LifeNotes: Reba's Father, Clark McEntire, Dies
Reba‘s father Clark McEntire died Thursday (Oct. 23) in Coalgate, Okla. He was 86.
“Daddy passed away last night in Coalgate, OK at 11 pm CST,” entertainer Reba told fans via social media. “He had been in the nursing home for a while and we’re very thankful he is not suffering anymore. He was a born and bred cowboy through and through. He had been sick for 5 years. It makes total sense to me, he always told us kids never to run your horse to the barn. He was just taking his time to go on home.”
He leaves behind wife Jacqueline, as well as daughters Reba, Susie, Alice, and son Pake. Born Nov. 30, 1927, McEntire was a three-time World Champion steer roper (1957-58; 1961), and was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1979.
Arrangement are pending.
Earlier this week, Reba became the first artist to sign with the NASH Icon label. The singer is planning new music for 2015.
