My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Johnny Cash was one of those men who seemed bigger than life itself. His legacy seems more myth more than reality, but it was all real and we were blessed to experience this man’s brilliance. We here in Tennessee have a special place in our hearts for the Man in Black; for that reason, you can find Johnny Cash’s Gravestone in Hendersonville.
To find Johnny’s final resting place, you must travel just north of Nashville to Hendersonville. The Hendersonville Memorial Gardens is a beautiful cemetery that does a fantastic job honoring the deceased.
There are two gravestones found within the gardens of Johnny Cash and June Carter. You are permitted to walk the grounds to pay your respects, and if you need help the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Johnny Cash passed away in 2003 and although he is missed, his body of work was left behind for everyone to enjoy. He worked tirelessly and brought his musical talents to bless anyone who has had the privilege of hearing his songs.
To know Johnny was to know how much he loved his wife June. Together their love was beautiful and when she passed away before him he was rightfully devastated. It was only a few months after her passing that he too left this world to join her in the afterlife.
It is poetically beautiful to see these two gravestones next to each other -- a good reminder to hold the ones you love close because the story of love is one of the greatest stories ever told.
Johnny Cash left behind a wonderful legacy and his work forever changed the world. His music touched thousands of people and continues to inspire people's hearts to this day.
If you want to learn more about the famous Man in Black, head south to Nashville and visit the Johnny Cash Museum. This small museum holds the biggest collection of Cash memorabilia and artifacts in the world. If you are a fan, it is well worth the visit.
Johnny Cash’s legacy is alive and well here in Tennessee; his story a tale of heartbreak, love, triumph, and faith. For more information about where to find his resting place, please visit the Hendersonville Memorial Garden website.
