a son,” had died shortly before returning to tour on Dec. 2 following his wedding festivities.
Flint’s wife, Brenda, also reflected on her grief in the wake of her husband’s sudden passing.
“We should be going through wedding photos but instead I have to pick out clothes to bury my husband in,” she wrote in a Nov. 29 Facebook post. “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.”
In addition to his closest friends and family, Flint’s manager Brenda Cline, also honored his legacy.
“I’ve tried several times today to make a post, but you can’t comment on what you can’t process,” she wrote in a Nov. 27 Facebook post alongside a photo of the two. “The photo below is when Jake and I excitedly signed our artist management contract. That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship and partnership. Jake was even more than that to me, I loved him much like a son. The funniest, most hilarious, hardest working, dedicated artist I have ever worked with in my career.”
“We were just about to embark on some business together after he and Brenda got married- which was yesterday,” she continued. “Jake has a million friends and I’m not sure how everyone will cope with this tragic loss. We need prayers- it’s all so surreal. Please please pray for his new wife Brenda, Jake’s precious mother, his sister and the rest of his family and friends. This is going to be incredibly difficult for so many. We love you Jake and in our hearts forever.”
His cause of death has not been confirmed at this time.
