According to Lieutenant Charles M. Hernandez II of the Flagstaff Police Department, Garrison's brother Gabriel, 22, was reported to have "discovered Mr. Brown deceased" in an apparent suicide when authorities responded to a complaint of a death inside a home, as reported to People.
The 25-year-old son of Sister Wives actors Janelle and Kody Brown, Garrison, was discovered dead on March 5 at his Flagstaff, Arizona, residence.
Meanwhile, on Instagram the very same day, Janelle confirmed the devastating news, saying that she and Kody were "deeply saddened" to announce the passing of "our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown."
His family and friends paid tribute to Garrison on social media following a small, private viewing they attended on Saturday.
Honoring the Life of Garrison Brown with Family and Friends
Garrison Brown’s sister Myleti Brown Padron who is Christine's daughter and Robert's half-sibling, wrote a heartfelt ode to him on Instagram on Monday. Mykelti commented, "My heart breaks for my brother who's no longer with us but it rejoices knowing he's with his fellow warriors in Valhalla drinking and fighting with Odin," after sharing two statements regarding pain and experiencing love.
In a post on Instagram on Sunday, Christine Brown remembered Garrison by sharing family photos and writing, "Every photo with Garrison in it is now infinitely more important than ever before. I am scrambling for just another glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son…#alwaysbemissed #missyou #notenough."
"I hope he is loving his place amongst the stars," she continued. "Garrison was always the funniest person in the room. He was one cool dude and I cry so much because my kinda will never be able to experience his fun presence. But he will live on in all my families memories. Have fun up with the stars little bro, you’re missed."
On Sunday, in yet another tribute, Garrison's sister Maddie (Brown) Brush wrote on Instagram, "Our hearts our [sic] broken and we are now swallowed with the love now left behind for this beautiful brother. God be with you till we meet again. I’ll see you at the gates of Valhalla, feasting with our ancestors who battled before you. Until then, we must live in a more gray world without the light you brought.”
Janelle Brown and Kody Brown troubled marriage
In 1993, Janelle and Kody had a spiritual marriage and went on to raise six children together: Madison, Logan, Garrison, Gabriel, Hunter, and Savanah. Janelle disclosed her separation from Kody in December 2022. Meanwhile, Kody's relationship with his children has become rocky over the years.
In a recent episode of Sister Wives last year, Garrison Brown’s younger brother Gabriel Brown and mother Janelle Brown explained that they were "at odds" with Kody after expressing their "discontent" with how he had handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
Janelle later expressed concerns over her children's strained relationship with their father, saying in a confessional, “I have worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything... [Garrison] just seems angry or sadder, like, he’s not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be.”
