Teddy Pendergrass died on January 13, 2010, at the age of 59. Prior to his passing, his successful R&B career was derailed after a 1982 auto accident left him severely paralyzed.
LaDonna honored her father on the anniversary of his death with an emotional tribute shared on her Instagram page last year.
She wrote: “Its so hard not being able to pick up the phone and talk to you when I get ready to. I still miss you every day. I wish I could tell you how much I love you.”

Days after Teddy’s death, his son, Teddy Pendergrass II, remembered his father in a candid interview, where he dished about his love for cars and passion for cooking.
“Dad loved his cars. They were his toys. He would collect them and play with them, alternating between his Corvette, his Ferrari and his Rolls-Royce, he said. “In fact, it was in the Rolls that, on March 18, 1982, while driving on a winding Lincoln Drive near our home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he hit a guardrail and crashed into a tree. That accident severed his spinal cord, left him paralyzed from the chest down and changed his life forever, Teddy Jr. added.
“But I choose to remember him as he was long before the accident, driving around in his red Ferrari. I could hear him coming home all the way from the Gladwyne exit in that loud sports car.”
He also described his dad as the man who would “Wake Up Everybody,” then “Turn Out The Lights” and “Close the Door.”
