Marvin “Jim Tom” Hedrick, who for five seasons starred on Discovery’s distillery-themed reality show Moonshiners, died Wednesday of kidney cancer, TMZ reports. He was 82.
The series, which launched in 2012, follows the lives of individuals who produce illegal moonshine in the Appalachian mountains. Hedrick joined the cast in Season 2 and remained with the show for five years, through Season 6.
“Jim Tom’s well-earned reputation as one of the most skilled moonshiners in the South earned him a role on the hit television program Moonshiners, where his colorful personality endeared [him] to… millions,” Sugarlands Distilling Co said in a statement on Instagram. “Jim Tom touched the lives of countless individuals and was especially eager to pass along his lifetime of moonshining knowledge to a new generation of distillers, ensuring the craft would endure.”
