Earlier this month, country music legend Roy Clark tragically passed away at the age of 85.

Clark was best known for his long-running show “Hee Haw,” which many country music stars grew up watching religiously. That’s why country music singers have been taking to social media since his death to talk about how much he will be missed.

“When the Nashville floods wiped out most of my guitars, Roy heard about it & showed up at a show and gave me one of his,” Brad Paisley tweeted alongside photos of himself with Clark. “This is who this man was. Constantly giving. I owe him so much. Go say hi to my Papaw for me Roy. You left the world a much better place.”

“Roy Clark was an amazing musician and entertainer. He made pickin’ look fun to all of us young kids. I loved Roy Clark and he loved me. I’ll really miss him but he will not miss me where he’s at. There’s no missing in Heaven,” Ricky Skaggs wrote on Twitter.

“My first CMA memory is sitting on my living room floor watching Roy Clark tear it up. Sending my love and respect to him and his family for all he did,” wrote beloved singer Keith Urban.

Country music star Blake Shelton recalled growing up watching Clark on television.

“Very sad to hear about the passing of a fellow Okie and country music artist Roy Clark,” Shelton tweeted. “Roy was one of the first country artist I ever saw on TV. Prayers for his family.”

“Roy Clark was one of the true nice guys in our business. I am blessed that he was part of my life. I grew up watching him on Hee Haw and was then invited to join the @opry by him in 2007. He will surely be missed,” tweeted Josh Turner.

There will never be another performer like Roy Clark. Rest in peace, Roy!
