Kevin Sharp

Country singer Kevin Sharp, best known for his hit "Nobody Knows," has died "due to ongoing complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues."He was 43.
 Sharp was diagnosed with cancer as a teenager. He was treated, and the disease did not reoccur, but he had problems later in life because of the radiation and chemotherapy he underwent,
Sharp grew up wanting to be a singer. According to a 1998 story from Music City News, Sharp -- who grew up in a large family that included a number of foster children -- was a high school athlete and participated in a Sacramento, California, light-opera company.
In the mid-'90s, after working at an amusement park to make ends meet, Sharp landed a record deal and went to No. 1 on the country charts with "Nobody Knows." He followed that hit with a handful of others, including "She's Sure Taking It Well" and "If You Love Somebody."
 In later years, he travelled the country as a motivational speaker,and wrote a book called "Tragedy's Gift."
 Sharp's website asked people who want to make a donation in his memory to give to their local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
