According to Voices of the South, on Facebook:
Jerre Dye's brother, John Dye, passed away Monday, January 10, 2011. Jerre and his family are so thankful for all of the prayers and thoughtful words expressed during this sad time. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to organizations that feed the hungry or fund pediatric AIDS research-two causes that John cared about-or the charity of your choice.
Information on John's memorial service may be found at the E. E. Pickle Funeral Home site. There is also a guestbook available there.

o-------------oO0------ General Information and Links from 1999-2002 News Items ------0Oo------------o
I would like to continue to get the word out there that if you receive the e-mail forward that says TBAA can't be aired because of a petition to the FCC from Madeline Murray O'Hair (O'Hare) or her organization, this is a HOAX. The petition number generally listed is from 1975, it was not about the content of broadcasts, and it was defeated. You can check out the info on the FCC's website about the hoax for more information.
Anyone who wants to see the film "Water with Food Coloring" can find it at Spike TV. John participated in the Stars Over Mississippi charity event in both 1998 and 2000. He also participated in the "Evening Under the Stars" event for the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in 2000. John hosted the 2000 Heartland Film Festival awards in Indianapolis.
Check out some fan reviews of the premiere for "Journey to a Hate Free Millenium."
Back in April 1999, John starred in a stage production of "Spellbound" and "It Happened One Night" for the Sundance Theater Spring Benefit. His co-stars were Sally Field, Tim Daly and Christopher Lloyd, and they played to a sold out house in Salt Lake City. See one fan's reaction.
