(Georgetown, TX)  --  Granger Smith is mourning the death of his youngest son. 

The country star posted on social media today River Kelly Smith could not be revived by doctors following a tragic accident.  

Granger Smith says his son's organs have been donated to help other children and called the three-year-old a special person who brought joy to others. 

He is asking people to make donations to Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas in River's name instead of sending flowers or gifts.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I have to deliver unthinkable news. We’ve lost our youngest son, River Kelly Smith. Following a tragic accident, and despite doctor’s best efforts, he was unable to be revived. Amber and I made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second chance at life. Our family is devastated and heartbroken, but we take solace in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father. Riv was special. Everyone that met him knew that immediately. The joy he brought to our lives cannot be expressed and his light will be forever in our hearts. If there are words to say more, I cannot find them in this moment. Love the ones close to you. There has never been a more difficult moment for us than this. . . In lieu of flowers or gifts, please send donations to Dell Children’s Medical Center in River’s name. The doctors, nurses and staff have been incredible.
