Scotty McCreery Says His Heart Is “Heartbroken” After Losing Both Of His Grandmothers
Country singer Scotty McCreery took to social media to mourn two huge losses. Both his maternal and paternal grandmothers passed away on Wednesday (July 9).
He shared a photo of them both standing alongside him and his wife, Gabi, on their wedding day, writing, “My heart is absolutely broken. Yesterday, both my Grandma Janet and my Grandma Paquita passed away. I think I am still in a bit of shock as I type this, but I’m choosing to remember the great memories we all made with both of them. There really are too many to count.”
McCreery continued, “From being on the farm in Elizabeth City or visiting the Outer Banks with Grandma Janet. And then the incredible memories we made at the backyard pool in Pinehurst, all the way to visiting Puerto Rico with Grandma Paquita. Both of them truly taught me what love is all about. I will miss them dearly. If yall could keep my family in your prayers I’d appreciate it.”
Family Means Everything To Scotty
Scotty McCreery is a family man down to his core. He was raised in a close-knit family, being incredibly close to both sets of grandparents. He is now instilling the same values he was raised on onto his children. He is dad to Avery, and gearing up to welcome his second child with his wife, Gabi.
His closeness to his grandparents was detailed in his song “Five More Minutes,” where he begs to have just five more minutes with his late grandfather. The song’s music video has been viewed over 159 million times, so there are lots of people who can relate to his plea.
