Introduction<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

There are fathers who teach their sons how to work hard, and then there are fathers who quietly show them\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0it matters. For George Strait, his father,\u00a0John Byron Strait<\/strong>, was both.<\/p>\n

John wasn\u2019t a performer or a man of fame \u2014 he was a Texas rancher, a man of few words and steady hands. When George\u2019s mother left the family, John raised George and his brother on his own. The lessons he gave weren\u2019t written in books or spoken from pulpits; they were lived out every morning before sunrise \u2014 feeding cattle, fixing fences, and keeping promises even when no one was watching.<\/p>\n
