On Monday, the police department in Flagstaff, Arizona, confirmed to PEOPLE that Janelle and Kody’s fourth-born together had died earlier that day in an apparent suicide. The FPD confirmed that they “responded to a report of a death inside a home” and Garrison’s brother Gabe, 22, had “discovered Mr. Brown deceased.”
Garrison’s parents shared ajoint statementon Tuesday on their respective social media accounts, which Janelle first posted onInstagram: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown.”
The statement continued, “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.”
TLC also shared a statement to PEOPLE following Garrison’s death: “We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown. We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time.”
In recent years, Garrison and Gabe had a strained relationship with their father, who their mother separated from in 2022. However, on the specialSister Wives Special: Look Back, Where We Started, which was released late last year, Janelle revealed that her ex did eventually “have somewhat of a relationship with Garrison” but that there was overall “no reconciliation.”
