The death of 25-year-old Garrison Brown, the son of Sister Wives actresses Janelle and Kody Brown, has left his family and fans in deep sorrow.
Tuesday, Janelle posted the devastating news on Instagram, saying, “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown.” He brought joy and brightness to everyone he came into contact with.
She went on, “We will be left with a void in our lives that is so immense that it will leave us speechless.” Please respect our privacy and join us in paying tribute to his memory. Kody posted the same message on his Instagram page as well.
In a statement to People, Flagstaff Police Department Lieutenant Charles M. Hernandez II verified the tragic event, stating: “On 03/05/2024 Flagstaff Police officers responded to a report of a death inside a home.”
Gabriel, 22, Garrison’s brother, discovered him dead from what appeared to be a suicide. “At this time, there is no indication of foul play, and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division are investigating,” Lt. Hernandez continued.
The network that produced Sister Wives, TLC, released a statement expressing their sympathies, saying, “We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown.” We send the Brown family our sincere condolences and best sympathy during this trying time.
In addition to siblings Madison, Logan, Gabriel, Hunter, and Savanah, Garrison was a member of the polygamist family headed by Kody and Janelle when he was first presented to viewers in 2010 through Sister Wives. In December 2022, Janelle filed for divorce from Kody, making her the second wife to do so following Christine. Later, Meri left as well, leaving Robyn as Kody’s only surviving wife.
Tensions have been apparent between Kody and his children in recent years, especially between Gabriel and Garrison, who have shown dissatisfaction with Kody’s management of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Gabriel said, “I was met with just a wall,” at the time. Additionally, there was no dialogue. That, in my opinion, is what ultimately strained our relationship.
Concerning her sons’ mental health, Janelle mentioned Garrison’s apparent change in behavior and Gabriel’s intense feelings. “My concerns are on the mental well-being of my youngsters. Gabriel has a profound sense of everything. She said, “But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything,” and then described Garrison as “not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be,” saying that he “just seems angry or sadder.”
We extend our sincere condolences to the Brown family and the Sister Wives community during this trying time, as the loss of Garrison Brown is a great one.
