Sister Wives' Janelle Brown Speaks Out After Son's Garrison Death

Janelle Brown is taking solace in family memories.

Days after sharing her son Garrison Brown's death, the Sister Wives star recalled her last holiday gathering with all of her and ex Kody Brown's six children, and shared a pic from a family photo shoot.

"I had all my children together last Christmas," Janelle captioned her March 8 Instagram post. "It was amazing as it's hard with everyone's busy lives to coordinate time like this. I am extremely grateful now that we had pictures taken."

In the photo, Janelle and Garrison are seen posing in a yard alongside his siblings Logan, 29, Madison, 28, Hunter, 27, Gabriel, 22,  and Savanah, 19, as well as Madison's husband Caleb Brush and their own children Axel, 6, Evangalynn, 4, and Josephine, 13 months, and Logan's wife Michelle.

Garrison, 25, died March 5 at his home in Arizona. The cause of his death was not revealed. Following the news, Janelle and Kody paid tribute to their late son.

"He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him," Janelle wrote on her Instagram March 5. "His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

Meri Brown and Christine Brown, Kody's other exes—whose children with him grew up with Janelle's—have also shared memories of Garrison.

"Garrison was a wonderful, caring brother who understood Truely's need for a hobby and built her a flowerbed," Christine wrote on Instagram March 7, alongside a throwback video of Garrison and her daughter working on the project. "We'll miss him forever."
