Witney Carson Writes Touching Goodbye After Father-In-Law Kevin McAllister Passes Away

Witney Carson‘s father-in-law, Kevin McAllister, has sadly passed away.

The Dancing With The Stars pro dancer revealed the news to her followers on social media this afternoon, writing a touching tribute to her husband, Carson‘s father.

“After two long years of battling, & fighting tremendously… our sweet Kevin passed away last night,” she wrote. “Although it will be excruciatingly painful at times to live without him, we know he lives on around us being our guardian angel wherever we go. We’re so grateful for the time we’ve had with him on this earth, & we know he’s in a better place.”

Witney continues, “It’s hard not to think, why does my husband have to live without his dad? Why do my kids not ever get to know their Poppy & then I remember the Plan of Salvation, to know we will see him again…and that gives me peace.”

“I know Kevin is getting our kids ready to come down to meet us- he’s probably spinning them around on the floor right now, over and over again until they cry of laughter! We know you’ll be there when we can’t see you or hold you- lift us up when we have moments of trouble and heartache. Our guardian angel. We love you Kev. Until we meet again.”

Witney bowed out of the Dancing With The Stars winter tour to be with Carson while spending time with Kevin, who passed on from pancreatic cancer.
