Merle and Waylon you just can't get any better.Go rest high on that mountain. For god knows you deserve it. God be with all of Merle and Waylon's families.
It is so nice to hear about Merle haggard . And it's true is beautiful voice cannot be forgotten . And I just love to hear his songs. Now the sons are taken over the father place ,I am proud to see them
This was the most tear jerking funeral I have ever watched. The whole service was so touching to my heart as I have listened to Merle’s music for many years & enjoyed it so much. I know Merle passed April 6th 2016 a day I will never forget, I thought he would live forever, his music will, I was so sad the tears ran down my cheeks. I’m 84 years old so you know I heard many of his songs. He was the best of the best, can’t believe it’s been seven years since he left us, but I still listen to him every single day, love ya Hag, see ya soon. RIP till we meet again. 😢❤
I know how you feel. I was actually stunned when I heard the news. I didn't even know he was sick. And what you said about him living forever, man I never ever had a thought that some day he'd be gone. Someone with his enormous talent and likeability doesn't come a long more than once in several lifetimes. He was such an important part of my life. So many good memories. I was fortunate to see him live once. What a performance that was. Miss ya man.
I just discovered this video and this service was so awesome---everything--the speakers, the songs, the message. I miss Merle Haggard every bit as much today as when I heard the news several years ago. But one day in heaven I'll get to greet him and thank him for all his wonderful music.
Meryl Haggard might have departed for awhile to be with God..but his memory still lives on..He didn't leave us high and dry..He left memories for us all..thank you Meryl Haggard
I can remember my Grandfather listening to Merle Haggard in the car when we would go on long trips he would have his cassette tape in a tape that would hold about twelve cassettes some of them would be of him singing in churches with a lot of old songs in paperback books that later went in to some of the songbooks that we sing out of today in Churches together today I miss my Grandfather’s deep voice
Gone but never forgotten...His songs will live on and so will he...I know he's with our Lord and Savior...Rest in Peace Merle ~ Your be missed dearly and with fond memories, and the memories you've left us. AMEN !!!
'Sweet Jesus', it doesn't get more beautiful or simple than this. I'm so very thankful to know that Merle passed away knowing Jesus as his Savior! This song is a wonderful testimony. Just beautiful!!
Oh heavenly father take care of all our wonderfu singers that have left their music for us to treasure an all of the memories that left behind. Silence are their voices that noone else can fill . R.I.P. missing them all. In the arms of the lord . Amem🙏

