Swindell, who has previously shared that he wrote the song in memory of his late father, posted a photo of Stewart on Facebook on Oct. 5.
“This is Brennan Stewart. HUGE country music fan,” Swindell wrote. “He was 1 of the 59 that never made it home Sunday night. I’ve seen his cover of “You Should Be Here” and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. I will be thinking of him and the others who lost their lives every time I sing that song.”
In a statement to the Las Vegas Review Journal, Stewart’s family shared that he “rarely missed an opportunity to attend a country concert.”
“Brennan was the kind of guy who always put others before himself; including up to the moment he lost his life, Brennan shielded his girlfriend and helped others to safety,” the statement continued. “Brennan made close friends quickly; was loved and will be missed greatly by family and friends, but his memory will live on.”
