The Roloff family, famous for their reality show “Small People, Big World,” has endured several heartbreaking losses, strengthening their bond. Matt Roloff, a prominent member of the family, recently bid farewell to his father, Ronald James Roloff, who passed away at 84. Matt fondly referred to him as “papa” to numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, highlighting his love for others and unwavering faith.
Prior to his passing, Matt had openly discussed his father’s battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Tragically, Matt also faced the loss of his brother, Josh Roloff, at the age of 34 due to heart and lung problems, a loss that continues to be commemorated by the family.
Amy, Matt’s ex-wife, experienced her own devastating loss when her mother, Patricia Knight, unexpectedly passed away while Amy was engaged to Chris Marek.
Jacob, the son of Matt and Amy, may never have met his late brother-in-law, Tomás Garrenton, who tragically lost his life in a rail accident.
Isabel, Jacob’s wife, also endured the loss of her mother, Toni Garreton, just two years after her brother’s tragic death. She shared her grief on social media, cherishing the precious memories they had together.
