Janelle Brown shared a new tribute to her son.
A few days later Garrison Brown Funeral — which took place on March 9 and featured members of the Sister Wives family remembering the late 25-year-old — Janelle uploaded two new images of Garrison to Instagram.
These photos included several of her son’s cats, along with photos from the websites of High Country Humane and the Ark Cat Sanctuary in Flagstaff, Arizona.

“I was brought to tears again. I’m being informed of everyone’s donations to @highcountryhumane @arkcatsancutary in Garrison’s name,” Janelle wrote in the caption of her post on Tuesday.
“Thank you for all your generosity. It means a lot. The cats he adopted from both agencies were very important to him.
“He loved being a cat dad.”
As confirmed by local authorities in Flagstaff, Garrison’s body was discovered on March 5 by his brother (after Garrison sent a worrying text message to friends) inside his Arizona home.
Police said Garrison died in an “apparent suicide.”
Janelle and Garrison’s father, Kody Brown, broke this terrible news in a joint statement that said the following last week:
“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 everyone who knew him.
“His loss 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.”

Shortly after, Janelle shared a second post on social media in honor of her son.
The mother of six recalled her last holiday gathering with all of her and Kody’s children, releasing a photo from a family photo shoot to the world.
“I had all my kids together last Christmas,” Janelle captioned her Instagram on March 8 publish.
“It was incredible, as it is difficult, with everyone’s busy lives, to coordinate moments like this.
“I’m extremely grateful now that we took photos.”

Other members of the Sister Wives family also spoke out on several occasions in recent moving days.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, for example, Christine Brown remembered Garrison sharing their own family photos and writing:
“Every photo with Garrison is now infinitely more important than ever.
“I’m fighting for just one more glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son… #alwaysbemissed #missyou #notenough.”

Many observers have sadly noted that Kody has yet to issue a statement of his own.
As previously documented on Sister Wives, he and Garrison largely stopped speaking more than two years ago due to Kody’s strict COVID-19 rules and regulations.
In a confessional in 2022, Janelle expressed serious concern about his son’s lack of connection with his father as a result of these protocols, which prevented Kody’s children from seeing their friends or significant others.
“I have been worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything,” Janelle said at the time.
She later added that Garrison “just seems angry or more sad, like, he’s not as carefree as he used to be.”
Looking to the future, we were told that Sister Wives Season 19 will largely focus on this terrible tragedy.
