Death is perhaps one of the most unfortunate and unforgiving parts of life. Timmy Slaton, who stars in the reality television show 1000 lb sisters, got married in November last year.
Now she has revealed that her husband of less than a year, Caleb Willingham, has passed away. Keep reading to learn more about this tragic story.
On Saturday, Tammy Slaton confirmed the passing of her husband, Caleb Willingham. He was 40 years old at the time of his death. The reality television star took to social media to share the news of her husband’s passing.
She posted a series of pictures of herself hugging Caleb Willingham. She captioned the post, “Rip sweet angel you will forever be missed and loved so much thank you Caleb for showing me real love and happiness ❤️❤️.”
People were shocked at the news, unable to believe that Caleb had passed away. A lot of fans offered Tammy condolences as she grappled with this monumental loss.
After she posted her tribute to her late husband, she began sharing posts fans were making to condole her for her loss.
Slaton met Willingham in a weight loss center in Ohio. The couple was engaged just a few weeks after their first meeting, and their decision to tie the knot so quickly had the family questioning the motives for a ‘shotgun’ wedding and whether it could have been due to a possible pregnancy.
The family’s meeting with Willingham was recorded for the show. Slaton’s sister grilled the groom over his intentions. He later said to the camera in a confessional, “When you love somebody, you don’t let anything get in the way.”
On the day of her wedding, Slaton could be seen having a case of cold feet, which she eventually gets over. She says in a confessional, “A year ago I didn’t even think I was gonna be alive,” she said in a confessional. “And now I’m getting married.”
The moment Willingham saw his bride walking down the aisle toward him, he teared up and recalled the moment as “magical.”
In a statement to the media, Slaton shared the devastating news of her husband’s passing. She said, “I am devastated to share the news of my husband’s passing. He was my best friend and I loved him dearly… When I met Caleb he became my guardian angel and now he really is watching over me. Our families appreciate everyone’s sympathy and ask that you respect our privacy at this time.”
Willingham’s cause of death has not yet been specified. A statement from the TLC network said, “We are deeply saddened to learn of Caleb Willingham’s passing. Our condolences go out to Tammy, his family and friends at this difficult time.”
