1000-LB. SISTERS star Tammy Slaton’s late husband Caleb Willingham’s emotional outdoor sunset funeral took place on Sunday, July 30, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
The modest celebration of life took place in Kentucky, a few minutes from Tammy’s home, and flowers, friends, and an emotional evening on the water.
On Sunday evening, the 1000-Lb. Sisters cast and crew gathered at Tammy’s home to film a few scenes before heading out to the water.
Tammy, 37, emerged from her home wearing a short black mini-dress with a matching collar and showed off her impressive weight loss.
She walked unassisted all the way to the car where they drove her out to the water for sunset.
Tammy had to brush away a few tears when saying her final farewell during the ceremony, and her sister Amy, 35, was there by her side to lend support.
The 1000-Lb. Sisters star held a bouquet of colorful flowers in tribute to her late husband.
TRAGIC LOSS
The U.S. Sun previously reported that Caleb died on June 30 at 40 years old and it has been tough on Tammy because she “knows it could have been herself,” according to a source.
An insider said Tammy has been having a hard time processing Caleb’s death because of their shared time at the Ohio weight loss clinic.
The insider stated: “They were best friends and were supporters of each other in the clinic, and [his death is] devastating for her.”
Tammy’s friend continued: “She told me she could have easily been him.”
The source explained: “Tammy went through the same experience that Caleb did and wanted him to get better, but he just didn’t have a drive [to lose weight].
“She didn’t have the drive for a bit and was struggling with alcohol abuse and not caring and I think Caleb had the same mindset of ‘I’ve already done this to myself, I’m already this big, there’s no turning back.'”
The source concluded: “It’s hard on her because she has experienced it and is of the mindset of, ‘This could have been me.'”
GO TAMMY!
Meanwhile, Tammy, who once weighed 717 pounds, has stayed on the right track despite Caleb’s devastating death.
She now weighs under 340 pounds, an insider has exclusively shared with The U.S. Sun.
“Tammy thought she weighed 370 pounds,” the source shared.
“Tammy went to a rehab center last Thursday and got weighed. She actually lost more than she had thought.”
“She’s down to 334 and doing awesome,” the source insisted.
The insider claimed Tammy hasn’t had any relapses or struggles since exiting rehab earlier this year, and is determined to stick with her new lifestyle.
Tammy has been showing off her thinner figure in new photos she shared on her social media.
While in rehab, fans were unhappy Tammy wasn’t super active on social media, and wasn’t sharing progress updates.
Now that Tammy is out of the weight loss clinic, she’s been posting plenty of selfies and full-body photos on Instagram to flaunt her success.
