“Ron was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and many people’s inspiration.”

“Everyone who met him knew he cared about people! His love for Jesus was obvious throughout his life, especially in his latter days.”

Matt has written about his father’s death from chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Matt also experienced the death of a brother.

Matt had to bid farewell to his sibling far too soon after his father’s death.

Josh Roloff died in 1999 at the age of 34.

He was diagnosed with severe heart and lung problems as a toddler.

Even decades after his death, his legacy lives on through his family.

They even named their book Little Family, Big Values after Josh, saying, “A wonderful son, brother, uncle, and friend who was with us for much too little time in this life. We all miss you and think about you every day, and we hope to meet you again in the presence of our Jesus one day.”

Amy’s mother passed away.

Matt’s ex-wife, Amy, sadly lost her mother, Patricia Knight, while celebrating her engagement to Chris Marek, her second husband.

“The last two weeks have been an emotional roller coaster,” she said in 2019. “Both joyful and depressing. Chris proposed to me, and I was overjoyed.”

“Very sad because a few days later, my father informed me that my mother was in the hospital, and a day later, my sister informed me that my mother had died. On the 24th, she passed away. My heart was broken, I cried, and sorrow overtook me. I had no notion what emotions to expect.”
