https://www.tmz.com/2021/02/08/billy-brown-alaskan-bush-people-dead-died/ Billy Brown -- the Brown family patriarch featured in 12 seasons of the hit series "Alaskan Bush People" -- has died. Billy died Sunday following a seizure. His son, Bear, wrote on Instagram the family is "heartbroken to announce that our beloved patriarch Billy Brown passed away last night after suffering from a seizure." Bear added, "He was our best friend - a wonderful and loving dad, granddad and husband and he will be dearly missed. He lived his life on his terms, off the grid and off the land and taught us to live like that as well." A spokesperson for Discovery tells TMZ ... everyone at the network is devastated and said Billy's been "part of the Discovery family for years - a trailblazer, a lovely man and most definitely one of a kind. Our heart is with his family and those that knew him and loved him as they deal with this devastating loss." Billy was an avid hunter and a pretty brilliant commercial fisherman in the North Pacific. He grew up in Texas and when he was 16 he suffered a tragedy -- his mother, father and sister died in a plane crash. After meeting his wife, Ami, in Texas, they decided to move to Alaska where they raised their family of 5 sons and 2 daughters. Billy was 68. RIP
Ohh - I was looking for this thread last night and couldn't find it. They left a couple years ago. Usually I like this show and laugh at the cringey and absurdity of these people, but yesterdays episodes were kind of a bummer. Add that to Billy's death that's coming, I just feel bad for them, and that's not fun to watch.
imagine seeing all of the shit they build and it not working out and thinking we need to build a zip line. as to the move, I just can't wrap my head around them leaving the "free money" for the non convicts
I didnt enjoy this season. I like to laugh at all these idiots. I felt so bad for them all season. The wild fires and billy's death- they were so morose all year, they didnt do anything all that dumb to laugh at.
