That smile will forever be remembered. Hee Haw star Roy Clark has died at the age of 85 in Oklahoma after suffering complications from pneumonia, according to a rep.

Here is a collection of some of our favorite images of Roy from over the years including special moments with Brad Paisley, Luke Bryan, Alabama, and of course some photos from the set of Hee Haw. RIP to a true country legend!
