At the time of Davis’ death, McEntire was one of the many country music stars who spoke out about his impact.

\"Thank you, dear Lord Jesus, for letting us know the man to whom you gave the most incredible talent,\" McEntire said in a statement. \"He entertained and spread joy to so many people. What a wonderful legacy he left all of us with his music. Mac was one of a kind. I’m so blessed to have been one of his many friends.\"
