Alaskan Bush People: Is Gabe Brown Still Grieving?

Gabe Brown’s latest photo shocked fans. It is almost as if he is trying to look like Billy Brown, his late father. But some of the comments coming from the online followers worry about the look in his eyes.

Fans say he looks rather sad. Gabe Brown’s long and now gray hair is growing wild-looking. Plus he sports an unkempt-looking beard topped off with what looks like an attempt at a handlebar mustache.

You may find your jaw-dropping at the first look at this Alaskan Bush People celebrity, Gabe Brown today. If ever he wanted to look like a mountain man — well, it safe to say he’s succeeded.

Gabe Close to Billy Brown

Billy Brown’s death rocked the Alaskan Bush People family to their core. This patriarch was the glue that held the family together. His adult kids often said this about Billy Brown during interviews.

He died at only 68 a little over a year ago in February 2021. He passed away after suffering a seizure. But he battled health problems for a few years before his death.

Both Gabe Brown, 31, and his brother Noah Brown, 28, seemed especially close to their dad. They planned on building their mountain house together.

But this one big house would have two separate sides. In between the two sides of Gabe and his brother, they planned on building an apartment for Billy and their mom, Ami Brown.

So, the Alaskan Bush People’s sons had big plans for their parents. They thought this would be a great place so they could watch their grandbabies grow up. Both Gabe and Noah made Billy and Ami grandparents. As did their brother Bear Brown.

Alaskan Bush People: Taking on Role of His Father?

Billy Brown had long gray hair and a thick untrimmed beard. It looks like Gabe is following in his father’s footsteps. He’s not the oldest son, that’s Matt Brown, 39.

Then he’s followed by Bam Brown, 37 and Bear Brown is next at 34. The elder son, Matt, moved away from his Alaskan Bush People family.

So, he doesn’t seem to show any interest in filling his Dad’s shoes. But that may be what Gabe is doing. It seems as if he’s even starting to look the part.

But whatever his reason is for morphing into this mountain man look, some fans don’t seem to care for it.
