Carl Dean, the longtime husband of country music icon Dolly Parton, died on Monday at the age of 82.
Dean, who was famously private throughout his nearly 60-year marriage to Parton, died in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a statement she posted on social media. "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," the statement read.
