ANGELA SIMMON'S AGONIZING LOSS

For Angela, her father has been her tower of strength since her son's father and ex-fiancé Sutton Tennyson, 37, was killed in November 2018.

Angela and Tennyson had become engaged in 2016, but shortly after little Sutton's birth, the two had parted ways amicably, united by their love for their son.

Since Tennyson's tragic passing, the Rev has stepped up to the pitch, and he is giving his grandson the father's love and examples that he needs to become a good and honorable man.

Angela Simmons is so lucky to have such a wonderful father!

THE DEATH OF ANGELA SIMMONN'S EX-FIANCÉ

In November 2018, Angela Simmons received the call we all dread. The Police were informing her of the death of her ex-fiancé and the father of her baby son Sutton - Sutton Tennison Sr.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers responded to a call of shots fired at the Tennison residence shortly before 5 p.m.

The responding officers found Tennison dead inside his open garage, with multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses later reported that the victim had been talking to another man, who had later fled the scene in a car.
