Janelle Brown has uploaded a second message following her son’s tragic death.
As you may already know, Garrison Brown passed away at the age of 25.
Garrison, the son of Janelle and Kody Brown, was reportedly drinking heavily at the time of his death, had mental health issues, and committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
Local officials in Flagstaff, Arizona, confirmed the latter.

Following Garrison’s death, he wrote to his former spiritual spouses:
“Cody and I are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beautiful son Robert Garrison Brown. He was a shining presence in the lives of everyone who knew him.
“His loss will leave a breathtaking hole in our lives.
“We ask that you respect our privacy and join us in remembering him.”

Meanwhile, on Friday morning, she recapped her and Kody’s last holiday get-together with all six of their children and shared snapshots from a family photo shoot.
“We had all the kids together last Christmas,” Janelle captioned an Instagram post on March 8.
“It was really great because it’s hard to arrange time like this in everyone’s busy lives.
“Thank you very much for taking the photo.”
In the photo, Janelle and Garrison pose in the garden with his siblings: Logan (29), Madison (28), Hunter (27), Gabriel (22), Savannah (19)… and Madison’s Husband Caleb Brush and their own children Axel, 6 years old, Evangeline 4 years old, Josephine 13 months, and Logan’s wife Michelle.
According to TMZ, Flagstaff police responded to a death report on Tuesday and found Garrison dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. There is no suspicion of foul play.
Garrison was discovered by his brother, who went to check on the 25-year-old after he sent unsolicited text messages to some of his contacts.

Following news of Garrison’s death, his family, friends and loved ones have taken to social media to mourn his loss.
For example, Christine Brown said, “Garrison was a wonderful and caring brother who understood Truly’s need for a hobby and built her a flower bed.” It’s written next to the clip.
The mother of six added the following hashtag:#Thank you #I miss you #I love you #Tell the person you love that you love them”
Previously, Meri Brown basically shared the same opening statement with Janelle and Kody.

As well documented in recent years on Sister Wives, Garrison was estranged from her father at the time of his death.
Janelle admitted to police that this situation continued until her son’s final moments.
Kody has yet to say anything about the tragedy other than a joint message with Janelle, but sources say the fallout from Garrison’s suicide will have a big impact on Season 19 of Sister Wives.
I found out what happened and wrote TLC as a network.
“We are shocked to hear of the tragic passing of Garrison Brown.
“We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family during this difficult time.”
