Dennis Leatherby, Tyson Foods Inc.'s longtime CFO who retired in April, died Monday, says a report at Arkansas Business. He was 58.
Leatherby announced his retirement last year and left the company four months ago after handing over CFO duties to Stewart Glendinning.
Leatherby had said that, with Tyson Foods entering its next phase of growth, it was a good time for him to "pursue the next chapter" in his life.
"Dennis was a man of integrity and we're deeply saddened by his sudden passing," Tyson Foods Chairman John Tyson said in a statement. "He was a well-respected leader and colleague who was committed to helping our company succeed."
