Anne Marie "Ree" Drummond is the host for the hit Food Network Show, Pioneer Woman. The show, which aired in 2011, features Ree Drummond and her family's life on an Oklahoma ranch, and Ree's homemade recipes and time-saving tips in the kitchen.
A well-known and loved television personality, Ree and her family have stolen the hearts of American families across the country.
If you have ever watched the show, like me, you would understand that family values and relationships are a constant theme in the show. Ree's children and husband consistently appear on the show, as well as their extended family from time to time.
Their close-knit family relationship makes the most recent news about the Southern clan, shocking and devastating to friends, family, and fans across the country.
Today, November 3, news was released that Ree Drummond's brother, Michael Smith, has passed away.
On Tuesday, Ree Drummond's sister, Betsy Smith, dedicated a heartfelt post to her late brother.
The sweet caption read,
"We lost Michael, my sweet and wonderful brother, this last weekend. He was one of a kind, and he will be missed by so many people who loved him. I’m very thankful for his life, the connections he made and his caring, fun and independent spirit. Love you forever, Mikey".
Michael has been called a "local hero" by friends on social media, and will be missed by many.
While the cause of death has not been confirmed, sources say Michael had special needs.
Michael was featured on an episode of his sister's show in 2013, and Ree commented that welcoming "Cowboy Mike" on the show was her favorite episode "for obvious reasons".
While Drummond has not made a public comment in reference to her brother's passing, friends and family are asking for privacy and prayers during this hard time.
