Dolly Parton is facing another family tragedy following the passing of her brother, Coy ‘Denver’ Parton, at 82 years old. This sad event occurred just a month after the loss of her husband, Carl Dean. Coy, a crane operator from Sevierville, Tennessee, passed away, with no cause of death specified in his obituary from Atchly Funeral Home.

Coy’s demise adds to the sorrow of Dolly losing five brothers in total, including Larry, David, Randy, and Floyd. Dolly’s late husband, Carl, also 82 at the time of his passing in March the previous year, was remembered in a heartfelt tribute shared by Dolly on social media.

In her Instagram post, Dolly expressed her love for Carl and announced his peaceful departure in Nashville. She requested privacy for the family during this challenging period. The public outpouring of support and condolences that followed was acknowledged by Dolly, who thanked everyone for their sympathy.

Although Dolly did not disclose the cause of Carl’s death, it was known that he had been battling Alzheimer’s disease since 2019. The couple’s love story began on the day Dolly moved to Nashville when they met outside a laundromat, leading to a lifelong bond. Celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 2016, Carl fondly shared his instant certainty that Dolly was the one for him.

Dolly recounted their wedding day at a Baptist church, emphasizing the importance of the ceremony to make their union truly special. Despite the recent losses she has faced, Dolly remains grateful for the support and understanding from her fans and the public.
