The Texas native often sings about his homeland, with one song in particular reaching heights unknown.
The original version of the song was co-written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser, and recorded by Stafford.
American astronaut Rick Husband reportedly loved the song, perhaps finding comfort in the lyrics as an Amarillo native.
Husband was one of the seven astronauts on board at the time, with all crew members dying.
"Rick was so proud of being from Amarillo that in the mornings they let the astronauts pick their wake up music," said Husband's friend, Ellen Robertson Green, per News Channel 10.
Former Amarillo mayor, Trent Sisemore, added: "Because he had Amarillo roots. He had Amarillo values."
After his passing, the Amarillo airport was renamed as the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport.
"It gives people a chance to pause and to find out who he was if they don't know who he was," said Green.
Sisemore added: "There was a great man from Amarillo who achieved the ultimate success in his field, and died doing that. And that airport is a reminder of that success and that intuitiveness and that hard work that he gave to our nation and our world."
