Granger Smith Releases Update and Tribute Video For Son River

By Stefanie Richardson / June 20, 2019

Granger & Amber Smith’s three year old son River passed away 2 weeks ago. Smith announced that their son drowned at their family home. The couple released an inspirational and touching video tonight (6.19.19) where they share how they are doing now, along with a beautiful video that was shared at River’s funeral. It will bring you to tears, and give you some sweet laughs as well. What an incredible life that sweet boy lived in such a short time. Smith said in the video, “We believe, in our belief, that God gave River to us for three years, and that was his mission. I don’t believe that God takes anyone too soon.” Keep the Smith family in your prayers as they continue to navigate a new way of life.

River Smith tribute shirts are still available, with proceeds going to Dell Children’s Medical Center.

I was born & raised in Orlando, but chased my dream of living in Tennessee. There are plenty of more dreams to chase, and living here was the first step. I grew up on country music and remember riding around in my dad’s truck singing along to Reba, The Judds, and of course, King George. Pure Country was a movie that played often in our house. These days, I absolutely love following “up and coming” artists. Cale Dodds is my favorite; and I’m at his shows more often than not! I love everything about country music; the way artists appreciate their fan base, the loyalty the fans show their favorite performers, and how it brings people together. I am so thankful for the experiences and friendships that Got Country has given me.

  1. Breaks my heart. I’m leaving a comment letting the family know their in my thoughts and prayers. But I’m unable to watch the video because I lost my 4 year old son in 2009 to the exact same tragedy and it’s hard for me to watch. But my deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
