Jimmy Dean Dies At 81 Years Old

Country music singer and sausage company founder Jimmy Dean died at 81 years old on Sunday. He passed away in his Virginia home. Known for his big hit in 1961, 'Big Bad John' Dean also starred on his own TV show called "The Jimmy Dean Show' which aired from 1963 to 1966. Vowing not to be a celebrity that wastes his money and dies with nothing, Dean started his own business, 'Jimmy Dean Sausage Company'. He sold his meat company to Sara Lee Corp. in 1984. Since then built his dream home and lived in peace.
