“On behalf of everyone in the US who loved him and his sweet momma, we thank you. All of us are heartbroken with her,” wrote one fan.

A third fan noted, “This is a beautiful tribute. I wish there were enough words to say to give them comfort. I am just so sorry for their devastating loss.”

The Nevada National Guard memorialized Garrison Brown with a thoughtful Facebook post about his life and service in the United States military. This statement accompanied the series of 14 images.

It read, “Soldiers from the 1st Squadron, 221st Cavalry, along with friends and family, gathered yesterday at the Clark County Armory to honor the memory of Staff Sgt. Robert Garrison Brown, who passed away on March 4th. Brown, a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, was born to Janelle and Kody Brown and was the sixth child of a large family.”

“He is survived by his family and three cats, Catthew, Patches, and Ms. Buttons. Preceding him were Sheryl Lee Brown, William Winn Brown, and Curtis Taylor Brown. Known for his adventurous spirit, Brown traveled extensively, exploring multiple countries and continents.”

“As a Staff Sergeant in the Army National Guard and a proud CAV Scout, Brown exemplified dedication to his country. He also had a caring nature, pursuing a career in nursing to help others.”

The statement concludes, “Brown’s friends and family remember him for his sense of humor and ability to connect with others. His passing has left a void in their hearts. His memory serves as a reminder to cherish loved ones and prioritize compassion.”

The Nevada National Guard closed out their passage by sharing phone numbers where those in need could find support. They cited the state psychological health manager/therapist, the state Chaplain’s office, and the suicide and crisis hotline.
