While Worley’s management team asked fans for love and support while the singer dealt with the devastation, the singer added in a separate post, “I don’t think I will get this sight out of my mind for a long time! I’ve seen other people go through things like this and I truly hurt for them. You just don’t really know and understand until it happens to you. It’s the worst feeling! In that moment that Kimberly captured I was overwhelmed with the feelings of helplessness, sadness, confusion, and grief!”
Darryl Worley Promises To Rebuild
Although Worley struggled with the memories they lost during the fire, he found peace in knowing that not only was his family safe but so were the animals who called the barn home. “I woke up this morning feeling thankful for all the love and support from so many, for the fact that all our animals escaped, for my family being safe, and for God’s love and protection! Please continue to keep us in your prayers and thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Showering the country singer with love, fans offered a different outlook on the fire with one person writing, “It’s tough lettin go of stuff, but that’s what it really is…stuff. The memories aren’t in the object, but in our minds. As long as you and yours are safe, those memories last forever.”
