“Texas Is Home, and Our Hearts Are with Every Family Affected,” Says the Strait Family in Heartfelt Message
In the wake of the devastating floods that have swept through Texas, the Strait family—beloved across generations not only for their music but for their unwavering connection to the Lone Star State—has released a deeply personal statement expressing their sorrow and solidarity.
Shared directly from their hometown of Pearsall, the message didn’t come through formal channels or a polished media release. It came straight from the heart.
“Texas is our home,” the family wrote. “Our hearts break for every life lost, every family still searching, and every neighbor who’s lost everything except their faith.”
George Strait, 73, known as the King of Country, has long kept a quiet, steadfast devotion to the people of Texas. But in this moment of shared grief, it wasn’t just George—it was a message from the whole family, including his wife Norma and son Bubba—who felt compelled to speak.
Their statement looked back on George’s early days performing in humble venues along Texas backroads, where his legacy took root in community, resilience, and love for home. They acknowledged that while the family has known great success, no accolade compares to the well-being of the people they call neighbors.
“No title, no award, no song will ever mean more to us than standing with Texans during times like these.”
The family also honored the first responders, volunteers, and everyday Texans who have stepped up in the midst of the disaster—calling them “the real heroes of Texas.” And they shared heartfelt sorrow for those still waiting for news, still clinging to hope.
One quiet line from their message has quickly captured hearts across the state and beyond:
“When the floodwaters rise, so does the heart of Texas.”
The message ended not with a plea for attention, but with a pledge of unity and compassion:
“We’re praying with you. We’re grieving with you. And we’re standing with you—until the waters recede and healing begins.”
In a time of immense loss, the Strait family’s words offer what George has always delivered best: dignity, strength, and a song of hope woven through even the darkest storms.
