Janelle Brown: The Year That Changed Garrison.
On *Sister Wives*, Janelle Brown and her family are sharing their experiences surrounding the tragic and unexpected passing of her son, Garrison Brown.
In the May 4 episode on TLC, several members of the Brown family reflected on the moment they learned that Garrison was “gone.” Janelle recalled texting Garrison “all day long” before the devastating events of March 5, 2024.
“This was not unusual because he and I talked probably three times a day,” Janelle, 55, shared with the cameras.
“I knew he was struggling. I always just picked up the phone and I always make it a point to just talk to him. And it wasn’t really about anything,” she continued. “I think he needed the connection, and I know he was talking to [and] calling his brothers and stuff too.”
Janelle remembered going to bed around 8:30 p.m. the night before and noticing that Garrison “kind of stopped texting me.”
“I knew he’d been drinking again. He would go through periods where he was really good, and then he just would have a binge, just as part of the cycle, I think,” she explained. “So I called [my sons] Logan and Hunter. I texted them … because we’ve tag-teamed. I said, ‘Will you guys see if Garrison will respond to you?’ They said, ‘Mom, we’re on it. We’ll just kind of check on him and make sure he’s OK.'”
“So, I went to sleep and Gabriel called me and he’s like, ‘Mom, he’s gone.’ And I’m like, ‘What?'” she added, recalling the heartbreaking moment.
It was confirmed on March 5, 2024, that Garrison had passed away at the age of 25. Authorities confirmed that officers responded to a death report at a home and “discovered Mr. Brown deceased.”
Janelle noted that Garrison “really struggled with alcohol” prior to his death.
“I don’t know what happened. He was never a drinking kid. He didn’t like it, didn’t like the taste of it,” she explained. “He started to drink during COVID. Something happened in this last year, and it really just got him.”
Janelle also mentioned that her family “had offered him all the love, all the support, all the help, all the resources” they could provide.
“I don’t know what happened that night he did that because he’s had other nights like this where he would drink and then pass out, and he would go kind of radio silent, but he’d be back in the morning,” she continued. “I don’t know. I don’t know what happened this time.”
*Sister Wives* airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on TLC. Stay tuned for more updates from Eternal Pen.
