Darius Rucker is mourning the loss of his longtime production manager, who was known as a “brother” to him and his team for more than two decades. Jason Parkin died earlier this week, Rucker confirmed as he shared a tribute in his honor.
Rucker shared a photo of Parkin on his social media pages on Wednesday afternoon (October 2). He wrote in his caption on Instagram: “For nearly 25 years, Jason ‘Devil Boy’ Parkin was a staple in our crew. He was more than our production manager, he was our brother. We are devastated by his passing this week. Our prayers are with his family - thank you for loaning him to us all these years. Rest in peace DB, til we meet again. - DR.”
The Hootie & the Blowfish star’s post quickly garnered sympathetic messages from commenters, including Jake Owen and Lady A’s Charles Kelley, among many others. See Rucker’s tribute to his late production manager and friend here:
