I remember hearing what had to have been among the earliest reports of his death (if not THE earliest). I was in a little town in southwestern Pennsylvania (Mononagahela). I was in the parking lot of McDonalds and it came over the car radio. A few minutes earlier, there'd been a report that Conway had been rushed to the hospital. I don't remember the exact time, but it was in the morning. I remember the date-June 5, 1993.

I remember hearing this guy that sounded a bit like Elvis, the song was "Only Make Believe" I wasn't much into country until I moved to Houston in 1976 and I heard this song "After All The Good Is Gone" I feel in love with it and rediscovered Conway!

I know Conway Twitty pretty well he went to school my grandpa when he was in town doing a show he would always stop and stay the night with my grandma and grandpa so I knew the man long before I knew his music cuz I was so young I really didn't listen to music into my later years and I learned appreciated music too but he was a great guy some of those pictures of him in my house that picture is out there with me on his shoulder holding up my finger like number one he definitely had the ladies crushing on him that's for sure Conway Twitty is the goat of country music in my mind 55 number one hits at the time of his early death and reason will tell you he would add a few more in him if he had not died when he did it he's also the only artist to have a number one hit in five different decades 50 60 70 80s and 90s never been done before and haven't been done since rip Conway

I bumped into him once - literally. I was a musician and our band was setting up our equipment, one day, to work for a couple of weeks at the Astro Village Hotel across from the Astrodome in Houston. The Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show was on that week and Conway was in town to perform. It was afternoon and I was rushing from the bar, back out to my truck, to get more musical equipment. I was hurrying and walked out the bar door into the lobby looking down. I ran right into some guy, kinda head on, and said, "Whew...excuse me." I looked up to see I had almost bowled over Conway Twitty who was headed into the bar. I had a big piano belt buckle....don't know if he saw that or not. But he had a big grin on his face when he saw the recognition on my face. This may sound trite but he had this big smile and very kind eyes. He just chuckled and had this friendly look. I never forgot that. He made a lot of great music. As a musician I was in bands that covered many of his tunes. Rest in peace, sir.

I was doing shows at the same theatre that Conway was doing shows at. I literally saw him the day before he died. A very good friend of mine that I went to school with, worked at that hospital at the time, and was part of the hospital staff that tended to Conway. My friend said that he apologetic to the staff for having to care for him, he didn’t want to be an inconvenience. It was truly a heartbreaking ordeal, and was even more heartbreaking after his death, with everything his children had to through with some legal issues that they had to deal with, with Conway’s wife at the time.

I knew him. He lived in Oklahoma City, and I hung around with his niece at the Kip's Big Boy restaurant on the south side. He would come in and stop at our booth to say "hello." He insisted us kids call him "Uncle Connie." A nice guy and gracious gentleman! He kept his twin Aero Commander at Downtown Airpark where I flew from. I'll always remember the Titty Bird emblem on the tail. Often took my high school sweetheart to the Twitty Burger Restaurant in our neighborhood, first of his chain of restaurants. Conway Twitty, Wanda Jackson and our respective families were all "southside trash!" LOL!

My father was found to have this health issues in his early 70's. Luckily the doctors caught this before a rupture and successfully repaired the artery. It did leave a large scar basically from his lower breast bone to below his belly button. I just remember I had just taken my dad for a doctor's visit and we had just gotten home when the phone rang. His doctor told me to take him straight to the hospital that he had called ahead and they would be waiting for him. I believe surgery was done the next day. My father lived to be into his mid-80s before passing. Not sure why I just mentioned all that I'm guessing it was because my dad loved Conway Twitty. Anyway another great job there sir really enjoyed the video.

This condition is extremely common and many older people live with it and never even realize it, since it never actually ruptures. You’d also be surprised at how many celebrities have died from this condition…actor John Ritter and musician Peter Steele of Type O Negative being a couple that I can recall off the top of my head. My own grandmother actually had to have surgery to repair one of these, which is a fairy complex surgery…especially back when she had it in the late ‘90s.

I also have an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. They are known as a silent killer because they usually don’t show symptoms until it is almost to late. Mine was spotted by my urologist using a CT Scan to figure out why I was having so many urinary infections. It was repaired in 2011 and if you look at the diagram of the Aorta, it was several inches below the heart. The stent was an upside down (Y) with the single part went up to the heart an the other two going down each vein in the legs as in the diagram. Some famous people who died from a Triple A were George C Scott, Michael Rennie from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and one of the smartest scientist known to mankind, Albert Einstein.

One symptom that might be noticed is if it only begins to leak like Conway’s did. The blood will slowly begin to make your stomach bloat outwards as the blood fills the abdominal cavity. There is a chance a rupture can be repaired if you’re in the hospital when it happens.

