Mindy McCready misses boyfriend's memorial
Country star Mindy Mccready declined to attend a memorial for her late boyfriend in Arkansas, according to a U.S. report.
Music producer David Wilson, the father of McCready's nine-month-old son Zayne, died on 13 January (13) from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Family and friends gathered at Stone Chapel in Fayetteville on 19
January (13) to pay their last respects, but McCready and Zayne
were not present, according to a source who helped organize the
gathering.
The insider, a friend of Wilson's, tells EOnline.com, "She might
have wanted to deal with it in her own way. I think she wanted
something more private with her family.
"It was really nice we could put something together to remember
him. We had several people speak about their fun times with Dave...
He was the most humbling (sic) guy. He was real quiet and very
calm. Everyone loved him and he could make anyone laugh."
The half-hour service finished with a recording of Wilson
performing Amazing Grace on the clarinet.
Singer McCready released a touching statement paying tribute to
Wilson after his death: "David was my soulmate... He was a precious
gift from God to all of us and, yesterday, he returned home and is
now with his mother and father. David loved and he was loved. Those
who knew and loved him will miss him; those who did not know David
missed the opportunity to know a truly loving and gifted man."
