David Allan Coe died in 2026, but his legacy will live on through his family. The late 86-year-old “Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile” artist was the father of several children from different relationships. While his kids haven’t publicly commented on their dad’s death at the time of publication, most of them have maintained private lifestyles away from the public eye.
Get to know David’s children here as they carry out their late father’s legacy.
David is survived by five children in total. He shares four children, Tyler, Tanya, Shyanne and Carla, with ex-wife Jody Lynn Coe. He also has a daughter named Shelli, but her biological mother’s information hasn’t been made public.
In 2010, David married his wife, Kimberly Hastings, who became a stepmom to his kids.
Tyler Mahan became a writer and the host of his podcast, “Cocaine & Rhinestones: The History of Country Music.” So, he still has a taste of country music in him! “Cocaine & Rhinestones” became a hit after Tyler introduced the podcast in 2017.
Previously, Tyler was the rhythm guitarist for his dad’s band when he was still a teen.
Like her dad, Shellie got into the music scene by becoming a backup singer for DAC and performing in nightclubs and on the radio. Upon taking a break from music to focus on her family, Shellie returned to the industry in 2006.
