Country music artist Colt Ford recently shared poignant news regarding his father through an Instagram video. Following a request for prayers just days ago, Ford announced that his father had passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by loved ones. The singer expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and provided insight into his father's final moments.

In a heartfelt video posted to his profile, Ford reflected on his father’s life, highlighting significant milestones such as attending one of his concerts in Athens with Brantley Gilbert. At 89 years old, his father experienced joy seeing his son perform before transitioning peacefully last night. Ford conveyed that he finds solace in knowing his father is now reunited with the Lord.

Ford elaborated further about the serene circumstances surrounding his father's passing. Surrounded by cherished family members including his mother, with whom he shared six decades of marriage, and his grandson Reynolds, Ford's father left this world gracefully. This transition occurred within the comfort of his beloved home where he spent many cherished moments.

Throughout the past year, Ford has been no stranger to adversity. He previously made headlines after experiencing two near-death incidents following a concert in April but managed to recover both times. Last week, instead of focusing on himself, Ford requested that the prayers typically directed toward him be extended to his ailing father. An intimate image captured during a FaceTime call showcased their bond as Ford enjoyed a popsicle while conversing with his hospitalized father, who was receiving oxygen assistance.

Fans responded overwhelmingly with supportive messages filled with praying emojis and words of encouragement. Through it all, Ford remains appreciative of the community rallying around him during this difficult time. As he moves forward, his faith provides strength and peace amidst personal loss.
