Daryle Singletary

Brice's lovely tribute to the singer gone too soon will bring tears to your eyes.

It's an eerie song choice in light of his death oh Monday (Feb. 12).

The 46-year-old closed his final performance with Johnny Paycheck's "Old Violin," and the song's final lyrics are resonating today.

"I will miss him dearly."

Randy Travis was as essential to Daryle Singletary's success as the Georgia-raised singer's deep, traditional country voice.

His cause of death is unknown, but his impression on his peers is clear.

Charlie Daniels summarized Daryle Singletary's catalog of country songs best: "You sang country like country should be sung."

He was only 46 years old.

Rest in peace ...

May they rest in peace ...
