Janelle Brown is revealing exactly how she’s feeling after the tragic passing of her son, Garrison, last week. After Garrison suddenly and tragically passed away last week, fans of Sister Wives and members of the TLC Sister Wives subreddit community began donating to two animal shelters in which he was heavily involved.
Garrison had three cats, Catthew, Patches, and Ms. Buttons. He adopted them from two different animal shelters in the Flagstaff area. He adopted one of them just days before his unfortunate passing.
One of the shelters, High Country Humane, shared a tribute post to him, writing: “Today, we remember and celebrate the life of Garrison, a friend and an extraordinary cat lover, whose kindness touched the lives of all who knew him, both two and four-legged. Garrison’s unwavering love for cats was a heartfelt passion.”
They even went on to explain just how many donations they had received in his memory, saying: “It has been heartwarming to see the donations in his name that continue to pour in. Donations are totaled at nearly 13k and growing thanks to your support. With your generosity, we will be able to feed and care for the over 150 homeless animals we currently have at the shelter.”
Lastly, they explained that they were renaming the cat adoption room in honor of Garrison and his three cats. They’ll also be sponsoring all cat adoptions for March in his memory. While this has happened over the last week, it seems Janelle was just made aware of the donations more recently.
Garrison’s Cats Are Living With His Siblings
She shared two posts about just how much it meant to her, with the first saying: “I have been brought to tears again. I’m being told about everyone’s donations to @highcountryhumane @arkcatsanctuary in Garrison’s name. Thank you all for your generosity. It means so much. The cats he adopted from both agencies were so important to him. He loved being a cat dad.”
She later clarified in the comments that all three cats were readjusting in the homes of his siblings. Janelle didn’t say which of his siblings had adopted them.
She also shared the High Country Humane post later on. On her Instagram story, she shared that she had been moved to tears upon finding out how the Sister Wives fan community had come together to donate to causes that were so important to him.
Garriosn’s Family Has Continued to Honor His Memory
She’s not the only member of the family who is continuing to speak out about Garrison, though. Kody Brown has not said anything publicly beyond his initial statement with Janelle. Both Christine and Meri have said more in the recent days since his passing.
Christine Brown shared a video featuring childhood pictures of Garrison as well as a family picture from Gwen’s wedding with the caption: “Every photo with Garrison in it is now infinitely more important than ever before. I am scrambling for just another glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son…#alwaysbemissed #missyou #notenough”
Meri posted a photo of her mom on what would’ve been her birthday. She explained how she was a grandma to all the Brown kids, including Garrison.
She wrote: “She loved every one of her grandkids, no matter how they came into her family. They were all hers, and all of our kids lovingly called her ‘Grandma’. I have a little more comfort this week knowing that she was likely on Garrison’s welcoming committee, smiling that perfect smile at him and holding his sweet face in her loving hands.”
The entire Brown family is continuing to struggle to come to terms with this devastating loss. This is especially true for the three women who raised him: Janelle, Christine, and Meri. Even so, they all seem to find comfort in his positive impact on both animal shelters after his passing.
