Fess Parker -- who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone -- has died of natural causes ... a rep confirms with TMZ.
Parker -- who also starred in "Old Yeller" -- owned the DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara and the Wine Country Inn & Spa in Los Olivos, CA.
Parker married Marcella Rinehart in 1960. They had two kids.
He was 85.
Fess Parker was a wonderful role model for us baby boomers. My brother and I grew up playing Davy Crockett with the clothes, coonskin cap, lunch boxes, etc. Today's celebrities could learn a lot from the great old actors. They were ladies and gentlemen, honest, and true role models. God Bless Fess Parker, Long Live Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.....
hello,
hey thats cool tom....

RIP Daniel Boone.. Loved that show as a kid.
He was a great actor and good person. First Peter Graves and now Fess Parker. All of the good ones are passing on and we are stuck with idiots like the fool who posted on #3.
God bless Fess. He was a good actor, a good person and a real gentleman. He was also a very smart and savvy businessman, and used his acting money to buy real estate, he owns a good part of the Santa Barbara area! His shows always reflected morals and values that are sadly lacking in today's permissive society.
