Country music star Lauren Alaina took to social media recently with a tear-filled video and a revelation about her father, J.J. Suddeth, who died in July 2024.
“This is a really hard video for me to make, but I’m going to do it to honor my dad,” Alaina said. “Today would have been his 13th year of sobriety if he would have made it. He passed away a little over a year ago, but he didn’t make it to his 12th year either, and I’m not even sure about his 11th.
“He relapsed and that’s a major contributing factor as to why he is no longer here with us,” she continued. “And I just wanted to say that if you are struggling, there are so many people who love you, and for you to love yourself and to get the help that you need and surround yourself with people who love you.”
Alaina then showed that she was going through some of her father’s clothes.
“I’m going to pick out some of my favorites and make a blanket for my daughter, and I’m going to donate the rest to a veteran organization so that maybe there’s a man out there who needs it that can wear my dad’s clothes,” she continued. “And find the hope that my dad couldn’t find. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Life is so short. Take care of yourselves. There are people who love you. Don’t ever forget that.”
Taste of Country noted that Suddeth was a military veteran.
