Remembering “Sister Wives”
“Sister Wives” was a reality show that premiered on September 26, 2010, on TLC.
The show followed the life of Kody Brown, a fundamentalist Mormon, and his wives Robyn, Meri, Janelle, and Christine, along with their combined 18 children.
Garrison was only 11 years old when the show made its debut.
Saying Goodbye to Garrison
A week ago, family members shared the news of his passing, and now Garrison’s loved ones have confirmed his peaceful rest.
Garrison’s cousin, Emma Brown, posted to Instagram on March 9:
“Dear Robert, I had to dress up for your funeral today and this is everything I wish you could’ve heard before I had to say goodbye. We love you. I don’t even own a picture of you without your contagious smile. I don’t know if I have the right words to say I’ll miss you. I wish I was able to give you a hug and tell you how much you were loved.
She concluded her tribute, writing, “You were a son, a brother, a soldier, and a friend. If there is a God, I hope he’s giving you peace. I love you, Robert.”

Mykelti Padron, Garrison’s sister and daughter of Kody Brown and his ex Christine Brown from Sister Wives, offered additional details about the funeral held in Flagstaff, Arizona, Garrison’s hometown.
“I’ve got to see all of my family together for the first time in years,” she expressed in a video shared on Patreon and later reshared on Instagram. “And I think that ultimately, obviously, Garrison would have been happy by that.”
She mentioned that the family had some additional plans to honor Garrison in the coming months. They intend to pay tribute to him at a “Brown family reunion in Wyoming.”
