Country singer Luke Bryan was born to LeClaire and Tommy Bryan. He experienced significant loss early in life, including the deaths of his brother Chris in 1996 and his sister Kelly in 2007.
Luke Bryan was born in July 1976 in Leesburg, Georgia, as the youngest sibling to brother Chris Bryan and sister Kelly Bryan. At 19, his brother Chris died in a car accident, prompting Luke to attend college at Georgia Southern University instead of moving to Nashville.

A decade later, Luke's sister Kelly suddenly passed away in 2007. Her husband, Ben Cheshire, died seven years later, leaving behind their children, Jordan, Kris, and Til.
