Family Remembers Garrison Brown in Touching Funeral Service
This past week, fans of Sister Wives were given a heartfelt glimpse into the private funeral of Garrison Brown, who sadly passed away in March 2025 at the young age of 25. His service took place at Penrose Cemetery in Wyoming, a location the Brown family holds dear.
To honor the family’s privacy, cameras were kept at a distance during the burial. Garrison’s mother, Janelle Brown, expressed her overwhelming sense of numbness during this tragic time. “It’s just one of those moments that leave you wondering how it came to this. It’s truly heartbreaking,” shared Meri Brown, adding to the emotional weight of the occasion.
Garrison’s father, Kody Brown, acknowledged the complexities within the family, noting that lingering awkwardness would follow them into the event. A touching tribute came from Mitch Thompson, Christine Brown’s husband, who crafted a Viking ship-shaped urn, reflecting Garrison’s fascination with Norse culture.
Kody’s brother-in-law, Tim, led the service with a mix of humor and somber reflection, recalling Garrison’s dreams of starting a business centered around Hawaiian shirts. Attendees laughed at Tim’s amusing opening remarks, which set a lighthearted tone. He reminded everyone that despite the sadness, Garrison’s spirit would live on through the joy and laughter they once shared.
Tim encouraged guests to stand barefoot on the grass, creating a unique connection with the earth during the service. “I have faith that we will be reunited with our loved ones and rejoice together,” he said, emphasizing hope and resilience.
As Garrison’s urn was lowered into the ground, both Janelle and Kody participated in this poignant moment, highlighting a sense of connection as they honored their son. Kody shared a recent dream where he felt Garrison’s presence, bringing some comfort amidst the grief.
Family members took time to place personal items in the grave, each contributing their own memories and tokens of love. Hunter Brown, Garrison’s brother, spoke of their lifelong bond, acknowledging him as not just a sibling but also his best friend.
As the family reflected on Garrison’s life and legacy, Janelle expressed a sense of completion. “It’s finished. This part of the journey is finished,” she told viewers, capturing the bittersweet relief of closure.
Garrison’s untimely death serves as a reminder of the profound challenges many face today. Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
