The fact we know so little about Carl is a testament about how real their love was.

Dolly said he was a quiet man who was a homebody. He must've been someone special for her to spend all of her adult life with him. May he have a peaceful journey home. ❤

This is a true love story. Sixty years, drama free, and Mr. Dean loved her without craving the spotlight. A true gentleman. Rest in Paradise. 💐🤍🕊

They were couple goals. Soulmates. My heart hurts for her.

That's What A REAL Marriage Looks Like, No Drama, No Circus, She Kept Everything Private.
That's how you do it, Your Husband is Yours, And you Did a good Job Not Parading him Around the World, What both of Them have Was SACRED.
Well Done Carl Dean, Your Job on Earth is Done.

As soon as I saw Dolly and Breaking News, I stopped breathing! I love me some her, and I just couldn't take the thought of her transitioning out of here right now.

My sincerest condolences to her and their families 😢💔🙏🏾

I love that she was able to keep him private all these years. ❤😢 Not a scandal, not a bad word, no rumors, no bad behaviors. That was a good man Savannah. Thank you Dean for loving on Mrs. Dolly Parton Dean
