Janelle Brown honors late son Garrison on 27th Birth Anniversary; says, “You seen so alive”

Sister Wives reality show star Janelle Brown celebrated a bittersweet milestone this week, honoring her late son Garrison Brown on what would have been his 27th birthday.
In an emotional Instagram post posted on April 10, the 55-year-old reality television star honored Garrison with a montage of precious moments — photos of their time spent together at the county fair, gazing through a telescope, and a touching clip of the mother-son pair playing with one of Garrison's favorite cats.
"What a strange day. You look so alive in all the millions of photos I possess. Sometimes I forget that I won't be seeing you anymore — and then — I recall. Grief is so bizarre," wrote Janelle.
She went on, "I've enjoyed all the remembrances of you shared by friends and family. And I needed to re-share the reel at the county fair because it reminds me so clearly of who you were. Until we meet again, sweetheart."
Garrison Brown sadly died by suicide on March 5, 2024, at the age of 25. It was a devastating blow to the Sister Wives family and it elicited an outpouring of love and support from fans around the world.
More intimate moments were shared in another joint post with Merrill Beck — including photos of Garrison spending time in the woods, a place that seemed to bring him peace.
Janelle shares Garrison with her ex-husband, Kody Brown. The former couple also have Logan, 30, Madison, 29, Hunter, 28, Gabriel, 23, and Savanah, 20.
Only last month, in celebration of the first anniversary of Garrison's death, Janelle employed her platform to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health. She posted the number for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and encouraged supporters to donate to a cause particularly near and dear to Garrison's heart — local animal shelters.
"He adopted all three of his cats from shelters," she observed. "Garrison held this cause close to his heart."
As she herself continues to navigate life after loss, Janelle's tribute remains a heartrending reminder of the love, laughter, and light Garrison brought to those around him — and the value of holding hands through grief, remembrance, and activism.
