Mindy McCready's Boyfriend Dead at 34

Donna Svennevik, ABC

Songwriter and producer David Wilson died Sunday, Jan. 13, at the young age of 34. Wilson was country singer Mindy McCready's boyfriend and the father of their 9-month-old son. He had also become a father figure to the singer's older son from a previous relationship.

"David was my soulmate; he was a caregiver and guiding hand to our sons, Zander and Zayne," McCready writes in a statement. "He was a precious gift from God to all of us and, yesterday, he returned home and is now with his mother and father. David loved and he was loved. Those who knew and loved him will miss him; those who did not know David, missed the opportunity to know a truly loving and gifted man."

There is no word yet on the cause of Wilson's death. Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Wilson helped McCready through tumultuous times in her life. It was inside his Arkansas home where authorities found the "Ten Thousand Angels" singer hiding with Zander after a week-long search for the two in December of 2011. She had taken her son from Florida, where he was living with her parents, who had legal custody at the time. Wilson was by McCready's side through the subsequent custody battle over Zander.

Suicide. no matter who it is or his/her status..is not something anyone can accept. A person really has to be hurting to get to this point., feeling no way out: .and yet no one recognizes it or makes themselves attune to it. "Suiciide," is not a cowardly way out....rather it is a person's final cry for help, and they only want to end the pain they are feeling...not their life. They NEED someone to, at least, be astute to their pain, and get help for them. They do NOT want to die....yet feel this is the best/alternative solution to their problems....because they feel no one else is there for them, will validate them (whether one agrees or not,) and/or even try to understand the depth of their emotional pain.

She sure doesn't seem in shock. These rich spoiled whiney brats sit around 24/7, drinking, doing drugs, dropping dead at 34. Good riddance. She's a freak.

She's hardly rich she had 1 hit album many years ago and pissed it all away on drugs. She was never really a big star. She's more of a one hit wonder
