Caleb Willingham’s demise shocked the entire reality TV realm. He had starred in 1000 Lb Sisters only for a few episodes as Tammy Slaton’s beau and later on her husband. While his wife thrived, overcame all the weight-related obstacles, and left rehab, he couldn’t follow through. Caleb’s struggles to get his life back on track were evident in the latest season of the show.
As the finale premiered for Tammy’s show, all her family members gathered for Caleb’s funeral. It was truly a devastating moment for the star as she had just tied the knot with him six months ago. But something that upset the fans further was when they saw the funeral episode and realised none of Caleb’s family showed up!
1000 Lb Sisters: Tammy Arranged Caleb’s Memorial & Funeral! His Family Refused To Show Up
Tammy and Caleb’s love story began when she was in Ohio’s rehab to get her life back on track. While battling food addiction, she ended up giving her heart away to another patient. After half a year of dating, they finally decided to seal the deal with an engagement and, later, a wedding. But life had other plans. While Tammy ended up leaving rehab, Caleb was still there.
Caleb had a lot of work to do himself before he could join his wife in Kentucky. However, his constant relapses and deteriorating health led to his passing. The 1000 Lb Sisters Season 5 finale featured all the Slatons gathering for Caleb’s funeral. Tammy decided to host it, but something else became the cause of concern for fans.
Many fans wondered where Caleb’s family was. They were unable to spot them at his funeral and even the memorial. They were outraged as to why his near and dear ones didn’t show up even at his funeral. Well, some sources have confirmed how Caleb’s family had a problem with the media prying into the cause of his death. They disapproved of that and maintained their distance.
Some even said it was quite off that Caleb’s family wasn’t present for his wedding as well. It was really strange how none of them were there for him during his big moments, no matter how happy and devastating. At last, a 1000 Lb Sisters fan said that they were glad that Caleb was surrounded by caring people after his passing and was able to discover love and friendship before his last days.
