Overview
- David Allan Coe’s death was confirmed by his representative Wednesday at age 86, with no cause or funeral plans disclosed.
- His daughter Tanya Montana Coe said she was not told of his death or given a chance to see him, and she asked the public Thursday for information on any services.
- Tanya added in a comment that she has not heard from her stepmother, Kimberly Hastings Coe, since his passing.
- His son Tyler Mahan Coe posted a video calling his father a difficult person to be close to while saying he still cared.
- Longstanding rifts frame the dispute, as Tyler told GQ in 2021 they stopped speaking in 2013 after he was fired and Tanya wrote in 2025 that she had been disowned.
