Because Matt and one of his brothers are little people, some fans are naturally curious to know whether Matt's parents are little people as well. Neither Peggy nor Ron Roloff had the same condition as Matt and Sam, however. (Fans may also recall that Matt's ex, Amy, did not come from parents with the same condition either.)

Although Matt's mother Peggy is still alive today, unfortunately his father Ron died in 2022.
"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," Matt wrote in an Aug. 1 Instagram post. "Ron was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and inspiration to many."
Ronald was 84 years old at the time of his death.

A celebration of life was held for Matt's father — and in November 2022, the LPBW star shared photos from the event with his Instagram followers. He captioned a post filled with pictures: "Papa Ron would have been soooo happy to see all the cousins playing and celebrating his amazing life… A life well lived indeed!"
