They are as follows:<\/p>\n
Dustin Coe:\u00a0<\/strong>Listed as Coe’s son in the document, though a second next of kin list filed on June 26 omits him. No public information is readily available about Dustin, and he’s not mentioned in Tanya’s Facebook post. His listed residence address is the same as Coe’s wife, Kimberly.<\/p>\n Carla Dawn Coe:\u00a0<\/strong>David Allan Coe’s oldest biological child is listed in the document under her legal name, Carla Dawn Weightman. She was born from Coe’s marriage to his first wife, Betty. In a July Facebook post<\/a>, Carla said that she loved her dad, but they had very limited contact while she was growing up, and the last time she saw him was in 2013.<\/p>\n Carla is also a singer, and performed at Coe’s theater in 1989.<\/p>\n Shelli Coe Macklie:<\/strong> Born from David Allan Coe’s\u00a0marriage to his second wife, Debbie. Her Facebook profile<\/a> lists her as a retired singer-songwriter based in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n Tyler Mahan Coe: <\/strong>Perhaps the best known of the Coe children, Tyler Mahan was born from Coe’s fourth marriage, to Jody. He is the host of the “Cocaine & Rhinestones” podcast and a well-known presence in Nashville. Tyler is also among the Coe kids who spoke out most publicly<\/a> after Coe’s death, describing his dad as “a difficult person to be close with, a difficult person to care about for several reasons … but I did always care about him.”<\/p>\n Tanya Montana Coe: <\/strong>Another child born from Coe’s marriage to Jody, she is a singer-songwriter and is vocal on social media about her dad’s complicated legacy. After the country legend died, she stated that she was not given the opportunity to say goodbye, describing the experience as “a hell I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.”<\/p>\n Shyanne Coe Riddle:\u00a0<\/strong>Coe and Jody’s third child together. Not much information is known about her, and she seems to live a relatively private life.<\/p>\n Carson Gray:\u00a0<\/strong>Coe and Jody’s fourth child together. Carson also lives outside the spotlight.<\/p>\n Josh Pruitt: <\/strong>Pruitt\u00a0was listed as the final name on the court documents filed June 9, but omitted from the second list filed June 26. Tanya describes Josh as “our recently discovered brother sharing the same father.” Josh’s Facebook page<\/a> also describes him as the “Unknown Coe Son.” It does not seem that he was given the opportunity to have any relationship with his father growing up.<\/p>\n Taste of Country has viewed David Allan Coe’s publicly-available last will and testament<\/a>, which he signed on Nov. 25, 2025.\u00a0It reads, “I have intentionally not provided for my children or their heirs in this Last Will & Testament, and their omission is not the result of accident or oversight.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Per a social media statement from Tanya, Coe left “everything” to his wife, Kimberly.<\/p>\n It’s unclear exactly why Coe elected not to include his children in his will. Several of his kids have described having relationships with their dad that were sometimes loving, sometimes tumultuous, and often nonexistent. Some have also implied, to varying degrees, that Coe’s wife, Kimberly, could have stood between the singer and his family relationships.<\/p>\n Taste of Country has reached out to Kimberly Hastings Coe, who was married to Coe for 16 years at the time of his death; she has not responded at the time of publishing.<\/p>\n The difference between a true country music feud and one country singer being a punk is the response. Each of these active feuds has involved a significant back and forth between two country artists or more. <\/p>\n A few singers are involved in multiple feuds while others involve unexpected or unknown singers. We’ll update this list as the pairs make peace or if another fight emerges. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Jason](\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/site\/204\/files\/2026\/07\/attachment-tylermahancoe.jpg?w=980&q=75\")
