Travis Tritt Posts Touching Memory With Charlie Daniels on One Year Anniversary of Passing

Country music superstar Travis Tritt is among those remembering the late Charlie Daniels on the one-year anniversary of his death.

A true country music legend, Daniels passed away on July 6, 2020, at the age of 83 from a hemorrhagic stroke. Daniels is most noted for his contributions to southern rock, country and bluegrass music genres. His biggest career hit, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” can still be heard on many radio stations to this day. He became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008 and of the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016.

Daniels had a big fan and friend in fellow country music star Travis Tritt, who was deeply saddened at his passing. Tritt took to social media on Tuesday to share a few photos of himself with Daniels and say a few kind words about his friend. In the social media post, Travis Tritt said he and Williams shared a friendship dating back more than 30 years ago. He also calls Daniels a “mentor” in his moving Instagram post.

“Remembering my dear friend and mentor Charlie Daniels today,” Travis Tritt writes in the social media post. “Sadly, we lost Charlie one year ago on July 6, 2020. I still think of him and miss him every single day. So thankful for the friendship we shared for over three decades!”
