Gabe Brown of the Alaskan Bush People is a happy father of two, with fans now wondering how he chose to celebrate Father’s Day this past Sunday. Like the rest of the Wolf Pack, Gabe is missing the patriarch, Billy Brown, who passed away in February of 2021. Gabe is making it his goal to be the best dad he can be in memory of Billy.
The Brown family has been starring on Discovery’s Alaskan Bush People since 2014. Gabe, who promotes his artwork online, has always been the muscle of the family, with fans watching him move tress and machinery. Like the rest of the Alaskan Bush People, Gabe grew up appreciating the great outdoors after falling in love with the ocean while he lived on his father’s fishing boat. The 31-year-old has always had a good attitude, which helped him meet his wife, Raquell. Fans will recall the couple met on Valentine’s Day in 2018 and married in 2019. The duo is now proud parents to two sweet little girls.
Even though Gabe and Raquell have been highly secretive regarding anything that has to do with their private life, the Alaskan Bush People star did share a post on his special day with his followers. In a lengthy post, Gabe, who secretly welcome a second child, shared with fans his once strong ambitions, noting that he never cared to be a policeman or dancer, only that he wanted to grow up and be just like his father, Billy. According to Gabe, his father was very “supportive” in every way, making it easy to look up to him. On Father’s Day, fans could see that Gabe chose to honor his father in a loving Instagram post.
Gabe even shared a cute family story about him learning to tie his shoes as a child. As the story goes, Gabe would constantly trip over his laces. Billy had the brilliant idea to cut the laces out and make Gabe his own slip-on shoes. The moment resonated with Gabe, and he still carries the story close to his heart. Alaskan Bush People fans who have kept up to date with Gabe’s parenting know he is trying his best to fill Billy’s large shoes.
While it has been a challenging year and a half for the Alaskan Bush People family, it seems that Gabe and his siblings are trying their best to keep Billy’s memory alive. With every holiday that passes, Gabe has been able to post a touching tribute to Billy, with Father’s Day being no exception. Hopefully, the series will be a greenlit for another season so fans can truly get an update on everyone. For now, Gabe will continue to post his touching tributes on his social media.
