'Keep holding on': Internet says as 'Sister Wives' star Savannah Brown pays tribute to brother Garrison Brown with an emotional post
FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA: 'Sister Wives' personality Robert Garrison Brown passed away in what is believed to be a suicide at the age of 25. Garrison reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 5 in his apartment, where he had been living independently since moving away from his parents.
'Sister Wives' star Janelle Brown and Kody Brown's daughter Savanah Brown recently shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about the passing of her older brother. She expressed her emotions and the difficulties she's facing since the loss, saying,"Two weeks ago, on Tuesday March 5, my older brother Garrison took his own life. He was 25. I’m having a hard time understanding it. But I know now, more than anything, that my brother Garrison is no longer in any more pain. Every time I see a car that looks like his on the road, I briefly wonder if it’s him on his way home from work before I am reminded that he is gone. When I make PB&Js, I am reminded of him. When I look up at the night sky, he is there. I deeply hope that anyone who may be reading this never underestimates how big of a hole their loss would leave. Persevere, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your friends, for the sake of the ones who love you."
