Kane Brown is mourning the loss of his longtime drummer Kenny Dixon, who died Saturday following a car crash.

“Love you so much dude!!! You started all of this with me from the start in 2015 when no body else believed we would make it out of Chattanooga playing for 500 people and your last show was in a Fn Stadium my guy,” the country star wrote on Instagram. “I know u will be watching over us with that red neck accent that we all love and you will never be replaced bro!!! I promise u that!!”

In a statement, Brown’s team called Dixon “truly one of the greatest and kindest people on and off stage we’ve ever known.”

The musician, who was 27, was scheduled to marry fiancée Sarah Hedrick at the end of November. The couple has a 3-year-old son.
