Following the passing of Matt’s father, Isabel took to Instagram to share two family photos featuring the late family patriarch.

She paired the snaps with a moving caption, which brought followers to tears.

The mom of one wrote: “You know those people that just make you feel safe and loved when you’re with them?

“Papa Roloff was one of those people. All three of my grandpas passed before I got to know them, so he was the closest thing I had to one. Any time I would introduce myself as his grand-daughter in law, he would say, “No, no you’re my granddaughter as far as I’m concerned!” And he’d lovingly grip my shoulder and chuckle.”

Isabel went on: “His positive attitude was contagious. His attention to people and detail was admirable. His huge heart and love for his family, especially his wife was inspiring. He loved people really well. I just feel lucky to be included in that list of people he loved.

“Even looking at these pictures, it warms my heart to see his smile. Jacob and I were fortunate enough to spend some really wonderful time with Papa and Huny in Arizona in June. He got to meet our son for the first time, which I know meant a lot.”

She concluded: “Papa, you will be so missed. My heart hurts but I know you’re at peace now. Thank you for your love and kindness, it will always be remembered.”

Her comments were filled with sad messages and shows of support

Audrey Roloff, who shared her own tribute to Papa Roloff, wrote: “Actually crying when i read the “grip my shoulder” part cause i miss that.”

A fan added: “I’ve seen him on LPBW since the beginning and could always see the love he had for his family. I am so sorry for your loss Iz. And share my condolences with Jacob too. It’s so hard to lose grandparents. Mine are all gone now and it’s so hard.”

Another supportive commenter wrote: “Love and peace during this challenging time.”

Someone else chimed in: “So sorry for your loss.”

ROLOFF REUNION

Despite an ongoing feud between them, the Roloff family reunited following Matt’s father’s death.

An insider revealed Ron was in the hospital in Arizona and Matt and his girlfriend Caryn Chandler rushed to be with him, along with the 60-year-old’s children: MollyJacobZach, and Jeremy.

It’s the first time the family has been all together since Matt and his sons Zach and Jeremy publicly feuded over the sale of their huge family farm in Oregon.

“Ron was previously diagnosed with blood cancer, and about two weeks ago he contracted Covid and ended up with pneumonia and other issues,” the source shared with The Sun.

“Matt was very upset and he and Caryn immediately flew out to Arizona to spend his final hours with him and the whole family. It was exactly what Ron wanted.

“Matt’s relationship with his sons still isn’t great, but they put their differences aside to be there for each other during this important moment.”

The insider went on: “It was the first time the family has been together like that in quite some time and no doubt put a lot into perspective for them all, they know family comes first.

“Hopefully this could be a turning point of sorts and get them to heal the rift and move forward.”

Matt shared news of his father’s death with fans on Monday, August 1, in a moving Instagram post.

Next to a photograph of his dad beaming, he wrote: “A sad week for the Roloff family. My dad … affectionately known as ‘papa’ to his 10 grandchildren and his 10 great grandkids, peacefully went home to be with his Lord and Savior yesterday evening.

“Ron was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and inspiration to many. He literally loved people and anyone who ever came in contact with him knows that!”

Matt went on: “His love for Jesus was so evident throughout his entire life and certainly in his final hours.

“With his special love of his life (since grade school) his wife of 63 years ‘Huny’ right by his side … many of us were with him reading his favorite Bible Verses.

“I would list one but he had so many favorites! Some of his last words to me were telling me how proud he was of the things I had accomplished … then he quoted … ‘My Father’s house has many rooms; Jesus said. I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. (John 14:2-3).'”

FINAL FAREWELL

Matt then concluded: “What a man and a life well lived! Thanks to all the grandchildren that were able to race to his bedside and hold his hands with mom and I in his final moments here on earth!! Love love to all!” tagging his four children in the post.

As exclusively reported by The Sun, 60-year-old Matt has asked for about $4million with the sale of the “original family home and bright red barn.”

The plot is a 16-acre parcel from his 109-acre pumpkin farm, which he and ex-wife Amy previously ran before their divorce.

The current season of the TLC reality show has focused on the estrangement between the father/son duo as they decide who will take over when Matt retires.

The situation ignited a rift between the pair, which Zach, 31, had talked about on the show.

He said: “My dad was definitely encouraging the conversation, [wife] Tori and [Matt’s girlfriend] Caryn came too.

“The north side is the 30 acres my mom and dad shared, and the whole thing was weird, he starts making excuses… suddenly me and my wife are not good enough to run the farm.

“Whether we don’t have the money, don’t have the skillset… Tori said, ‘It wasn’t cool, I never wanna see someone talk to my husband like that ever.'”

The argument has further caused a divide among the family, as Zach opted to take a step back from his duties at the farm.

Zach and Tori also made the decision to move from their Oregon home to their new $1million abode in Battle Ground, Washington.

Zach’s twin brother, Jeremy, made a similar move as he purchased his own farm with his wife, Audrey.

Jeremy previously put in an offer on the property, which Matt also turned down.
