Jake Flint, a country singer-songwriter based in Oklahoma, died Sunday hours after his wedding.

Flint exchanged wedding vows with Brenda Flint Saturday during a rainy ceremony in Oklahoma. His longtime publicist Clif Doyal confirmed to The Oklahoman, part of the USA TODAY network, that the Red Dirt musician died in his sleep hours after the nuptials.

He went on to record and release three more albums — 2018's "Live and Not OK at Cain’s Ballroom," 2020's "Jake Flint" and 2021's "Live and Socially Distanced at Mercury Lounge.".

Blake Lankford, who is part of the VIIDR - Seventh Day Rebellion songwriter group that counted Flint among its members, wrote, "If there's a heaven and they let me in, I know it'll be because you went to bat for me, Jake." Buffalo Rogers posted that "The world has a dimmer sparkle without you in it," while Travis Kidd deemed Flint "a true legend that will never be forgotten."

Flint's wife, Brenda Wilson Flint, posted to Facebook a video clip from their wedding with the heart-rending message "I don't understand." 

Mike Hosty, who played at Flint's Saturday wedding, posted Monday his own video snippet from the wedding that captures Flint as he hopes to remember him: happily serenading his new bride

"When I got done, we all just went out to the barn, and someone had an acoustic guitar and people were passing it around
