Christian singing couple Jodi King and Chris Rademaker of Love & the Outcome recently came to Winnipeg on vacation just in time to say goodbye to their dad.
"He was admitted to cardiac ICU the day we arrived in Winnipeg and never came out," says the band on Instagram. "We didn’t get the chance to ask for prayer, it happened so quickly."
The couple is originally from Manitoba but have lived in Tennessee for many years pursuing their dream of singing Christian music for a living. The two, along with their sons, came to Winnipeg last Thursday for a visit. It was that same day Rademaker's dad, Bill, had a heart attack.
"Many of you may have met him over the years, he drove our bus and always said he was a “roadie for Jodi”. If you ever met dad rad you know he gave the most epic hugs and became your friend instantly."
The couple is asking that people pray for the family as they mourn the loss of not only their dad but the two boys' grandfather.
"Ziggy keeps asking if grandpa is gonna get better, and Milo cries and then goes to sit on his thinking rock. We are broken and can’t imagine life without dad, grandpa. Very thankful we were able to be here and hold his hand and say goodbye."
Love & the Outcome recently announced on social media that they are back to being Indie artists, releasing music independently.
