The Parton family is once again mourning the loss of a loved one, as Dolly Parton’s brother David Parton passed away on November 15 at the age of 82. David’s passing has left a void in the family, and his loved ones are coming together to celebrate his life and legacy.
According to David’s sister Stella, he was a kind, devoted, and compassionate man who was lovingly referred to as “sweet David” by those who knew him. David served in the U.S. Marine Corps and went on to have a successful career as a bridge-building superintendent for Simpson Construction.
David’s family, including his wife Kay, daughters Donna and Dena, and grandchildren, will deeply miss him. His siblings, including Dolly and Stella, are also grieving the loss of their beloved brother.
The Parton family has faced several losses in recent years, including the passing of David’s brothers Larry, Floyd, and Randy. Despite their grief, the family is finding comfort in their faith and the memories they shared with their loved ones.
Dolly has spoken publicly about the passing of her brothers, including Randy, who lost his battle with cancer in 2021. She remembered Randy as a talented singer, songwriter, and entertainer who was a key part of her band for many years.
The Parton family’s love and support for one another are a testament to their strong bond and commitment to their faith. As they mourn the loss of David, they are also celebrating his life and legacy, and the impact he had on those around him.
David’s funeral service will be held on November 19 at Leadvale Baptist Church in White Pine, Tennessee. The family has asked that donations be made to Smoky Mountain Home Health & Hospice in his memory.
The Parton family’s grief is a reminder that life is precious, and every moment we have with our loved ones is a gift. As they navigate this difficult time, they are finding comfort in their faith, their love for one another, and the memories they shared with David.
