Clif Doyal, Flint’s publicist, posted the depressing information on social media. Doyal praised Jake as a good buddy and added that the numerous social media tributes are evidence that he was adored by all.

In 1985, Jake Flint was conceived. He was raised in the South Eastern Oklahoma oilfield boomtown of Holdenville. Because of his father’s passion of music, he grew up listening to songs by musicians like John Denver, James Taylor, and Dire Straits.
He received a “hefty dose of 90s grunge rock from Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters,” according to the Country singer’s official website. After learning that his father had ALS, a disease that limits muscle movement and causes other problems, he started playing music.
According to the website, Jake’s next musical phase involved discovering writers who were both past and present members of the Texas and Oklahoma music scenes, including Tom Skinner, Bob Childers, Boland, Canada, McClure, and Chris Knight, among numerous others. Jake found himself here, found his musical inspiration, and began his own singing and songwriting career.
