Doug Supernaw: DEAD!

Supernaw was an American country music artist. After several years performing as a local musician throughout the state of Texas, he signed with BNA Records in 1993. Supernaw released four studio albums: Red and Rio Grande (1993), Deep Thoughts from a Shallow Mind (1994), You Still Got Me (1995), and Fadin’ Renegade (1999), as well as two compilation albums, 1997’s The Encore Collection, and 2017’s Greatest Hits. Between 1993 and 1996, he charted 11 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, including “I Don’t Call Him Daddy”, his only number one single in late 1993. Is he super now? Naw, as he died on November 18 at age 60 of lung and bladder cancer.

Chuck Yeager: DEAD!

He was a United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot who in 1947 became the first pilot in history confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight, or as his wife commanded him, “Punch a hole in the sky”. His achievement paved the way for manned space flight and was documented in the book and movie “The Right Stuff”. He is now in the sky as he passed away on December 7 at the age of 97
