Six months ago, the Putman family, known from TLC's "Meet the Putmans," suffered an unimaginable tragedy. On September 26, patriarch Bill "Papa" Putman, matriarch Barb "Neenee" Putman, and daughter-in-law Megan Putman lost their lives in a devastating car accident.
Blake Putman, Megan's husband and father to Noah, Lulu, and Alena, shared his harrowing experience of the crash. He recounted remembering the impact and being on the road after their car was struck by a semi-truck. The incident occurred about a mile from their Caro, Michigan home.
