Just over three weeks since losing their loved one, a trio of Sister Wives stars paid tribute to Garrison Brown.
Janelle and Kody Brown’s 25-year-old son died on March 4 from a self-inflicted gunshot, rocking the reality TV world in general and this polygamous unit of young men and women in particular.
Earlier this week we got a glimpse photos from Garrison’s memorial service for the first time, witnessing his mother and several relatives crying over their loss.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Hunter Brown shared his first message since losing his brother Garrison to suicide.
The 27-year-old’s upload included several old photos of him and Garrison, along with an image that appeared to be from his younger brother’s funeral.
“When tomorrow starts without me…” Hunter began in his caption, using the opening line from David Romano’s 1993 poem “When Tomorrow Starts Without Me.”
You can check out the post below and keep scrolling to read Hunter’s caption:
“I don’t have any compliments to give or long captions for you to read. All I can say is that I love Garrison and he has always been and will always be a huge part of my life,” he wrote.
“I will forever work to make the most of every moment, big or small, with my loved ones. I would encourage you to do the same!”
Hunter ended his emotional statement with a quote from the film Gladiator:
“Now we are free… I will see you again, but not yet. Not yet.”
In recent days, Meri Brown and Christine Brown have also talked about Janelle’s sonwho they helped raise as part of their extended family.
According to TMZ, the Flagstaff Police Department responded to a report of a death on March 5, discovering Garrison dead in an apartment he shared with roommates. Foul play is not suspected.
The reality TV star was found by her 22-year-old brother Gabriel.
Also on Tuesday, half-brother Paedeon shared Hunter’s post on his official Instagram page.
Elsewhere, Ysabel Brown is now remembering her brother, publicly, for the first time.
In an Instagram Story posted the morning of March 26, Kody and Christine Brown’s 20-year-old daughter addressed the loss of her half brother.
One frame in this story featured a photo of Garrison, a toddler, holding her as a baby, with the older of the two smiling directly at the camera.
Another slide included a photo of Garrison as an adult looking up at the night sky while in the desert while Lord Huron’s song “Ends of the Earth” played in the background.
“I love you forever and will miss you forever,” Ysabel wrote.
Garrison enlisted in the Nevada National Guard in 2015 at age 17, graduating from basic training the following year.
“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Janelle and Kody shared via joint statement the day after Garrison’s suicide.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of everyone who knew him. Losing him will leave a hole in our lives so big it will take our breath away.
“We ask that you respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.”
