The Body of Backroad Anthem Singer Craig Strickland Has Been Found
The week long search for BACKROAD ANTHEM singer CRAIG STRICKLAND ended yesterday when his body was found at Kaw Lake, Oklahoma, which is where he and his buddy Chase Morland went duck hunting. He was 29.
They started the hunt two days after Christmas, and were caught in the teeth of Winter Storm Goliath, which capsized their boat. Chase drowned and his body was found the next day. Craig swam to shore but eventually died of hypothermia.
Craig’s wife Helen posted the news yesterday on Instagram, writing, “We can finally rest knowing that he is at Home in Heaven with his Father. Thank you to every person who prayed for him and our family during this time. I love you with all my heart, Craig Michael.”
There’s also a tribute on the Backroad Anthem Facebook page. Quote, “Craig was the most amazing person whose passion for life couldn’t be matched. We pray for God to wrap his arms around the family and to help us through this difficult time.” (KFSM)
Craig’s wife was Miss Arkansas USA 2014, when she was Helen Wisner. Craig was was born in Alma, Arkansas and won “The Arkansas CW Star” in 2012.
