Luke Bryan raising his 13-year-old nephew following brother-in-law's death - Fox News

Luke Bryan opened up for the first time about his decision to raise his nephew following the unexpected death of his brother-in-law Ben Lee Cheshire in November. Cheshire was married to Bryan's sister Kelly, who died in 2007 of unknown causes, and the couple shared three children. The country singer and his wife Caroline are now raising their 13-year-old nephew Til along with their sons Bo, 6, and Tate, 4 in Nashville. Til's older sisters visit their brother frequently, Bryan said. "We feel like if we just stay positive through this, maybe we'll be a positive inspiration for people that had these things happen to 'em," Bryan told ABC News. Bryan's older brother Chris died in a car accident at 26 in 1996. "I have chalked it up to this," Bryan told ABC in 2013 after opening up about his older siblings' deaths. God said Chris Byran has 26 years, Kelly Cheshire has 39 years and ultimately, I can't question that. Besides receiving support from Til's two older sisters, Bryan said his country music family has rallied around him. Bryan was set to perform at the CMT Artists of the Year special but canceled his performance to attend his brother-in-law's funeral. Source: www.foxnews.com
