Feek still lives in their little farmhouse in Pottsville and has been looking for a way to keep his wife's memory alive. For the singer, music is the best way to express all he feels within.

The 55-year-old Grammy award-winning musician is preparing to release his first album without his late wife Joey by his side. His album "Gentle Man" features the song "One Angel," written by one of Joey's friends as a tribute to her.

As a loving dad, Feek has done all he can to ensure his little girl grows up to know how much she is loved.

Before her death in 2016, Joey and Feek made history as part of the singing duo Joey + Rory. Some of their songs were inspired by their adorable love story.

It came as no surprise when Feek revealed that Joey's last words to him were a line from his song "Josephine," which told the story of a couple in love.

During an interview, Feek said that they repeated "I love you" to each other three times before she left. Following her death, the award-winning singer has turned to his daughter Indianna for support.

Indiana was born with down syndrome a few months after Joey was diagnosed. The singer has been raising her as a single dad while getting help from his older daughters Heidi, 33, and Hopie, 31, from his first marriage.
