What should be a happy time in Tia’s professional life took a sad turn in her personal life. On February 26, she took to her Instagram to share heartbreaking news with her followers. Her father, Kenny, passed away after a long battle with cancer.
She shared a series of photos and videos to honor her dad’s memory. In a heartfelt caption, she thanked her father. “Thank you Daddy for teaching me how to protect myself, how to take a shot of tequila, and most importantly how to be an independent woman that doesn’t rely on anyone else for success (except you when my car breaks down).”
As sad as losing her father is, she wrote that she’s “so thankful” that he’s free from “cancer’s evil grip.” She did have one request for her deceased dad. “Keep an eye on me&Mama and keep on dancin in Heaven🤍-your little girl.”
Tia Booth had chronicled her father’s cancer battle on her Instagram. She first shared the news of his diagnosis of colon cancer back in March of 2021.

I’m sure Stevie Kuf was meeting him at the gates of Heaven with an ice cold beer. you have the best guardian angel now,” referencing her own dad who passed away in 2009.
Kufrin was a contestant on Luyendyk’s season, winning his final rose, though they later split.

Taylor Mock posted a tribute to his girlfriend on his own Instagram. “Love you girl, thank God you’re tough as nails,” he wrote. Mock further implored his followers to “make sure you give your loved ones a hug today.”
