Janelle Brown’s Heartfelt Tribute to Garrison
Six months after the devastating loss of her son, Janelle Brown, one of the stars of Sister Wives, shared an emotional tribute to Garrison on social media. Her message resonated deeply with fans who have been following her journey through grief, offering unwavering support and sympathy.
At 55, Janelle remains a pillar of strength despite her overwhelming loss. In her latest post, she shared a tender photo of herself and Garrison. In the picture, Garrison embraces his mother warmly, kissing her cheek—a moment frozen in time that captures their deep bond. Janelle, dressed in a stylish green top with her blonde hair neatly done, manages a smile, though her sadness is evident beneath the surface.
The caption accompanying the image was a gut-wrenching reflection on her pain:
“You left six months ago today. I look at pictures of you almost every day. Sometimes, it feels like you’re still here. And then it hits me—you won’t be calling or texting me anymore. I know you fought as hard as you could, but in the end, you just couldn’t stay. I love you so much, and I know I’ll see you again when my journey is over.”
Fans quickly flooded the comment section with messages of love and encouragement. “You are so kind for not asking him why,” one user wrote. “Just telling him that it’s okay he had to leave. That’s love.” Another added, “I can’t even begin to imagine what you go through daily, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—he was so lucky to have you as his mom.”
The outpouring of support demonstrated how deeply Garrison had touched those around him, both personally and through his presence on Sister Wives. Many fans shared how they had loved watching Janelle and Garrison’s close relationship, with one remarking, “He had your huge heart.” Another supporter wrote, “I ache with you and for you. You’re in my prayers every single day.”
Remembering Garrison’s Final Moments
The tragic loss of Garrison occurred on March 5, when he was found in his home in Flagstaff, Arizona. After months of speculation, the Coconino County Medical Examiner confirmed the heartbreaking details—his passing was ruled a suicide. Reports indicated that Garrison suffered from alcohol poisoning and ethanol intoxication before succumbing to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His blood alcohol content was alarmingly high, measuring at .370% and .307% in vitreous blood samples.
Perhaps the most harrowing aspect of this tragedy was the discovery made by his younger brother, Gabriel. This shocking event left an unimaginable scar on the Brown family. In a joint statement, Janelle and Kody Brown shared their grief on Instagram:
“Kody and I are deeply heartbroken to share that our beloved son, Robert Garrison Brown, has passed away. He was a bright light in all of our lives, and our world is forever dimmer without him. We ask for privacy as we navigate this unbearable loss.”
Fans first met Garrison through Sister Wives when the Brown family joined the reality TV world in 2010. Over the years, he became a familiar face on the show, showcasing his humor, kindness, and strong bond with his siblings. Despite the overwhelming tragedy, Janelle continues to hold close relationships with her other children: Logan (29), Maddie (28), Hunter (27), Gabe (22), and Savanah (19). Their collective strength is a testament to their resilience as they move forward together.
What’s Next for Sister Wives?
The upcoming season of Sister Wives is expected to be one of the most intense yet. It will explore the emotional aftermath of Garrison’s passing, revealing how the Brown family copes with such a profound loss. Viewers will see a more vulnerable side of Kody, Janelle, and their family members, including Kody’s ex-wives Christine and Meri Brown, along with his only remaining wife, Robyn Brown.
A source close to the family revealed that the season will revolve around the burning question: “Why did this happen?” As the Browns come to terms with their grief, tensions are expected to rise, with family members struggling to understand how things unraveled. “They’re going to start tearing each other down to figure out what went wrong,” the source explained, hinting at emotional and raw moments ahead.
