Willingham’s younger brother took to Facebook in July 2023 to share the heartbreaking news of his passing.
“I can’t believe I’m even making this post, but today GOD called my big brother home,” he wrote.
“RIP Caleb Willingham aka Killla K aka Double K aka one-half of the dynamic WWF tag team champions The W Boys aka my biggest supporter in anything I do.
“You will be forever loved and missed. Until we meet again.”
In her own tribute, Slaton shared her heartbroken sentiment.
She told People: “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.”
In a follow-up post on Instagram, she wrote: “RIP sweet angel you will forever be missed and loved so much thank you Caleb for showing me real love and happiness.”
In response, a fan said: “This one hits too close to home man, my heart can’t believe what I’m reading y’all don’t even know.”
Another added: “Oh no, I’m so sorry! This makes me so sad. Caleb was one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever known. I’m so glad he and I crossed paths many years ago.”
While a third commented: “Omg. Prayers to you, Tammy, and all his friends and family.”
In a TikTok video posted on July 2, two days after her husband died, Slaton said: “I hate getting on here and letting everybody see me like this.
“I’m having stages of grief. Yeah, we were having problems, but I loved that man. I still do.”
She continued: “I miss him like crazy, but I wanted to thank everybody for your comments. I appreciate them, I really do. We’re not going to get into details of what happened. I think that, no offence, but that’s really personal.”
Following the tragic announcement, details slowly came forth about Willingham’s passing.
Per information acquired by Radar Online from the Gibsonburg Police Department, law enforcement and medical personnel rushed to the Windsor Lane facility upon receiving a report of an individual in an unresponsive state.
A law enforcement officer who arrived at the scene reportedly maintained vigilance outside the individual’s room until the arrival of a forensic investigator.
Efforts to reach Willingham’s doctor, potentially holding vital information regarding any underlying health conditions, proved futile for the responders.
Despite administering life-saving procedures, unfortunately, the TLC personality was declared deceased as their efforts did not yield success.

“The death was then turned over to the Sandusky County Coroner Office due to the EMS Captain being unable to make contact with the patient’s personal physician,” the police report stated.

The police report also stated: “Medical staff were on-scene with the patient when he became unresponsive.
“During this Officer’s involvement with the incident, there were no indications of any criminal activity. This death investigation is concluded by this department.”
Willingham’s official cause of death has now been confirmed.
