"I miss you soooo much Abby Nicole... you were ready to be the One Me we talked about," one of Nicole's bandmates, Chad Barnhill wrote in a moving Facebook post on Sunday.

"I drove home today and wanted you in my passenger seat ... You weren't there, but I still felt you."

One fan also paid tribute on Twitter, calling Uecker a "beautiful soul."

"A beautiful angel is now above us," another wrote.

Uecker was pronounced dead at Thayer County Health Services in Hebron, NTV reported. Details about her death are still unknown at this time, though the situation is still under investigation.
