Caleb Willingham passed away on June 30 aged just 40 and it's said funeral arrangements have eventually been finalised. It's reported the ceremony will take place at the home of the 1000-Lb star, whom he married in 2019.

Despite the pair's relationship only lasting a matter of months, Caleb's death seems to have hit the 36-year-old hard. She has regularly taken to social media to share her anguish with her followers in the days and weeks since Caleb's passing.

And now, she seems to have taken it upon herself to finalise the arrangements for his final resting day.

It's thought the ceremony will take place just days before Tammy's birthday. It is unknown whether cameras for her hit TLC show will be at her home for the proceedings. Filming was reportedly halted on the upcoming series after the family got into a heated dispute while filming in Florida.

Tammy is said to have taken Caleb's death hard as she knows it "could have been herself". They had been best friends throughout their weight loss journey and an insider said: "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.'"

It's reported Caleb had gained 30lbs following his split from Tammy, with his health said to have been deteriorating.
