The son of Janelle and her ex-husband, Kody Brown, died on March 5 at his Arizona home. He was 25.
Garrison was pronounced dead at the scene from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound hours after his brother Gabriel Brown reportedly recovered his body.
That same day, Janelle and Kody, 55, confirmed their son’s death in a heartbreaking tribute posted to Instagram.
“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” they wrote.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away.”
Garrison was laid to rest on March 9.
Janelle and Kody revealed they were separating in December 2022 decades after they wed in 1993. Aside from Garrison, they share five other children together.
Kody also has an additional 13 other children with Christine Brown, Meri Brown and Robyn Brown. He is currently only wed to Robyn Brown.
