Several beloved members of the country music community have died in 2021. These songwriters, artists and industry players are all remembered as key in shaping country music into what it is today.
One of the year s biggest deaths happened on June 16, when Steel Woods founder Jason Rowdy Cope died in his sleep at the age of 42; his sudden passing was later linked to his Type II diabetes, diagnosed in late 2018. Just over four months later, on May 29, singer B.J. Thomas best known for a string of pop and country hits in the 1960s and 70s, including Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head died after battling Stage IV lung cancer.

Don Kessinger batted .400 for his Ole Miss career, but he was even better known for his fielding ability. (Ole Miss athletics)
Greatest athlete in Ole Miss history? My guess in 99% of Rebels would blurt “Archie Manning” before the question is completed.
Hard to argue: Manning was an All American quarterback and also an outstanding shortstop in baseball. And then there’s Jake Gibbs, also an All American quarterback so gifted in baseball the New York Yankees paid him $100,000 to sign to play baseball instead of football. That was back when Mickey Mantle was the highest paid player in baseball at a salary of 100 grand.
