PAYING TRIBUTE Sister Wives star Garrison Brown’s family plan to ‘keep his legacy alive’ through Hawaiian clothing company after death
SISTER Wives star Garrison Brown’s family plans to keep his legacy alive through his Hawaiian T-shirt company, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
Kody Brown and Janelle Brown’s son, Garrison, died by suicide at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, one month ago.
His death at 25 years old was ruled as a suicide by the Flagstaff Police Department, The U.S. Sun reported.
The National Guard vet previously struggled with depression and had an alcohol addiction, his roommates claimed in the police report obtained by The U.S. Sun.
It is unclear when things took a turn for the worse, but it is known that he was an entrepreneur who launched a Hawaiian-style clothing business, Bob’s Floral, in 2020, with help from his brother Gabe.
A few months after launching, Garrison, whose birth name is Robert Garrison Brown, wrote on the brand’s Instagram page, “Bobs Floral will be temporarily on pause.
“My reopening plan is BIG but needs time to be executed. I wish for Bobs Floral products to be made domestically and with care and passion for those who seek an easy going lifestyle.”
He concluded, “Until then we hope you continue to follow and support the page. Thank you all so much!”
Now, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that Bob’s Floral LLC is still active and is in good standing.
In addition, a source has revealed that his family plans on “carrying on” his plans with the clothing company.
“He was definitely planning on working on his clothing, but before his death, he wasn’t really doing much of anything, truthfully,” a source, who is close to the Sister Wives family, shared with The U. S. Sun.
“He was depressed and was unhappy, and he didn’t feel like he was getting much success from anything.”
The source went on to say that there “wasn’t really any announcements of any plans coming,” referring to a relaunch.
“But now, oddly enough, there’s conversations within the family about how they’re going to try to keep his legacy alive.”
“They plan on carrying on some of his dreams, which can be done by his brothers,” they continued.
The source also said that the family is “working on creating a foundation for him,” which might be geared towards saving animals since that was something close to his heart.
“They’re going to turn what happened into a positive,” the source added.
Aside from Garrison and Gabe, Janelle shares four other kids with ex Kody: Logan, Maddie, Hunter and Savanah.
UNEXPECTED FAMILY REUNION
The TLC family reunited on March 24 at the Clark County Armory in Las Vegas, Nevada, to honor the memory of Garrison, who was formerly a Staff Sergeant in the Army National Guard.
In photos released to the public, the Utah native’s family, including Kody, Robyn, and Christine, were seated next to each other as they paid their respects.
Some family members, including Hunter, Robyn, Christine and Leon, opted to wear Hawaiian patterns to honor their late relative, which a source told The U.S. Sun was a “sentimental thing between the kids.”
Kody, who had a tumultuous relationship with Garrison for years, chose to wear a pink dress shirt and blue blazer with jeans instead of a floral print outfit like his last-standing wife Robyn.
A source told The U.S. Sun that the reason behind his attire choice is because he “was in mourning.”
“Kody didn’t feel like parading around in colorful wardrobe,” the source revealed.
‘NEVER MADE UP’
Sister Wives fans were aware that Garrison and his dad had an estranged relationship ever since the pandemic.
The U.S. Sun reported that they were “still estranged” and “never made up” before his death.
A source shared, “I don’t think they had even spoken since Covid times.
“Honestly, I can’t even remember the last time they saw each other.”
“I know for a fact there was no buddy/buddy hangout or friendship,” the source continued.
Despite Garrison and Kody’s estrangement, Kody posted on Instagram the day the shocking news broke.
“Janelle and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Kody captioned two past photos of Garrison.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. Our loss will leave such a big hole in our lives, that it takes our breath away.”
Janelle shared the same photos and message on her account.
The aftermath of Garrison’s tragic death will reportedly play out in Season 19 of Sister Wives.