I just now found this. What an awesome memorial service! Rest in peace, Merle. I'm 67. Some of the first songs that I learned on the guitar as a young teenager were songs that you were singing on the little AM radio that sat on our kitchen counter. And now, to hear the testimonies, to see and hear a reading from your well-worn Bible, at times with tears in my eyes, is all such a heartwarming blessing.
With tears streaming I watched this memorial and all I can say is,"it is the most beautiful memorial I've ever seen " I love Merle Haggard and every song he's ever done. I miss him terribly,,rest in peace Merle💔
I am cuban but I love Haggard music, I have all his records and I hear them all days, thank you You Tube for present is burial and the Tribute to Merle, he was unique I missed his sad eyes and his wonderful voice; during hippies days I always sang Okie from Muskogee everywhere.
I lost my father Nov 8th 2007 my daddy always said that merle was the number one singer so when mentioned merle's name in the obituary and I am one of his fans rip we love you merle
This was a beautiful memorial service for Merle. I watched this and tears were running down my face. I have always loved Merle and his recordings. I go back to those in the 1960's. To all his family: we have lost our greatest musician, singer and song writer. I pray his nice looking young boys will keep his spirit alive and continue performing his songs and music. We will never forget Merle Haggard.
A wonderful service, Thank you Lillian for sharing all these memories to Merles cousins who couldn't be there and Thanks to RUclips . RIP now cuz. As Vince Gill sang we will be lost in a world without Haggard! We surely will...Your music will be played daily in my home and on my phone until we see one another On the other side....
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. What a precious loss, that touched so many hearts with his love for music and his truth in his songs. God'bless each of you.
Never gonna be the same missing this man is just some thing I am gonna do for the rest of my life..I have loved him and his music all my life and to think he is gone is just to sad..
Merle Haggard was one of my all time favorites. I always wanted to meet him but never got to. I could really relate to most of his songs and learned to sing a lot of them. I miss him greatly. R.I.P. Merle!
Merle was born and died on his birthday what a gift .. it's my belief that the Creator my Lord and Savior opens your book and there is a day that you're born into life and a day that you leave this life and you move on to your next assignment what a wonderful spirit Merle Haggard was
A great sermon.And no one loved and liked Merle as much as I did. I saw many of his concerts- 13 was the amount of concerts I saw him. I know his beloved family will miss him- And so will all his fans. Rest in peace Merle and I know one day we will all meet again.
merle was a very big influence on my father Roger Tripp , who was lucky enough to be in attendance for this beautiful service(first one at the chuch lol), and through my dad i loved the hags music just as much , i remembered dad singing merle to us as kids and i did the same with all my kids , and the love for merles music that my dad had was so powerful , that my kids always say daddy its merle whenever i play my dad's music , the impact merle had on my dad is very obvious when you listen to his own music and the impact he had on people all over the world is undeniable , merle you meant the world to me and my family especially my dad and your music and legacy will live on forever, i had the pleasure of seeing you perform a few times (with my dad of course lol) and it blew me away , merle thank you and may you rest in peace.
The has really touch my Heart, deeply.. A beloved fan of Mearlv Heard, I have been blessed by most of his wonderful Songs. Truly he's blessed, to have written such Graceful, and touching songs. RIP. God Love you my dearest Brother. May you find perfect Peace with God.Amen😇
This is a shock I stumbled on, Merle passed away,Oh my God, a man who has given me joy, comfort and peace through his songs. I thank you and if my life prolong a little more I would listen to your songs as if you are still here singing. Sing with the angels Merle and when we look up into the skies we would see you there.
I'm still crying over the passing of the greatest singer, songwriter in the WORLD, I can't listen to him without crying, I lost three loves of my life this year, in Feb. my husband, my brother, then April lost Merle, I'm so sad.
A beautiful tribute to the greatest singer/songwriter in the history of country music. I am so thankful for all of you who have posted all of these great Merle Haggard songs, pictures, videos of this awesome man. I think of him everyday, listen to his music everyday, miss him everyday. He was one of a kind, he will never be replaced, the very essence of a true ICON.
Just after thanksgiving. I feel I was blessed to have lived to see and hear Merle's inspiring music and life ! All my 70 years ! My prayers are I've learned to be a better Man and a blessing to others. !
a world with Mele Haggard.....a world without a voice to heaven......inspiration to many....huge loss to the world of fine country & Gospel music.... so sad, hugs from Australia
I grew up loving Merle! He was my Dad's favorite! I was in charge of the record player, would play Merle's records and sat on the porch and sang these songs with my Dad! Those were special times! Dad gone now, but still loved his songs!
So beautiful! Like many others, I still miss Merle Haggard over a month after his passing. However, I know that all of the love within the room and even beyond those walls prove that Merle's memory will live forever! Rest in Peace, dear one.
cried all day when I learned of his passing . Merle road in the cab of my semi for 40 years . Kern River blues will be played at my wake . Thanks Merle . RIP.
What a Precious Gift to be able to witness the Memorial Service and to Celebrate the Life and Salvation of our Brother in Christ, Merle. This has been so touching and helps bring closure, for me and, I think, for so many! Thank you for making this available, so that folks, even years later, as with me, can share & feel the sense of Community that Christians know, with this beloved one, who ministered to us all with his music. 😊 Wonderful ~ ~ ~
Where ever Merle is, he left for us three gifts to enjoy, his talented sons Marty, Noel and Ben who each have a part of him! R. I. P. Merle your memory lives on!
What a blessing. Oftentimes Merle, brought tears with his music as the Lord, used him to spread the Gospel. Just A Closer Walk With Thee, is one of those.
Gone but never forgotten...His songs will live on and so will he...I know he's with our Lord and Savior...Rest in Peace Merle ~ Your be missed dearly and with fond memories, and the memories you've left us. AMEN !!!
When my husband and I got married, Valentine's day of 2020, we were married in a Baptist Church. Although it had never been done there, I walked down the aisle to "Nobody's darlin but mine" and walked out of the chapel to "Mama tried".... Merle Haggard was with us, even though he was no longer living. It was perfect!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!
Gone but never forgotten...His songs will live on and so will he...I know he's with our Lord and Savior...Rest in Peace Merle ~ Your be missed dearly and with fond memories, and the memories you've left us. AMEN !!!
Holiday Inn, Eau claire, wis. 1971. I was a huge fan of Merle Haggard at the time and had I think every record he put out up to that time. Merle was doing a show in town and staying at the Holiday Inn. I was closing the bar and ringing out the till, when I noticed a very familiar figure walking through the dining room. Excitedly, I approached him and said, 'Mr. Haggard'. With that he turned around and said he was looking for his room but had gotten turned around. I told him there was no one in the bar, and I would be proud to buy him a drink. "I could sure use one," he replied. With that we went into the dim lit bar, I poured him a triple shot of Crown Royal, and we had a great conversation for about a half hour. One of the highlights of my life!
Gorgeous Man MERLE HAGGARD DIDN'T KNOW HE PASSED I LOVED HIS MUSIC SO MUCH R.I.P. BEAUTIFUL MERLE HAGGARD YOU SING SO BEAUTIFUL AWESOME MAN LOVE YOU SO MUCH AMEN BLESS YOU WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH
R I P Merle. You gave a lot of yourself to the world. Now enjoy your life with our Lord and Savior. I have enjoyed your music so much. Love all of your music.
A heart warming voice. A gospel song with a deep meaning. You are a legendary song writer Merle Haggard. Your memory enshrined to the hearts of your fans.
Beautiful Service Rendition,In Memory Of Merle . Thanks Lillian For,Stories of Your Family. ♡ xxoo.♡ Blessings to,All His Family and friends. 🙏 . R.I.P Merle Haggard. Thanks ABC For,This. ☺. Great Song, Vince Gill ♡ 🙏 Bless you.
If all the thousands of people that saw Merles memorial would do one think that Merle did to honor him, pray the sinners prayer and follow Jesus!! I did when I was 12. Now I am almost 80. Played Hags songs all my life, honor the Hag, follow JESUS !!
After my parents has passed and I was still grieving so much I said to some friends, “all of us that have faith and believe our loved ones have died only now to have everlasting life and to know they are with our Lord, then why do we sit and cry so, missing our loved ones so much?” I guess because we do miss them so deeply. I was lucky enough to see and hear Merle in a small concert, in a casino concert hall, front row could have touched his boots if I had reached out. It was a beautiful evening. I think it was a year or two before he died. I feel so lucky and miss him. I pray for his wife and children and hope they are comforted by their memories and all their pictures and film of him. May they take comfort also as they sing his music and feel the love from their audiences. Each one of you are loved very much. God bless and hold you. ❤
Merle Haggard is Gone but never forgotten...His songs will live on and so will he...I know he's with our Lord and Savior...Rest in Peace Merle ~ Your be missed dearly and with fond memories, and the memories you've left us. AMEN !!!

