Hey Wolf Country, we’ve got some sad news to share today. Dolly Parton’s brother, Coy “Denver” Parton, has passed away at the age of 82. While Denver spent most of his life staying out of the spotlight, he was clearly loved and cherished by his famous sister and their tight-knit family.

Dolly’s always been open about how much her family means to her, and this is another tough loss for the Parton clan. Denver may not have been a household name like his legendary sister, but he was part of the fabric that helped shape one of country music’s greatest icons. Our hearts go out to Dolly and the entire Parton family during this difficult time. Keep it locked on 94.3 The Wolf for more updates!
