“Just 2 months short of his 55th birthday, we lost him,” Brown wrote on Instagram. “I have so many good memories with him over the years, because, siblings. I also have some not so good memories with him through the years, because, siblings. 😆.”
Brown also said that Adam told her he had “cancer was terminal and that he potentially had only weeks or months to live, something hit me like a ton of bricks.” She said she felt like she was the only one of the “original four” siblings. She went on:
“We lost Teresa, our sister just younger than me, to cancer in 2006. We lost our oldest brother Marc to heart issues in 2015. Now Adam to another type of cancer,” she said. “That leaves me.”
According to Brown, it’s just a feeling. “it’s not just me” she said. The TLC star has 3 younger siblings that are also from the same mother. She says this because she grew up in a polygamist family, meaning that she has family from other sister moms.

Meri is not an only child by any means, but that doesn’t mean that Adam’s passing hasn’t been tough. She wondered if it was that the four oldest siblings are the only family living in California like her, or if it’s that Adam was one of her siblings from her pro-polygamy life.
“I don’t know what it is, but there’s always been something about the original 4. Not better, just different. Not closer, just different. Maybe I’ll figure it out someday, maybe I won’t. Only time will tell.”
“Regardless, (and you have no idea how bad I want to type in ‘irregardless’ there, in honor of him & our many arguments about whether that is even a word) I will move forward living, loving, forgiving, remembering,” she went on. “The relationship I had with him taught me many things, and I have no doubt will continue to teach me things. I remain open to those lessons & look forward to them with anticipation.”
