Remembering Matt Brown: “He Was the Light”

After the loss of their brother Matt Brown, siblings Noah, Rain, and Gabe--known to many from the TV series Alaskan Bush People--share what they've been wrestling with in the days since his death, from the shock of "not knowing" to the painful finality of confirmation. They remember Matt as both deeply intelligent and relentlessly goofy: a tinkerer, a reader, an artist, and a survivalist who could still find a way to make someone laugh on their worst day. The Browns also speak candidly about Matt's struggles with mental health and addiction, and they use this moment to urge anyone who's hurting to reach out—because feeling alone doesn't mean you are.
