“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him,” Janelle expressed, encapsulating the family’s grief. The shared statement from both Janelle and Kody Brown, Garrison’s father, requested privacy during this challenging time as they endeavor to honor the memory of their son.
The Flagstaff Police Department confirmed the circumstances surrounding Garrison’s death. Lieutenant Charles M. Hernandez II stated, “Flagstaff Police officers responded to a report of a death inside a home,” on March 5, 2024. The discovery of Garrison, by his younger brother Gabriel, was reported as an apparent suicide, with ongoing investigations indicating no foul play.
TLC, the television network that brought the Brown family into the homes of millions since 2010 through Sister Wives, extended its deepest condolences. “We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown. We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time,” the network said in a statement.
Garrison was among the children of Kody and Janelle Brown’s polygamist family, which included siblings Madison, Logan, Gabriel, Hunter, and Savanah. The family dynamics and relationships, particularly the recent tensions between Kody and his sons over various issues, including the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, had been a focal point on the show. Garrison and his brother Gabriel openly shared their struggles with their father’s approach during these challenging times, highlighting the complexities within their family life.
Janelle’s separation from Kody in December 2022, following Christine’s departure, marked a significant shift in the family, leaving Robyn as Kody’s only remaining wife. This event, among others, underscored the evolving relationships and challenges faced by the Brown family.
