Ronson appeared in multiple films, and as a model, he posed for designers like Isaac Mizrahi.

He was a well-known figure in Los Angeles, and he merited multiple mentions in Mark Ronson’s recent memoir.

The producer and musician described Ethan as “the real deal — with an angular face and soulful gaze that seemed to reveal his deepest truths, even from a glossy page.”

Jackson enjoyed a close relationship with his eldest son and often spoke highly of him in interviews.

“I only had two things that I hoped I could fit together: being a songwriter and a father,” he told Route magazine in 2021.

“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. “

In 2023, Jackson praised Ethan’s parenting skills in an interview with Tru Rock magazine.

“Ethan is a great father. He’s a great son, a great man,” Browne said.

“I love seeing him with his kids. When I see him in his movies, modeling, with his daughter, and being such a great dad, it makes me very proud. It makes me feel I’ve done something really right in my life.”

Our thoughts go out to Ethan Browne’s loved ones at this enormously difficult time.
