Luke Bryan's Family Guide
Country singer Luke Bryan was born to LeClaire and Tommy Bryan. He has experienced significant loss, including the death of his brother Chris in 1996 and his sister Kelly in 2007.
Luke Bryan was born in July 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia, as the youngest sibling to brother Chris Bryan and sister Kelly Bryan. At 19, he faced a devastating loss when his brother Chris died in a car accident, which led him to pause his move to Nashville and attend college at Georgia Southern University.
“When Chris passed away, it was devastating because no one was more fired up about me going to Nashville than him,”
A decade later, Luke’s sister Kelly suddenly passed away in 2007, and her husband Ben Cheshire died seven years later, leaving behind their children Jordan, Kris, and Til.
