After Portwood's father was admitted into the hospital earlier this month for liver surgery, Portwood, who resides in Indiana, drove to Florida to be with her father. However, after just a few days, the reality star came down with an illness and was forced to return home.
In response to the passing, Portwood's brother shared his thoughts on Twitter.
"My sister, @AmberLPortwood and I are truly devastated by the loss of our father but his death will not be in vain," Shawn Jr. said. "from his life and what eventually lead to his death. He was ill and his lifestyle attributed to that illness. He suffered and was in pain constantly. He was far too young to die and left us before we were ready."
For the last few months, Portwood, along with her pregnant co-stars Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout, has been filming season 5 of Teen Mom. The upcoming installment will air sometime in 2015.
