3 Members of TLC’s Meet the Putmans Family Killed in Car Accident
The Putman family is in mourning.
Isabella Putman, whose family of 26 all lived under one roof in the 2017 TLC series Meet the Putmans, announced that three members of the family—Bill “Papa” Putman, Neenee Putman and Megan Putman—died in a car crash.
“I come to you with a heavy heart asking for your prayers,” Isabelle wrote in a statement shared to Instagram Sept. 27. “Our family was in a tragic car accident and we lost Papa, Neenee, and Aunt Megan. They have gone home to be with the Lord.”
The reality TV alum also revealed that five other family members sustained injuries in the crash and are still recovering.
“Please keep Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah, and Gia in your prayers as they remain in the hospital,” Isabelle continued. “We are asking for complete healing and strength for each of them.”
Amid their grief, Isabelle reflected on how the entire family—who later chronicled their lives together in their Growing Up Putman spinoff series on YouTube—is leaning on their faith in God.
“He is our hope, our peace, and our salvation,” she shared. “Even in this time of heartbreak, we rest in knowing that God is in control.”
Isabelle added, “We know Papa, Neenee, and Aunt Megan are not gone forever. They are alive and whole in Heaven, standing before Jesus, hearing the words we all long to hear: ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’”
While the family asked for continued prayers and support as they “walk through this deep loss,” Isabelle noted that the Putmans will all “be reunited in Heaven.”

“Thank you for every prayer, message, and act of love,” she wrote. “Your support means more than words can express. Please continue to lift us up, that our hearts remain fixed on the truth that Jesus conquered death so we could have eternal life.”
