"On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak. I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the altar; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle. I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you."
He continued: "I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don't know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy... We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that."
The singer concluded: "My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever."
