Tragic Loss: Garrison Brown, Son of ‘Sister Wives’ Stars Janelle and Kody Brown, Passes Away at 25
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Garrison Brown, the son of reality TV stars Janelle and Kody Brown from the hit show ‘Sister Wives,’ has passed away at the young age of 25. The news of his untimely death has left his family and fans devastated, as they mourn the loss of a bright and beloved young man.
Garrison’s tragic death came just days after he had shared a heartwarming post on Instagram, introducing his newest addition to the family – a nine-year-old cat named Ms. Buttons. In the post, he expressed his compassion for the feline, revealing that she had been on the brink of euthanasia before he stepped in to save her. Little did anyone know that this act of kindness would be one of the last glimpses into Garrison’s life.
The Flagstaff Police Department confirmed that they received a distress call from Garrison’s residence in Arizona, only to discover him lifeless upon arrival. Authorities determined that he had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound, ruling out foul play. It was Garrison’s younger brother, Gabriel, who made the devastating discovery and immediately alerted the police.
Janelle and Kody Brown, Garrison’s parents, took to Instagram to share their heartbreak with their followers. In a joint statement, they expressed their deep sadness and described their son as a bright light in their lives. The pain of his loss was palpable in their words, as they asked for privacy during this difficult time and requested that others join them in honoring Garrison’s memory.
Accompanying their heartfelt message were two poignant photos of Garrison. One showed him proudly donning his military uniform, a testament to his service and dedication. The other captured him with a radiant smile against a picturesque backdrop, a reminder of the joy he brought to those around him. The post was also shared by Meri Brown, another member of the ‘Sister Wives’ family, who stood in solidarity with Janelle and Kody.
While the Brown family has been known for their unconventional lifestyle as polygamists, the focus now remains on the devastating loss they have suffered. Garrison’s passing has shed light on the fractured relationship between Kody and his older children, particularly Garrison and Gabriel. Viewers of ‘Sister Wives’ were privy to the tensions within the family, with Kody accusing his children of not adhering to his rules during the COVID-19 pandemic and disrespecting his wife, Robyn Brown. In turn, his children accused him of favoritism towards Robyn over his other wives and their mothers.
In a previous interview with TLC, Janelle and Christine Brown, two of Kody’s wives, discussed his estrangement from some of his children. Janelle expressed hope that Kody would eventually find a way to rebuild those relationships, emphasizing the importance of a father’s bond with his children.
The tragic loss of Garrison Brown serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact one person can have on those around them. As friends, family, and fans mourn his passing, it is crucial to remember the importance of mental health and reach out for support when needed. If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please don’t hesitate to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or reach out to the Crisis Text Line.
Garrison’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.
