Television personality Janelle Brown's first husband, Adam Barber, passed away on October 5, 2023, at 54. He struggled with terminal cancer for a long time, leading to his demise. Janelle and Adam were married from 1988 to 1990.
According to People magazine, Adam's sister, Meri Brown, she shared a few photos on her Instagram page with a lengthy caption explaining her brother's battle with cancer.
She started by writing,
"About 5 weeks ago I got a text from my brother he had made the decision to not continue his chemo treatment, due to the rapid progression of his cancer & deterioration of his body. Yesterday, Oct 5, 2023, just 2 months short of his 55th birthday, we lost him."
Meri stated that she has a lot of memories with Adam and is the only sibling left for now. Meri revealed that their sister Teresa died from cancer in 2006, and their brother died of heart disease in 2015.
She continued,
"Now, I understand that it's not just me. I still have 3 younger sisters with us, the 7 of us just mom's kids. Plus many other siblings from our large family structure. I don't yet understand why his passing, and leaving me as the one remaining of the original four, is impacting me like it is."
She addressed the siblings' relationship and that the bond she shared with Adam taught her many things.
