Kody Brown Breaks Down Over Son Garrison’s Tragic Death: ‘I’m Still Haunted By Regret’
On Sunday’s episode of Sister Wives, there was a touching segment where the family discussed the passing of Garrison Brown, the son of Kody and Janelle Brown.
On March 5, 2024, Garrison, aged 25, ended his life in his residence in Flagstaff, Arizona; the authorities reported that it was due to a gunshot wound inflicted by himself.
Janelle said that she had been in touch with her son all day long prior to his tragic death.
She mentioned that this situation was common between us, as we typically spoke around three times daily. It was clear to me that he was going through hard times. I would simply call him, and I always prioritized having conversations with him. There wasn’t any specific topic on the agenda.
As a fervent admirer, I can’t help but reflect on our conversations, and it strikes me that perhaps he craved a sense of connection. What’s more, I’m convinced that he wasn’t just talking to me, but also catching up with his brothers over calls and such.
In March 2024, Flagstaff police informed TMZ that it appeared Garrison had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound following an incident at his residence where someone was reported to have passed away. His brother Gabriel discovered Garrison’s body in the house, according to authorities who spoke with the outlet.

Janelle took to Instagram the day of to announce the tragic news on behalf of the family.
Janelle shared that she and Kody are heartbroken to share the tragic news about their beloved Robert Garrison Brown. He brought joy to everyone who crossed his path.
‘The void left by his departure is immense, almost overwhelming. We kindly request that you grant us some solitude during this time, and together, let’s remember him fondly.’
In a statement shared with People, TLC expressed their deep sorrow, saying, ‘We’re deeply saddened to learn about the heartbreaking demise of Garrison Brown.’
‘Our sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathy are extended to the Brown family during these challenging moments.’

In the days leading up to my passing, I shared a heartfelt moment on social media, standing beside a new feline companion who became the third cat I’d adopted over time.
Garrison introduced a new member to his household, who he named Ms. Buttons. She is nine years old and was at risk of being put down, but Garrison couldn’t ignore his urge to save her, despite being aware of the label as a ‘crazy cat lady.’ #catrescue


Apart from that, he likewise shared accounts of his journeys on his social media platform, posting about visits to places like Spain and Italy.
Previously, Kody separated from Christine Brown in 2021, and subsequently divorced Meri in 2022. Currently, he is still wedded to Robyn Brown.
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I made the exciting transition of relocating my family from Utah to Nevada, and over time, I found myself eagerly joining the ranks of the National Guard, as reported by the media outlet.
For a while now, father and son Kody had been distanced from each other in recent years: In February of 2022, Kody mentioned during the series that he and sons Garrison and Gabriel weren’t getting along well and weren’t communicating due to disagreements over strict measures he enforced during the coronavirus pandemic.
Kody expressed on the program that the situation has altered everything for everyone involved, and they seem to desire sameness in every aspect. However, they ought to understand that if they wish to date their girlfriends, it’s acceptable, but they must leave the house so he can have his own space at home.
In a segment from the TLC series focusing on family strife, Janelle expressed her feelings about Garrison during a private interview, stating he often appears to be more upset or melancholic.
She mentioned that his carefree nature seems to have faded during the family disagreements about pandemic safety measures, implying he’s not as cheerful as before.



I expressed concern, “Indeed, I’ve been concerned about the psychological well-being of my sons. Gabriel, in particular, carries his emotions intensely, yet paradoxically, he tends to remain silent.
In the midst of differing views on the pandemic, Garrison made a change by leaving his parent’s house and ultimately found himself living in Arizona as of 2021.
During the 18th season of the show in 2022, Gabriel expressed that discussing COVID-19 safety measures with his father led to an impasse, causing significant tension within their home.
Gabriel stated, ‘There were no spoken words, but I believe it was this very silence that caused the rift between us.’
In the May 2023 episode of the show, Kody expressed his distress over certain matters concerning his sons.
As for my connection with Gabriel and Garrison, it’s been a while since we last kept in touch, and I must admit, I miss the closeness we once shared.
He mentioned that our lives were filled with countless moments that we shared that were enriching and unique, or simply put, extraordinary experiences.
Kody said that he thought and hoped that they could ‘get over this’ in time.


As of now, it seems like Gabe and Garrison aren’t inviting me in for a chat, or at least, they haven’t shown any interest in engaging with me.
As recently as last autumn, it seemed that Kody’s relationship with his sons had soured, but in an interview with E! News in November 2023, Janelle expressed optimism that they might mend their bond in the future.
She expressed her hope that with the passage of time, he will be able to rebuild a connection with the children he is currently estranged from.
