Ben Jones, who played Cooter Davenport on the classic TV series “The Dukes of Hazzard” and also served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, died on Sunday, according to a social media post from his wife. He was 84. 

“I lost the love of my life today. Ben passed from a massive heart attack,” Alma Viator wrote on Facebook Sunday, accompanied by a picture of the actor with his dog.

“He was home resting in his favorite chair waiting for the Braves to come on and whoop the Yankees. Ben had the most amazing rich full life. He loved and was loved by so many. He will be missed. I loved him so so much,” she concluded.
