Lorrie Morgan’s Son Remember His Stepfather

One day before Morgan took to Instagram, her son, Jesse Keith Whitley, announced his stepfather’s death in a Facebook post.

“As I sit here in the room with hospice, I don’t know really what to think or to say about this situation,” Whitley wrote. “But, I can say that the recent years of my life all the way back to when I was 22-23 years old this great man has been here and loved my mom, and also me & my sister as we were his own.”

“He showed me love and showed me a relationship with Jesus even though I grew up Catholic, I kinda distanced myself a little from it,” he continued. “He has been the best grandfather for my kids they could ever ask for. Has come and picked me up late night when it wasn’t safe to drive and was never mad .. not even once (this happened multiple times lol). Even when I called from a jail cell he laughed at me and said well I’ll be there in a little bit (boy mom was pissed).”

As for White’s relationship with Morgan, whom he married in 2010, Whitley wrote, ” He has shown unconditional love to my mother and been the most gentle soul to ever grace this entire family.”

“As we say our goodbyes, I reminisce of all the good times we have had & the battles he has helped overcome,” Whitley added. “I can’t tell you the amount of love that has poured in from fans, family and friends. We will miss you always and forever and our hearts are shattered in losing you. But you have fought one helluva fight RanMan! Rest easy say hello to everyone and love on Weezy.”
