Jennings Osborne creator of 'Disney's Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights' Dies at 67

Jennings Osborne whose Christmas light displays drew international attention at both Disney World and his home, died on Wednesday at the age of 67. Osborne was battling complications following heart surgery.

According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Family spokesperson David Bazzel said Osborne passed at 3:30 p.m. surrounded by family and friends.

The Fort Smith native with the larger than life personality often called himself “the luckiest guy in the world” for all that he was able to do with his wealth, which he made in the medical testing business.


The Osborne family released a statement on Jennings Osborne’s passing.

“My father was an amazing man who all my life showed what a big heart he had for everyone, young and old and regardless of background or wealth,” Osborne’s daughter, Breezy, said in a statement. “Sadly, my father’s big heart finally gave out. But knowing my “Dadoo”, there will be fireworks at the gates of Heaven. We want to thank everyone from Arkansas and across the country for all their well wishes and prayers. It meant so much to my dad, me and my mom.”
