Dolly Parton left her fans in shock and devastated after sharing that her partner of nearly six decades has passed away.
Carl Dean died at the age of 82. He was said to be a more relaxed individual who lived his life very differently than his bubbly wife. Sources shared how he was hardly known to many and very rarely witnessed with the singer in public.
Dean was last seen out in the public eye in images snapped just a few years back. The images were from 2019, where he would be witnessed arriving to the post office in Tennessee.
Before that, Dean wasn’t knowingly photographed in public for nearly four decades. However, he and Dolly both made under the radar trips together.
As far as his outing in 2019 is concerned, Dean was 77 at the time and was accompanied by an assistant who drove him to the post office.
Dolly shared the heartbreaking news that comes just a few weeks shy of her wedding anniversary. She mentioned to fans that she was heartbroken and didn’t know how to put the matter in words. Fans were quick to roll out tributes in his honor.
