Ethan’s mother, Phyllis, tragically took her own life when he was just a toddler, in March 1976. She was only 30 years old and had married Jackson Browne a year prior.<\/p>\n
In a 2021 interview, Jackson shared that after Phyllis’ death, his primary focus in life became fatherhood. In a conversation with Route Magazine, Jackson said: “I only had two things that I hoped I could fit together: being a songwriter and a father,” he said. “And I looked at it like this, if I have to only be a father, I hope I’ll know it, and just do that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After news of his passing broke, supporters flocked to social media to express their grief. One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted: “Heartbreaking news that Jackson Browne’s adult son Ethan has passed away. I’ve not only had a musical connection to Jackson but a fatherly one too, as you can see by these two photos framed in my house.”<\/p>\n
Jackson has moved over 30 million albums across the United States since the mid-60s. He initially gained recognition penning tracks for other artists before achieving his own chart success, including Running on Empty.<\/p>\n
