Deeply devoted and unexpectedly tender — Johnny Cash found greatest comfort in family and gospel music.
Today we're featuring Johnny Cash, who passed away on this day, September 12, 2003.
His funeral was a private service held at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee, attended by close family and friends alongside a number of fellow musicians who came to pay their respects. He was laid to rest at Hendersonville Memory Gardens beside his wife, June Carter Cash, who had passed away just four months earlier — the two are remembered as inseparable in life and now in death.
✨His legacy reminds us that even our toughest icons are often defined, in the end, by who they loved and who loved them back.
