Kellie Pickler's husband Kyle Jacobs, who was also a musician, recently died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Friday, February 17. The incident happened at around 1:21 pm and cops were immediately called to Pickler's residence. Kyle and Kellie were married for a long time and did not have any children.
The causes leading to Jacobs' suicide are still a mystery, but Kellie reported to the cops that her husband had been missing ever since she woke up. The upstairs bedroom door did not open and after several attempts by Pickler, her assistant called the police officers for help.

"Your friendship, your gift of bringing people together with your gift of music…you will be missed Kyle Jacobs."
Kyle's latest post on Instagram featured a picture of the album Hey World by Lee Brice and the post revealed that the album has been certified platinum. Jacobs expressed his happiness towards the news, saying that he was a part of the album and was honored to be a part of it.
