Reflecting on his character, the “Faithfully” singer says his son was “absolute life” and “the biggest personality in our family.”

“He was always grateful to us, always saw us, never discounted us,” he recalls. “I’m so grateful for that. There wasn’t a distant relationship. Sure, we had rubs, he was a wild child… God loves the wild ones. And I believe that with all my heart.”

“It’s walking through this and getting to a point where you can breathe again and live again,” he says. “And still grieving deeply, but gaining a footing to where you can throw your fist up in the air and say, ‘I’m going to live. I’m going to live to honor God… and to believe, but also to honor my son.'”

The album follows his 2022 LPLife After Death,where he wrote about the grief he experienced.
