Sister Wives star Janelle Brown's son Garrison has died aged just 25

Garrison Brown, son of Janelle Brown from TLC's hit reality show Sister Wives, has died aged just 25.

His family have confirmed the tragic news in a statement posted on Janelle's Instagram account.

It reads: "Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown.

"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.

"We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory."

His father Kody also shared a statement on his Instagram page.

Police confirmed to PEOPLE that Garrison was "discovered deceased" inside his home by his brother Gabriel, 22. Flagstaff Police Department stated to the outlet: "On 03/05/2024 Flagstaff Police officers responded to a report of a death inside a home.

"At this time there is not any indication of foul play, and detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division are investigating."

TLC, the network who aired Sister Wives, where Garrison and his family came to fame, also issued a statement on the tragic event: "We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown.

"We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time."

Garrison has appeared on the reality show since it first aired in 2010, aged just 12 years old. The series follows his dad Kody's polygamous lifestyle and family, with Janelle being one of his wives before they separated and subsequently got divorced over the last couple of years.

Garrison was one of six children, the others being Madison, Logan, Gabriel, Hunter and Savanah. Kody and Janelle had initially 'spiritually married' in 1993.

Garrison's relationship with his father sadly became strained in recent years, with Kody admitting in a May 2023 episode that a rift had formed between them: "I haven't been in touch with Gabriel and Garrison for quite a while," he shared at the time.

"I'm pretty sad that I'm not close [to them] anymore. There was just so many things in our lives that we did that were rich together, you know, just special experiences."

He went on to state: "I think and hope that in time we'll just get over this and that we'll be safe being back around each other.

"Right now, there's not really an open door with Gabe and Garrison. They're they're not willing to engage me."

The 25-year-old enlisted in the Nevada Army National Guard in 2015 after initially wanting to join the Army, settling for the national guard as a compromise with his parents. He graduated from basic training in 2016.

He subsequently opened his own online clothing store in 2019 called Bob's Floral, which sold Hawaiian floral shirts.
