Had to google the fat bastard

June 21, 2023. Larry Myers Jr., the aspiring gospel singer who starred in TLC’s “My 600-Lb. Life” and became known as Mr. Buttermilk Biscuits, has died. He was 49.

The reality star died from a heart attack at his home in Houston, Texas, last week after mourning the death of a friend, family spokesperson Sonya Hines-Hall told.

Hines-Hall, who was his godsister, also organized a GoFundMe campaign to raise $35,000 for Myers’ funeral arrangements. So far, the fundraiser has raised $4,490.

“Larry, aka ‘Mr. Buttermilk Biscuits,’ has used his musical talents to bless others since the age of 10,” Hines-Hall wrote on the fundraiser’s webpage.

“From a small storefront church in his home town to the big stage of the Apollo theater, Larry always made himself available to sing at special events anytime anyone asked, most of the time free of charge. His struggle with weight gain/loss never dimmed his drive to show love and kindness to all he met.”

Myers appeared in Season 10 of the TLC reality series about people who are morbidly obese after previously having weight-loss surgery. In the episode titled “Larry’s Journey,” which aired in January 2022, Myers weighed 940 pounds ahead of having gastric-bypass surgery.

He lost about 100 pounds over the course of the show and earned his nickname after going viral for singing the phrase “buttermilk biscuits” while eating biscuits and fried chicken in the episode.

“Food is like a drug. When I’m exhausted I need to eat,” he said, noting that “on a good day” he would eat about 3,000 calories, trying to fill a void from missing his mother and sisters.

Ate himself to death. There could be worse ways to go I guess.

$35,000 for a funeral? JFC, do they charge by the pound or something? He could be cremated (in shifts.)
