He reflected on the tragedy and revealed that while the situation is hard, he and his wife, Karen, try their best to honour his memory.

He shared during the podcast that “A lot of people seek out the reason why God let that happen. Was it because of this?” and then added that he tends to avoid asking such questions anymore. While detailing why, the country musician added that, “All you’re doing is looking for justification. And for me, there is no justification. He’s gone, and that’s it.”

He also quoted his youngest son’s word as well, and stated that he told him that “‘We just have to live with the suck for the rest of our lives.’” He further shared that while the whole family is extremely sad, and dearly misses Jerry, it will not waver his faith in God. He also added, “I think there’s moments in your life where you’re supposed to question Him (God). I think when you question God, your faith grows, because He educates you. Sometimes it just takes really s***** things.”
