As previously reported, Dean’s cause of death was not immediately revealed. According to The U.S. Sun, Dean had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2019.
Since the news has come out, many fans have shared their love and support for the country music star. Parton took to Instagram to thank these fans in a special post. Notably, she also included a nod to one of her famous songs.
Dolly Parton Had A ‘Love Note’ To Share With Fans
“This is a love note to family, friends, and fans. Thank you for all the messages, cards, and flowers that you’ve sent to pay your respects for the loss of my beloved husband Carl.”
“I can’t reach out personally to each of you but just know it has meant the world to me. He is in God’s arms now and I am okay with that. I will always love you, Dolly.”
Notably, the final line is in reference to Dolly Parton’s famous song, “I Will Always Love You.” The original song came out in 1974 and originally focused on her parting ways with her business partner and mentor Porter Wagoner to pursue a solo career. Over the years, however, the song has often been used to represent romantic love.
With Parton’s most recent post, many fans also similarly took to the comments to share their support with the star during this time. A few also took note of her famous songs. Some comments included:
“We love you so much! He is in Gods arms! That’s so true.”
“Dolly, you and Carl have earned every bit of love you are receiving from all of us. The kindness, artistry, and community service you both have provided over the years has meant so much more than you can ever know.”
“You are in my prayers, Dolly. You always are. But now you REALLY are. I’m thinking about you and I have you in my heart. I hope our love lifts you up somehow.”
“You have given us so much love over the years and I hope you feel that back 1 million fold. Holding you and your family in our hearts.”
