Tammy Slaton Buries Husband, Breaks All the Way Down at Funeral on August 2, 2023 at 2:00 pm The Hollywood Gossip
Tammy Slaton bid her final farewell to Caleb Willingham this past Sunday.
As you very likely know by now, the 1000-Lb Sisters star was faced with true and shocking heartbreak just about a month ago when her husband passed away at the age of 40.
Willingham was a native of Indiana, but Tammy hosted his funeral on July 29 just a few minutes away from her home in Kentucky.
If you head over to The Sun, you can view photos of Tammy sitting alongside her sibling, Amy, at the sad gathering, tissues in hand, tears streaming down her face.

As you might expect, and as you can see via the screen capture above, this wasn’t the first time Slaton grew extremely emotional in the wake of Caleb’s death.
Filming herself on TikTok a few weeks ago, Slaton cried and told followers of where things stood between her and her spouse at the time of his passing:
“Yeah, we were having problems, but I loved that man, and I still do,” Tammy said through tears in this footage.
“I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for… I’m sorry. Thank you, everybody, for your comments. I appreciate it, I really do.”

Tammy and Caleb got married in November 2022 outside of the Ohio rehab facility in which they had met months earlier.
Sadly, things took a turn for the worse fairly quickly because Slaton left the facility and was very dedicated to losing weight and remaining healthy.
Willingham, however?
“He [had] gained 30 pounds and [hadn’t] been working his program,” an insider told this The Sun in May, adding of how Slaton reacted:
“She would have to take care of him once he’s out of rehab, and that is her taking on the care of a whole other person when she can barely take care of herself, so the relationship [was] pointless.”

Shortly after news of Caleb’s loss went viral, Tammy also said the following to People Magazine:
“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.”
