"We should be going through wedding photos, but instead, I have to pick out clothes to bury my husband in," Brenda addressed her husband's passing in a statement to Instagram. "People aren't meant to feel this much pain. My heart is gone, and I just really need him to come back. I can't take much more. I need him here." Smith's longtime publicist Clif Doyal also mourned the loss of the singer, "He was not only a client, he was a dear friend and just a super nice guy. As you can see from the outpouring on social media, he was loved by everybody. I think a lot of it was just that he was a people person, and he had an amazing sense of humor. He made everybody laugh, and he made everybody feel welcome."
