Several Relatives Have Been Paying Tribute to Garrison Brown

Garrison Brown, the son of Sister Wives star Janelle Brown, sadly passed away. One of Kody Brown's eighteen children, Garrison lived in Flagstaff with his sister, Gwendlyn Brown, and brother, Gabe Brown. Throughout his childhood, Garrison has made appearances on Sister Wives. Most recently, he spoke candidly about his broken connection with his father, Kody, during the COVID-19 pandemic in episodes of the show's last season. When he made his television debut in 2010 with his family during Sister Wives' first season, he was only 12 years old. Close relatives have been honoring Garrison since his passing; postings from Meri Brown, Christine Brown, Mykelti Brown, and Maddie Brown stand out among the others.

1. The Donations From Fans in Honor of Garrison

Before his passing, Garrison's greatest interest was his commitment to providing care for cats and other animals. But after his passing, several Sister Wives fans have sent donations to the animal shelters Ark Cats Sanctuary and High Country Humane, which Garrison was involved with before he passed away. Janelle expressed her sincere gratitude on her Instagram page for the kindness: "It is heartwarming to see the donations in his name that continue to pour in. Donations are totaled at nearly 13k and growing thanks to your support."

3. Mykelti Brown Honored Garrison With Such Grace

Mykelti, Garrison's sister, honored her late brother on her Instagram page.

It is the Norse legendary paradise where warriors who die in battle are greeted, where they are drinking and battling with the mythological god of war and death, Odin. She wrote in her caption, "I hope he is loving his place amongst the stars. Garrison was always the funniest person in the room. He was one cool dude and I cry so much because my kids will never be able to experience his fun presence. But he will live on in all my families memories."

4. Garrison, Janelle Brown's kid, Rescued Animals

Garrison’s unwavering love for cats was a heartfelt passion." In memory of Garrison, High Country Humane announced that it would be renaming their cat adoption room after Garrison and his three favorite cats, Mrs. Buttons, Patches, and Cathew. Since his death, people have been making donations to the shelter in his honor.

Keep an eye on our boy up there, Mom! And give him a hug for me!"
