Where Was Late ‘Sister Wives' Star Garrison Laid to Rest? Why the Family Chose Wyoming
Sister Wives stars Kody Brown and Janelle Brown's late son, Garrison, is brought to his final resting place on the May 18, 2025, episode. In Touch breaks down why the family chose Wyoming for their beloved child in the wake of his tragic death at 25 years old. 'Kody actually grew up in Wyoming. My mother was married to Kody's father. The Browns have deep roots in Wyoming,' Janelle said while discussing why they decided on a quiet spot in the state, which holds a special place in their hearts. 'Both Kody's dad and my mom are buried there and I want to bury Garrison next to my mom.' 'He was very much shaped by his experiences, you know, going for the summer, working there on the ranch,' Janelle further explained. Garrison's sister Madison Brush (née Brown) also shared her thoughts on the location and noted, 'Wyoming is probably the closest place we have to roots. It's home. We used to go every summer and it was just like, you went to the ranch to learn how to work.' Janelle added, 'You know, Kody would say, 'I just want to take him home. And I'm like 'OK, I get that. Like, I get that.'' ' "You can look out and you see the mountains surround this big basin," she shared of the cemetery. "The wind is usually blowing. It's just a beautiful view. It's a Wyoming view." The episode 25 breakdown reveals that Janelle and her loved ones gathered in Wyoming to honor Garrison and lay him to rest in the family plot next to his grandparents. 'Kody digs a grave for his son's ashes and the family says their goodbyes,' per the description. Janelle reflected on what felt like another regular day after moving from Flagstaff, Arizona, to North Carolina to be closer to Maddie, son-in-law Caleb Brush and their kids. 'I was traveling back to Flagstaff,' she said on the May 4 episode, noting she and Garrison had been 'texting all day long.' Janelle explained, 'And this was not unusual because he and I talked probably three times a day.' 'I knew he was struggling,' she said in hindsight. 'I always just picked up the phone and I always make it a point to just talk to him.' After going to sleep thinking everything was fine, she was awakened with a devastating call. 'Gabriel had found him,' Janelle said of Garrison, who died by suicide on March 5, 2024. 'He's like, 'Mom, he's gone.' I mean, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'He's dead. He killed himself.'' Janelle revealed that it was a shocking and unimaginable out of body experience. 'I don't remember the next few minutes,' the mom of six continued, 'but I got in the car and drove.' Garrison's official cause of death was determined as a suicide after an autopsy. 'It is with great sadness I confirm Mr. Robert Garrison Brown was located in his residence deceased, as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,' a spokesperson for the Flagstaff Police Department told In Touch in a statement. The Coconino County, Arizona's coroner's office released the report, which was obtained by In Touch in May 2024, showing that a contributing factor to his death was ethanol intoxication, more commonly known as alcohol poisoning. Garrison's blood alcohol level was .370 percent at the time of his death. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at

‘Sister Wives' star Madison Brush pays tribute to late brother with newborn's name
'Absolutely worth the wait,' Madison Brush wrote on Instagram on March 15, after announcing the birth of her newborn daughter. The 'Sister Wives' star and her husband, Caleb Brush, became parents of four on Friday, March 14. 'Miss Emilia Estelle Brush has finally made her grand entrance,' Madison Brush continued. The little girl joins her siblings, Axel, 7, Evie, 5, and Josephine, 2. In the comment section, a fan was quick to note that Emilia Estelle's name was likely an homage to Madison Brush's late brother, Garrison Brown. 'She's adorable, I love her name especially Estelle. Is it like a tribute to Garrison since Estelle means Star in Latin. Either way her and her name are adorable,' the fans asked the mom. 'That is exactly what it is,' Madison Brush replied. 'That's so beautiful,' other noted after learning the meaning behind Emilia Estelle's name. 'That's so lovely, congratulations to you and your family,' noted another fan. 'That's so special,' said one more. Brown died in March 2024. He was 25 years old. Madison Brush shared a tribute to Brown on March 5, nine days before Emilia's birth. 'A whole 365 days without you. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you, Garrison. In the quiet moments between the noise of life, I think of you often. I hope and pray you've found peace, rest, and the comfort that eluded you here. Until we meet again, little brother.' As Madison Brush continued in her birth announcement, she noted that her 'sweet girl took her time, keeping us all in suspense, but when she decided it was time—she didn't waste a second. Born on 3/14, she arrived absolutely perfect.' 'We are completely smitten with our newest little love,' she concluded her note. In another special family connection, Emilia also shares a birthday with her aunt, Madison Brown's sister, Aspyn Thompson.
