“My dad particularly always thought it was important that I dressed like a performer,” he told The Tennessean. “A lot of these country music talent quests I did in Australia, they often had categories for best dressed male or best dressed female and I often won. Sometimes it was the only thing I won.”

As Keith continues to grieve the loss of a special man, we couldn’t help but be touched when we found the singer’s post from February.

“Being a Dad gives me a WHOLE new love and appreciation for my Dad—and everything he’s done for me,” he wrote on Facebook as he enjoys raising two daughters.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Urban family during this difficult time.
