What did Garrison Brown do? A Memoir of Life
On April 10, Janelle Brown, 55, posted a touching Instagram dedication to her son Garrison’s 27th birthday, which would have been today.
The post showed real moments of Garrison stargazing with his family, laughing at a county fair, and cuddling his rescue cats.
They showed a young man who was full of life before he tragically killed himself on March 5, 2024.
Janelle wrote, “Grief is so strange.” “You seem so alive in the millions of photos I have.”
How did his family and friends honor him?
Many people shared Janelle’s reel from the fair and said, “It shows who you were so well.” Many other people also paid respect.
Merrill Beck put up pictures of Garrison hiking in the woods.
Sister Wives star Garrison also urged people to support animal shelters, a cause he holds dear, as he adopted all three of his cats from rescues.
Was it because of missing warning signs?
To PEOPLE in September 2024, Janelle said that her family “had no idea he was in that place.”
His positive attitude, job plans, and close friendships may have made his problems harder to see. “He didn’t show a deep feeling of sadness,” she thought.
