Oklahoma singer-songwriter Jake Flint and his bride, Brenda, didn't seem to let the wet weather dampen their spirits as they exchanged vows on Saturday at a remote homestead between Claremore and Owasso. .

Jake goes, 'Is that gonna be all right for you?' And I go, 'Jake, that's perfect.' A piece of plywood or a flatbed trailer is where I shine," said Norman-based one-man band Mike Hosty, who played the wedding.

On Sunday morning, Hosty got word that Flint had died in his sleep, just hours after exchanging vows with his bride.

The shock and grief were apparent in the Oklahoma music community Monday as word spread of Flint's sudden death at the age of 37.

His longtime publicist, Clif Doyal, confirmed to The Oklahoman that the Red Dirt singer-songwriter had died in his sleep following his wedding on Saturday.

Flint ventured into The Boohatch, the former Ada home studio of The Great Divide frontman, producer and Oklahoma Music Hall of Famer Mike McClure, to record his first album, 2016's "I’m Not Okay." .

He brought in this kind of an Irish band — I mean, (they were) bluegrass, but they had some old Irish instruments — and they did some really cool stuff with Jake.

He was just a straight-up good dude and not only worked on his own music but tried to help pave the way for some other artists that hadn't really recorded yet." .

Flint recorded and released 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" — and was a featured performer on the Future Faces Show at the 2018 Texas Regional Radio Music Awards. .

The latter two events are fundraisers for the nonprofit Red Dirt Relief Fund, which counted Flint as a loyal supporter. .

At this year's Gypsy Cafe songwriters festival, she said Flint managed the streaming for the same stage he played.

So, he was just a really hard worker," Dale said.

Numerous Oklahoma musicians have taken to Facebook to pay homage to Flint in the past two days

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."  

There's only one Jake Flint," said Brenda Cline, Flint's business adviser, former manager and partner on a planned business venture. 

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

Hosty posted Monday his own video snippet from the wedding that captures Flint as he hopes to remember him: happily serenading his new bride
