Little People Big World has been running on TLC for almost two decades now. In fact, the show had its premiere in 2006. Despite showcasing all things wholesome and pure, there have been some losses in the Roloff Family. Since the show has been ongoing for 16 years, a lot of family members had to say goodbye to near and dear ones. So, who all have lost their lives during the run of the reality show? Keep scrolling to find out.
1. Josh Roloff (Matt’s Brother)
The Roloff family has gone through many losses that the cameras haven’t captured. It turns out Matt Roloff had a brother by the name of Josh. Moreover, he was two years younger than him. It turns out the sibling was born with a rare condition affecting his lungs as well as heart. Initially, doctors claimed he wouldn’t survive beyond a day. However, the odds were in his favor as he got to live up to 34 years old. Alas, the family went through this loss in 1999. As per RadarOnline, the patriarch came clear about this grief in his book ‘Tall Odds: Being A David In A Goliath World’.
2. Patricia Knight ( Amy’s Mother)
Amy Roloff, too had to go through a major loss. Unfortunately, her mother, Patricia Knight, passed away around the time she got engaged to her now-husband, Chris Marek, in 2019. Hence, her cryptic posts shed light on the fact that the celebrity hadn’t been doing well. Eventually, she finally announced her mother’s demise on her social media. Despite it being a tragic phase for the main cast member, she emphasized that her “memories” help her feel comfort.
3. Tomas Garreton (Isabel’s Brother)
Although Little People Big World hasn’t documented her loss, Jacob Roloff’s wife Isabel has also stayed strong during some tough times in her life. Apparently, the new mother has often taken to her Instagram to discuss how she feels about the loss of Isabel’s brother Tomas Garreton. Unluckily, the star mentioned that she lost her brother forever in 2012 as he fell off a freight train. He was only 25 years old back then. The departed soul was a musician and played for the band Profane Sass.
4. Sully (Tori Roloff’s Dog)
All die-hard Little People Big World fans must be familiar with Murphy, i.e., Tori and Zach’s family dog. However, the former opened up about another furry buddy she had while growing up. Just like Murphy, he too was a Bernese Mountain Dog by the name of Sully. Unfortunately, he is no longer with her due to his ailing health. Apparently, Sully lost his life to cancer.
5. Toni Garreton (Isabel’s Mother)
Little People Big World star Isabel Roloff often deals with grief on her social media by talking about major losses in her life. Apart from her brother, the young celebrity had to go through losing her mom, i.e. Tori Garretson too. Unfortunately, it happened due to losing a battle with breast cancer in 2014. Moreover, the star faced deterioration in her mental health after this incident and suffers from depression and anxiety.
6. Felix (Amy Roloff’s Dog)
Amy Roloff often shares a lot of things on her social media. As a result, the TLC star got upfront about losing her furry buddy, Felix. In fact, he was a rescue dog. What’s more unfortunate is that Amy lost Felix two days before her and Chris Marek’s wedding ceremony. Hence, she didn’t even have time to grieve his loss properly. Later on, she made a post more than a month later since his demise to pay tribute to him.
