On March 6th, The U.S. Sun updated its report on the tragic passing of 25-year-old Garrison Brown and his mother, Janelle Brown’s “angry and numb” reaction to the devastating news.
An exclusive source told the Sun about Janelle’s current “state of mind.” The source claimed, “I’ve never heard her so angry and numb.” They added that Janelle has clearly not processed what happened, insisting that Janelle “doesn’t even know which end’s up.”
The source provided insight into Janelle’s personality, sharing that she’s not known to be “a crier or an emotional person.” But they revealed that Janelle is “very angry right now,” and they revealed another shocking detail about how Janelle allegedly feels.
Janelle Brown Is Reportedly Questioning Herself
Although the source claimed it “takes a lot to get her to break,” they believe Janelle is now questioning her life and parenting. Shockingly, they think Janelle is asking herself, “What the heck happened? What did I do wrong?”
Janelle has spoken out herself, posting a sad message on Instagram that included two photos of Garrison. In one photo, Garrison appears in a military uniform. The second photo is more informal, showing Garrison with a big smile and wearing a backpack as he travels somewhere.
Janelle expressed the deep sadness she and Garrison’s father, Kody Brown, felt in having “to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown.”
It was heartwrenching to read Jenelle’s description of Garrison: “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.”
She also asked for compassion from the public, writing, “We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.” Kody also shared Janelle’s message and photos of Garrison on his Instagram.
Janelle and Kody have six children together, including Garrison. Their other sons are Logan, Hunter, and Gabriel; their daughters are Madison and Savanah.

The Sun’s source revealed, “This family is extremely broken and tortured, and it’s very painful for many of them.” The source also claimed that Robyn, Kody’s fourth wife, is “the one who’s actually really upset about it,” adding that Robyn is “really devastated.”
Garrison’s Death Is a Tragedy for the Entire Brown Family
The Sun received confirmation that Garrison was living in Arizona when he passed away, and they also contacted the Flagstaff Police Department in Arizona for an official statement on March 5th, when the incident occurred.
The statement by the Flagstaff Police representative said, in part, “It is with great sadness I confirm Mr. Robert Garrison Brown was located in his residence deceased.” They also confirmed that Garrison passed away using a weapon, and his wound was self-inflicted.
Shockingly, Flagstaff Police confirmed that Garrison’s brother had discovered him inside his home. The statement identified the sibling as Gabe, presumably Gabriel’s nickname.
While no source has come forward to blame Janelle or Kody for Garrison’s passing, The Sun did report that Kody and Garrison were allegedly “feuding” before he left home and moved to Flagstaff.
The Sun claimed that Garrison had “a difficult relationship with his dad,” and they even alleged that Garrison “was not on speaking terms with his father” after he moved away in 2021.
Kody and Garrison’s estrangement allegedly began during Thanksgiving 2021, and the Sun reported that Kody restricted the family’s Thanksgiving celebrations due to COVID-19.
An episode of Sister Wives showed Kody telling Janelle that she should spend Thanksgiving alone because he believed their sons had seen “too many people and would put everyone else’s health in jeopardy.”
This caused a fight between Kody and Janelle that was shown on air, and shockingly, Janelle swore at Kody after telling him she didn’t want to be alone and stormed off.
Janelle Picked Her Kids Over Kody
In a confessional on the show, Kody said that Garrison needed to get his life together and he should move out. Kody claimed, “I tolerated a lot for a very long time until I realized that I was being lied to or deceived.”
He added, “I sort of lost my patience with it; I’m like, you just need to make the boys move out,” and he later said, “I’m gonna have Gabriel and Garrison move out of the house. You’ve got a good car, you go get a job, here’s some cash. Bye.”
But Janelle had a different perspective, and in a confessional, she stated, “This is a different day and age. You don’t just kick your kids out of the house at 18 and say, ‘Hope you do good, I’m done. I’m tired.’”
The Brown family’s strained relationship peaked near the end of 2022 when Kody called Garrison out on X and alleged that Garrison had a “narcissistic attitude.”

Sadly, Kody would later reveal that Garrison told him, “This is your fault. I’m never going to be around you again,” and even more sad, Janelle defended Garrison and alleged that he said, “I don’t like how my mom is being treated in this house; how we’re being treated in this house.”
In 2022, the Sun reported that Kody and Janelle’s “parenting battles” were finally over, and they broke up for good after 29 years of “spiritual marriage.”
