According to TMZ, the Flagstaff Police Department responded to a report of a death, finding Garrison dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected. According to the FPD, Garrison was found by his brother Gabriel.
His most recent Instagram post, dated February 28, introduced the newest addition to his family, a cat he named Ms. Buttons. “She’s 9 years old and was on the euthanasia but my savior complex couldn’t suffice,” Garrison captioned a pic of him with the cat.
Garrison enlisted with the Nevada National Guard in 2015 at 17 years old, graduating from basic training the following year. He’d wanted to join the Army, but Kody urged him to complete school first. During the pandemic, Garrison moved into his own home.

When we watch a show alone we process it alone too.
Grief can exist from a distance.
And those of us who have lost someone to suicide it’s all raw.
Love to everyone affected by Garrison’s suicide.
And endless love to the Brown family

I’ll never forget when Garrison came home from the National Guard, and the embrace he and Janelle shared. Their bond & love for one another was so evident. My heart hurts so much tonight. She’s living every mother’s worst nightmare. May God surround her with love.??#sisterwives

My deep deep sympathy to Janelle, Logan, Maddie, Hunter, Gabriel, Savannah and all the family of Garrison Brown. He was a decent, hard working guy who loved his family deeply. That was always apparent on tv. #sisterwives