I grew up loving Merle! He was my Dad's favorite! I was in charge of the record player, would play Merle's records and sat on the porch and sang these songs with my Dad! Those were special times! Dad gone now, but still loved his songs!
So beautiful! Like many others, I still miss Merle Haggard over a month after his passing. However, I know that all of the love within the room and even beyond those walls prove that Merle's memory will live forever! Rest in Peace, dear one.
cried all day when I learned of his passing . Merle road in the cab of my semi for 40 years . Kern River blues will be played at my wake . Thanks Merle . RIP.

What a Precious Gift to be able to witness the Memorial Service and to Celebrate the Life and Salvation of our Brother in Christ, Merle. This has been so touching and helps bring closure, for me and, I think, for so many! Thank you for making this available, so that folks, even years later, as with me, can share & feel the sense of Community that Christians know, with this beloved one, who ministered to us all with his music. 😊 Wonderful ~ ~ ~

When my husband and I got married, Valentine's day of 2020, we were married in a Baptist Church. Although it had never been done there, I walked down the aisle to "Nobody's darlin but mine" and walked out of the chapel to "Mama tried".... Merle Haggard was with us, even though he was no longer living. It was perfect!
That's awesome. Love Merle

Merle was amazing and wish he was still with us
Holiday Inn, Eau claire, wis. 1971. I was a huge fan of Merle Haggard at the time and had I think every record he put out up to that time. Merle was doing a show in town and staying at the Holiday Inn. I was closing the bar and ringing out the till, when I noticed a very familiar figure walking through the dining room. Excitedly, I approached him and said, 'Mr. Haggard'. With that he turned around and said he was looking for his room but had gotten turned around. I told him there was no one in the bar, and I would be proud to buy him a drink. "I could sure use one," he replied. With that we went into the dim lit bar, I poured him a triple shot of Crown Royal, and we had a great conversation for about a half hour. One of the highlights of my life!

Hi Patsy....i'm also a huge fan of Merle Haggard...Merle has forth a good fight he has touch life's with is music...Rest in power Merle
A very respectful beautiful way to do Merle Service . A have his music and I saw him many times. And earthly but great man....
After my parents has passed and I was still grieving so much I said to some friends, “all of us that have faith and believe our loved ones have died only now to have everlasting life and to know they are with our Lord, then why do we sit and cry so, missing our loved ones so much?” I guess because we do miss them so deeply. I was lucky enough to see and hear Merle in a small concert, in a casino concert hall, front row could have touched his boots if I had reached out. It was a beautiful evening. I think it was a year or two before he died. I feel so lucky and miss him. I pray for his wife and children and hope they are comforted by their memories and all their pictures and film of him. May they take comfort also as they sing his music and feel the love from their audiences. Each one of you are loved very much. God bless and hold you. ❤
