Sam is devastated about his mother’s death. On Wednesday (March 23), he shared a statement with CMT, which read:
“Now she gets to radiate from above with my sister Katherine Diana right by her side. She grew up competing in baton and cheerleading and was one of Hawaiian Tropic’s top models. My father fell in love with the Daytona Beach beauty the minute he set eyes on her in the early 80s. They went on to live the most powerful love story of travel and hunting and raising a family…“
On Monday (March 28), Sam shared a touching tribute to his mom on social media. The tribute contained a slideshow of photos showcasing Mary Jane and her family through the years. He wrote, “I will always be the son of Mary Jane. RIP MAMA. I love you forever. Miss Spruce Creek High School, Miss Hawaiian Tropic, Miss Mary Jane Williams, my mama forever my everything.”
Since his wife’s death, Hank Jr.’s social media accounts have stayed silent…until Tuesday (March 29).
He wrote, “Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers during this time. The family has encouraged me to perform this weekend. Not only is it healing but I do not want to disappoint my fans who have purchased tickets.”
