Kyle Jacobs, Kellie Pickler’s husband and fellow musician, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Friday, February 17. The incident occurred at approximately 1:21 p.m., and officers were dispatched to Pickler’s apartment immediately.
Kyle and Kellie had been married for a long time and did not have any children. Although the circumstances surrounding Jacobs’ suicide are unknown, Kellie told police that her husband had been missing since she awoke. When Pickler’s aide couldn’t get the upstairs bedroom door open, she called the cops.
News Channel 5’s Henry Rothenberg paid tribute to Jacobs on Facebook by uploading a video and writing,
“You will be missed, Kyle Jacobs, for your companionship and talent for bringing people together through music.”
Kyle’s most recent Instagram post featured a photo of Lee Brice’s album Hello World, along with the announcement that it had been certified platinum. Jacobs expressed his joy at the news, saying he was a part of the record and felt privileged to have been a part of it.

“Kyle and I were in Rosemary Beach, [Florida], on what he called a ‘vacation’ on that day in 2010. We went for a sunset walk on the beach after a romantic dinner… I had no idea he’d secretly buried a small wooden box in the sand.”
The box also contained a notebook written by Jacobs, a seashell with Kellie’s grandmother’s name engraved on it, and an engagement ring. Pickler later spoke with Us Weekly about her desire to expand her family. She stated at the time,
“We have two puppies. We are dog parents for the time being.”
