Dolly Parton shares heartbreaking statement after husband Carl Dean dies aged 82
After nearly 60 years together, the former road-paving business owner passed away

Businessman Carl Dean, and husband of almost 60 years to veteran country singer Dolly Parton, has passed away.

The 82-year-old passed away in his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, yesterday (March 3) – just nine years after renewing his wedding vows with the ‘9 to 5’ hitmaker.

The entrepreneur’s 79-year-old wife Parton has issued the following statement: “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

While their family have also asked for ‘privacy during this difficult time’.

Dean is survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie, and will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family.

During a chat on the Dumb Blonde podcast last year, the then 78-year-old musician recalled: “He said, ‘Look, now I want you to do everything you want to do, and I wish you the best, but don’t ever ask me to go to another one of these damn things because I ain’t going,’ and he never did.”

Parton wasn’t surprised by her newlywed husband’s decision at the time, because he was never interested in having the spotlight on him.

“He loves music, but he’s not the least bit interested in being in it,” she said. “And he told me that right up front.”

Their marriage had stood the test of time and the couple even renewed their vows in 2016 at their Nashville home.

It sounds like Parton and Dean were complete opposites and not just because of their feelings about fame. “He’s quiet and I’m loud, and we’re funny… we have a lot of fun,” she added.

“Anytime [there is] too much tension going on, either one of us can like, find a joke about it to really break the tension, where we don’t let it go so far,” she explained.

“We never fought back and forth.”

The pair met back in 1964 outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville, Tennessee. Parton was 18 and Dean was 21. Sparks flew as Dean drove past in his pickup truck when he saw Parton outside and ‘hollered’ at her, she told The New York Times in 1976.

During Parton’s historic rise to fame, her husband supported her behind the scenes while maintaining a road-paving business.

They still managed to keep their spark burning decades later, as Parton revealed in 2022 that she still dresses up for her man at home.

“Every day, I put on some makeup and fix my hair because I think, ‘Well, the whole world, I’m out here and everybody else sees me all dressed up, and I’m not going to just kind of go home and just flop on him,’” she told E! News.

Emergency services are currently on the scene battling the blaze, which appears to have originated in the West Wing around 11:45 AM In a surreal and chaotic scene that has gripped the nation, the White House was consumed by a massive fire earlier today, with thick black smoke billowing into the skies above Washington, D.C. Emergency crews are battling the four-alarm blaze, which reportedly began in the West Wing shortly before 11:45 a.m. Eyewitnesses say the fire spread rapidly, prompting immediate evacuation of White House staff and security personnel. Former President Donald Trump — who recently returned to the White House after winning a second non-consecutive term — was reportedly rushed from the premises alongside First Lady Melania Trump. Early unconfirmed reports suggest the couple may have fled the grounds via an underground emergency exit and were last seen boarding a blacked-out SUV headed toward Joint Base Andrews. Their current whereabouts remain undisclosed, fueling speculation across news and social media platforms. Secret Service has declined to comment on the nature of the evacuation, citing “ongoing national security concerns.” Sources close to the administration say the fire may have been caused by an electrical surge in the West Wing’s communications hub, though foul play has not been ruled out. Footage from the scene shows flames pouring from windows of the Oval Office, with parts of the roof visibly collapsing under the heat. Firefighters have been working for over two hours to contain the blaze, with reinforcements brought in from across the city. In a dramatic twist, Vice President J.D. Vance was reportedly conducting meetings on Capitol Hill at the time and is now coordinating with Homeland Security and FEMA from an undisclosed location. As panic spread among tourists and onlookers gathered outside the White House gates, police established a security perimeter around the National Mall, and air traffic was briefly halted above D.C. White House Press Secretary Amanda Blake said a full investigation is underway and promised transparency. The President and First Lady are safe. That is our top priority. We are monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as possible.” This marks one of the most shocking incidents in recent presidential history, raising serious questions about security, continuity of government, and the future of the Trump administration. Eyewitnesses say the fire spread rapidly, prompting immediate evacuation of White House staff and security personnel. Former President Donald Trump — who recently returned to the White House after winning a second non-consecutive term — was reportedly rushed from the premises alongside First Lady Melania Trump.
