Craig Strickland’s Wife Helen Strickland Touches Fans’ Hearts With Beautiful Tribute Following Husband’s Tragic Death

Backroad Anthem frontman, Craig Strickland, was found dead with his dear friend, Chase Moreland, this week. Following his tragic death, Craig’s wife Helen Strickland has touched our hearts with a beautiful tribute, comforting the fans who are mourning his loss as well. Craig Strickland was just 29 years old. He was out on a wintry hunting trip in Oklahoma when he went missing for seven days. His body was discovered at Bear Creek Cove.

After his body had been discovered, Helen Strickland Tweeted a prayer saying, “#CraigStrickland 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.”

In a morbid twist, before the hunting buddies headed out the day after Christmas on their hunting trip, Chase Moreland Tweeted these now painful words, “In case we don’t come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm”

Who knew those words would ring true? As sad as this tragedy is, I am so inspired and comforted in the faith and grace that Strickland’s wife has portrayed throughout the entire ordeal. Don’t get me wrong. I am sure that behind closed doors, she cries it out, completely broken to her core. But her faith in God to carry her through this is beyond inspiring.

Helen shared a video that her husband gave her on their wedding day for his fans on Instagram. What a gracious act of kindness for a woman to share who is morning the loss of the love of her life. She gave this beautiful tribute/prayer along with the video clip:

“On the day of our wedding Craig had me watch a video he had made to tell me how much he loved me. I am so thankful for technology in this moment because I will always have this. I watched this privately prior to walking down the aisle, and so now I want to share this small excerpt with all of you. Thank you @stylistmeganfarmer for helping him make this. I will cherish it for ever. “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalms 116:15”

Thank you Lord for sharing #craigstrickland with me. You allowed me to borrow him on this earth, but he was always Yours. I will forever cherish our year of marriage. This was truly the type of man you were and will always be remembered as. I love you Craig Michael.”

I recommend grabbing the tissues before you press play. Craig Strickland, you will be dearly missed.
