Entire Community in Shattered Shock: "To become a bride and a widow in just a few hours is unfathomable."
By Celia Farber | November 29, 2022
"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.
"It was rainy, but he'd rented a 40-by-60 circus tent. ... They put up a bunch of carpets over the mud and then got two pieces of three-and-a-quarter-inch plywood and set it on the ground — and that was my stage. 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.
"I still have the mud in my old van ... but it was just a fun wedding. And it's just a tragedy what happened."
On Sunday morning, Hosty got word that Flint had died in his sleep, just hours after exchanging vows with his bride.
"He was a singer-songwriter, through and through, and just a big personality, a big heart, and (he'd) bend over backwards to do anything for you. When any musician asks you to play at their wedding, it's one of those most important days ... and it's always an honor," Hosty said.
"I really just like remembering that happy moment of seeing them being married ... but I really feel for Brenda."
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.
"The cause of death has not yet been determined."
"I have never met a new artist that was so loved and had so many fans. It takes you years to build that — and that's what Jake had. Oh my gosh, he was adored and loved by everybody. Jake didn't have an enemy in the world. He was willing to do anything for anybody ... and he had a very good business mind. There's only one Jake Flint," said Brenda Cline, Flint's business adviser, former manager and partner on a planned business venture.
"It's a loss ... to many — and we're still just reeling in the shock and disbelief of this. We've all lost friends, we've all lost family members, it's life. But I don't think I've ever experienced such a shocking set of circumstances with losing someone and how cruel this for Brenda, his wife. To become a bride and a widow in just a few hours is unfathomable. I just can't imagine what she's going through."
