Tucker Beathard Reveals New Tattoo In Honor Of His Late Brother Clayton

Tucker Beathard is honoring the memory of his late brother with a new tattoo. The country singer revealed the new tattoo on Friday (January 3) on social media. The new tattoo on his left arm features the initials CKB for Clayton King Beathard.

Clayton Beathard was one of two men fatally stabbed outside a bar in Midtown Nashville in the early hours of December 21, 2019. Police arrived to the scene shortly before 3 a.m after an argument that started inside the bar moved outside where it turned violent. Clayton and 21-year-old Paul Trapeni III both died after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A third victim was treated and released.

On December 25 police arrested 23-year-old Michael Mosley who's charged with two counts of criminal homicide and one count of attempted criminal homicide in connection with the incident.

Clayton Beathard had just finished his junior year at Long Island University where he also played football. He's the brother to San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback C.J. Beathard as well as country music singer Tucker Beathard. He is the son of famed country songwriter Casey Beathard and his wife Susan.

Tucker previously turned to social media to pay a tribute to his younger brother who he says was naturally a "light" no matter what situation he was in.

"As heartbreaking and hard this experience has been it has also pushed me and my family to a whole new level of faith and what it means to trust God and what his plan is," he continues. "Clay was a true warrior for God and his kingdom and to see the legacy he has made and the lives he has changed, including mine, has given me some perspective on what life is really all about at the end of the day."

Tucker and his brother already had matching tattoos he revealed in his post. "I think the matching Bible verse tattoo that we have sums up perfectly how Clay lived and approached his life here on earth," he shares before sharing the verse, "Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and salvation for whom shall I fear, the lord is the stronghold of my life for whom shall I be afraid.”

On December 21st God sure did get a good one. Anyone who knows Clay knew what kind of light he naturally was in any situation no matter what the circumstances. I’m beyond blessed to have gotten 22 incredible years with him. As heartbreaking and hard this experience has been it has also pushed me and my family to a whole new level of faith and what it means to trust God and what his plan is. Clay was a true warrior for God and his kingdom and to see the legacy he has made and the lives he has changed, including mine, has given me some perspective on what life is really all about at the end of the day. It amazes me to see how Clay already had that perspective... he lived a life here on earth for serving Jesus and had that discernment of right and wrong and the courage to wear his faith on his sleeve. I think God saw the great work he has done and now has rewarded him with a new life in heaven that no one can even fathom how incredible it is, and that thought alone is enough to help me smile in the midst of all this. Clay, I love you and I can’t wait to see you again, and I like to think you looked up to me being your older brother, but the truth is, it’s you who I look up to... I think the matching Bible verse tattoo that we have sums up perfectly how Clay lived and approached his life here on earth... Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and salvation for whom shall I fear, the lord is the stronghold of my life for whom shall I be afraid.”
