Randy Travis’ voice is one of the few that truly gives me the chills.

Sadly, he suffered from a stroke many years ago – but that didn’t stop him from giving a beautiful rendition of ”Amazing Grace” in honor of fellow country music star, George Jones.

Performing at the Grand Ole Opry, the legendary performer was backlit by blue and purple lighting as he paid respects to the recently lost George Jones.

Travis was joined by peers like Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, and Travis Tritt.

Mary, Travis’s wife, has publicly discussed her husband’s difficult stroke and how helpful devoted fans have been during this time.

One fateful day in July 2013, Randy Travis was rushed to a Dallas hospital with complications of viral cardiomyopathy. He suffered a stroke, needed brain surgery, and ended up in a coma. The doctors said his chances of making it were low; the country and gospel music icon only had a 1 or 2 percent chance of survival.

As a result, there was little point in continuing their efforts to sustain his life.

His wife, Mary Davis Travis, had the option to simply shut down the life-support and let her husband fall asleep. The doctors put the question directly to her. What did she want to do?

However, she chose to break all the normal rules. Instead of following the norm and listening to doctors, she elected to do something completely different.

The experts might have given him just a 1 to 2% chance of surviving, but Mary knew her husband was a fighter. For her, turning off the respirators was simply not an option.