Man, I remember the women, and I mean plural. I'm 42 now and I was raised by a good ol honky Tonk loving grandmother that made NO attempt at hiding her overly affectionate love of this man. I would a lot of times wake to hearing playing on the stereo, which my grandmother said was made for his voice, and usually he was playing when I returned home from school. I remember disliking him simply because of how much she loved him, but what does a adolescent boy know about what makes people tick. I was eventually swayed in my early 30s while paying a debt to the state and got a hold of a C.D. for my walkman. I fell in love with this dude's voice. I don't know if I could pick a favorite band, song, etc, but when I heard Conway Twitty sing "Play, Guitar, Play", I was hooked. It became a nearly every single day song for the last 12 years. I never met the man, he died when I was only 11 and I remember my Grandmother's heartbreak at finding out. I was standing an arms length away from her when the t.v. spouted off that Conway had passed and the silence that came over that room and turning to look at her and the look she had haunts, and I mean Haunt's my memory. I'll never forget it. Broke her heart, but she has long passed herself and all I can say is that I hope they met wherever they are and he, being the Gentleman he was, asked her to dance.

I got to see him at the Stanley theatre in Utica n y in 1986 or 87. Earl Thomas Conley opened for him. Then the whole place went dark and the light shines to the right side and "hello darling walks out in a blue suite. Great show. I had fourth row tickets and they only were 20.00.

One of the many memorable classic country (for me, early-mid 70s to mid-late 90s, and some early 00s) artists I grew up with thanks to my parents, who always had the radios in our vehicles tuned to WCMS FM 100, our #1 local country music station in our area (Hampton Roads, Va.) for years…love Lay You Down to this day. God bless you, Conway…rest easy, sweet angel.

I've been a huge Conway fan since my teens. Got to know his music because my grandparents always had the radio dialed into country music. Anyways, small fact, doesn't really matter, but Conway quit smoking approx. a decade before his death...and why the burial was so speedy, I'm not sure, what I do know is, Dee Henry(his second wife) and his kids did not get along. Settling the estate got real ugly. So ugly in fact, all of Conway's belongings, even love letters to his first wife, were put up for auction. I myself was lucky enough to purchase, "The Very Best of Conway Twitty", RIAA Platinum Record Award that Conway received.

Aortic dissection has over a ninety percent chance of killing you and always fatal except in a very small percent! My husband is a very rare exception! He lived but it wasn’t easy. He was on life support six months and every single day a doctor was threatening me with a DNR! I had to constantly tell doctors who were quoting statistics to me that when I get back he better be alive or they could explain it to a team of lawyers! Then on a Friday they said he may never talk well but we believe with years of therapy he can. I came back on Monday and my husband said in flawless English for first time in six months they never come check on me! Several doctors were shocked silent, before they could find their speech I said oh this is going to be fun! I’m tired! I’m going home to help my baby graduate and I’m no longer needed. Believe me Sergeant can more than speak for himself and if I was you all I would listen close the first time because he doesn’t like repeating himself! From there he got off life support quickly and all were in agreement especially the doctors that God healed him.

I told my men in my squad about it. Lot of us older guy's felt bad, as for the younger ones didn't know who he was. Still enjoy he music.

That’s pretty much what my dad died from. He was 70 and drank and smoke most of his life. The look that was frozen on his face after death look like he was in quite a bit of pain. I’ll never forget that look.

I was there in town on vacation when he died. We were in the highway and couldn’t figure out why the traffic was gridlocked. Then someone said Conway twitty just had a medical emergency (later on someone told us he didn’t make it )&We saw TwittyCity in Nashville and all remembered when he died. I was 6 or 7 when he died and remember it like it was yesterday. Ambulances 🚑 fire trucks etc

I have lost two brothers and a niece to this horrible disease and it nearly cost a nephew and yours truly our lives. If you smoke you are a sitting duck. I had massive surgery and am forever thankful that I live in the grater Chicago area and had access to some of the best medical care available. It's been 10 years and so far, so good. When it starts to leak, you will pray for death, the pain is that bad. Our's is obviously a family affliction. IF YOU SMOKE, STOP DAMMIT!

My dad had a AAA rupture, for some reason, he regained consciousness and survived not one ambulance trip but two, the last being over an hour drive because life flight was grounded due to snow. He did lose a lung but we still have our dad by miraculous intervention I'm sure. IF you have family history INSIST on being screened

Well I think this was an awesome thorough video, thank you for the information I didn't know....That being said, he was of a generation that was sick of the paparazzi!!.... Andy Griffith was buried within four hours of his death. Those who loved himhonored him and honored his wishes and I think that's very cool indeed. Clearly Conways family and beloved friends did the same.❤ 🙏
