Janelle took to Instagram Tuesday afternoon to announce the tragic news on behalf of the family.

‘Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,’ Janelle said. ‘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. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.’

Garrison had past been seen on episodes of the TLC series Sister Wives since its debut in 2010, chronicling the life of a polygamous family living in Utah.

Garrison moved with his family from Utah to Nevada, and he eventually enlisted in the National Guard, according to the outlet. 

He and his father Kody had been estranged for some time in recent years: In February of 2022, Kody said on the series that he and sons Garrison and Gabriel were ‘not good’ and ‘not talking’ as they clashed with him over what they felt to be onerous protocols he implemented amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Kody said of his sons on the show: ‘It’s changed everything for everybody, and they want it all to be the same.

‘They need to realize that they should go and date that girlfriend, that’s fine, but you need to move out of the house so I can be home.’
