Special Episode of ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Airs in Tribute of Billy Brown

On Feb. 28, a special episode of “Alaskan Bush People” aired in tribute to Billy Brown. And, unsurprisingly, his children played a key role in that tribute. According to PopCulture.com, the episode was called “The Legacy of Billy Brown.” In addition to footage of the late Billy that had never been seen by the public, Billy and Ami’s children talked candidly about what their father meant to them.

Spending time with his father in the great outdoors is something 31-year-old Bear will miss.

“One of my favorite things to do with Dad when we’d go out and we’d hunt together, was just sitting there in a blind and waiting or stalking through the woods,” Bear reportedly said during the tribute episode. “I will always remember that about my dad and I will greatly miss the times we had and the times we won’t have again. But it will always be in my heart and I will always cherish those memories.”

Snowbird said she will miss the stories her father shared with his family. According to Popculture.com, she said her father “would always tell stories even if it was about his childhood or things that he had written for us.” And, she has very vivid memories of these many moments with him. In fact, Snowbird reportedly said she can “still hear his voice reading.”

According to The Sun, in the days after his death Billy Brown’s daughter Rain shared a message about her father on social media.

“I lost a true friend. Not forever, but only in this world. Please hold my family in your thoughts and prayers, especially my mother. Please hold your family tight for me. Words cannot express how wonderful he was and is. But I will say, the closest thing to an angel I’ve ever known.”
