‘Our hearts are shattered': Country star's husband dies at 72 from mouth cancer
Country star Lorrie Morgan's husband Randy White died on Sunday at 72.
White was diagnosed with mouth cancer in 2024, according to People Magazine.
On Sunday Morgan shared the news of White's death in an Instagram post.
'Randy has been my partner, my champion and my rock for 17 years,' the singer wrote. 'Our big wonderful family and I are devastated at the loss of this truly kind and incredible man. I was blessed by his love. Ran-Ran, I will love and miss you forever.'
Morgan's son, country singer Jesse Keith Whitley also shared the news via Facebook.
'As I sit here in the room with hospice, I don't really [know] what to think or say about this situation,' Whitley wrote Sunday morning. 'But I can say that the recent years of my life all the way back to when I was 22-23 years old this great man has been here and loved my mom, and also me and my sister as we were his own.'
Whitley added that White 'showed him love' and 'has been the best grandfather' for his kids.
The country singer also recalled memories of when White would pick him up late at night when Whitley wasn't safe to drive.
'[White] was never even once (this happened multiple times lol),' he wrote, 'Even when I called from a jail cell he laughed at me and said well I'll be there in a little bit (boy mom was pissed).'
White was born on May 15, 1953, according to People Magazine. He studied at Volunteer State Community College and was a graduate of Hendersonville High School. White retired as an entrepreneur and owned a successful landscaping business. Morgan and White married in September 2010 during a private beachside ceremony.
'He has shown unconditional love to my mother and has been the most gentle soul to ever grace this entire family,' Whitley said on Facebook. 'We will miss you always and forever and our hearts are shattered in losing you. But you have fought one helluva fight RanMan!'
