Arkansas-based Backroad Anthem lead singer Craig Strickland, 29, and hunting buddy Chase Morland, 22, disappeared on December 27 while on a duck hunting trip in northern Oklahoma. The pair went missing during a severe winter storm dubbed Goliath. Morland’s body was quickly found along with their capsized boat and Strickland’s faithful hunting dog, Sam—who survived the ordeal. This morning, Craig Strickland’s body was recovered by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Marine Enforcement Division in an area of Kaw Lake called Bear Creek Cove.
Please keep Craig’s grieving widow, Helen Strickland, in your thoughts and prayers. She tweeted the following message after news broke, “Craig was found today. He is safe with his Father in Heaven. Thank you Lord for leading us to him today. I will praise you, Amen.”
Rest in peace, Craig. Let’s take a moment to remember the young talent through his music…
