Kenny Rogers' wife Wanda shared several photos of the late-singer with their two young boys, taken long before he died on March 20, 2020. The 81-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer, best known for songs like "The Gambler" and "Lady" is remembered for his warmth and his extraordinary musical legacy.

"We can all take some comfort in knowing the music lives on," a post at the Kenny Rogers Instagram page reads, with the #sweetmusicman hashtag.

When i listen to kenny at my age of 54 its like going back in time to the 70's and 80's.

My favorite song is "Lady" that he performs with Lionel Richie. We never know how long we're given on this Earth so cherish each day God allows us to have here. ❤

I met him as a 15 yr old girl at Silver Dollar City when he was there for a break between concerts. I asked if I could take his picture and he said if I could while he was walking because he was short on time. My camera acted up and I couldn't get the picture. He sought me out later and asked if I got the picture. I explained what happened and he stood and let me take another picture of him. He made sure before he left I was able to get his picture. He didn't have to do that. I remember that to this day like it was yesterday. Almost 33 yrs ago. Wow time flies. He was so nice and friendly. Just himself! He really cared about whether a 15 yr old girl was able to get his pic or not. He'd never see me again so he could have just brushed me off with a not now kid or something but he didn't. I didn't know he knew my camera was acting up but he did. He could've just left but instead he took time to find me and make sure I got his picture.

Kenny Rogers was my Mom's favorite singer. She absolutely loved him. She passed away 2 days after him last year. She now has a front row seat to his concerts. Her all favorite time was "The Ballard of Calico " She played that religiously every Saturday morning during my childhood. Her love of Kenny rubbed off on me. My favorite is Coward of The County. 💗

I followed Kenny's Concert's all around the Chicagoland area from Pheasant Run Dinner Theatre in St Charles, IL, Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, IL and Star Plaza Theater in Merrillville, Indiana. Not just three concerts but over a dozen over the years and Kenny has always been my #1 Country Singer. Prayers go out to Wife and twin boys.

He’s my father’s favorite singer and mine as well..when I missed my dad, I played Kenny Rogers Songs and sing along with it. Kenny’s music comforted me when I missed my father. Thank you Kenny for all the wonderful songs. You might be gone in this world but your music lives on.

[russellcrawley]

The Gambler, Through The Years, She Believes In Me, Coward of The County, so many more great songs. His music makes up more than half of the soundtrack of my life. When the Good Lord called him home, I was so devastated I couldn't speak for days. Rest easy Kenny, and thank you.

[beckiarlt]

Lady is my all time favorite! God bless y’all for sharing!

[lindabarcus]

He has so many songs he has sung over the years that I have enjoyed. He will be truly missed my sympathy goes to all his family members. Such a great man. He may be gone but he won't be forgotten.
