What Was Matt Brown’s Relationship With His Family Before His Death?
There had been distance between Matt and his family members for quite some time. But in a 2021 Instagram video reshared by The Sun, he said he was able to “reconcile” with his dad Billy before the patriarch passed away following a seizure that year.
And in a 2024 TikTok, Bear gave an update on where the Brown family stood with Matt.
“Everything with Matt is a very painful thing,” Bear explained “It’s not something that I want to talk about. It’s not something that I want to address. I would say this though: Matt is doing good. He’s doing much better than he was doing, and he doesn’t want to associate with the family these days.”
Despite this estrangement, Matt’s family has many fond memories of him.
“Matt was intelligent, curious, creative, and endlessly fascinated by the world around him,” the Browns said in a statement to Us Weekly. “He was a gifted outdoorsman who felt most at home on the water, in the wilderness, or sharing what he had learned with others. He was an accomplished fisherman, an experienced boatman, and served as the radar operator on our family’s vessels. He loved adventure and never stopped exploring new ideas.”
The family said Matt had an “extraordinary mind,” talent as an artist and deep care for people. “Those who truly knew Matt knew his heart,” they added. “He was compassionate, generous with his time, and deeply wanted to help others.”
