Who was Garrison Brown — an actor and a National Guard Member
Garrison Brown was but a child when he made his TV debut alongside his family in TLC’s reality show, Sister Wives, which aired for 18 seasons and focused on Kody Brown and his four wives and their 18 children. Kody and Janelle Brown shared six children. The couple announced their separation in 2022 and this is said to have taken a toll on their children, mostly on Garrison, as confirmed by Janelle herself.
In an interview, the Sister Wives star said, “I have worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he's also the kid who doesn't say anything…Garrison just seems angry or sadder, like, he's not as happy-go-lucky as he used to be.”
In an episode airing in May 2023, Kody too addressed the family issues that had culminated after his separation from Janelle. “I haven't been in touch with Gabriel and Garrison for quite a while,” he said at that time. “I’m upset that I’m no longer close to them. There were so many beautiful experiences in our life that we shared.”
The Brown family patriarch added, “I suppose and hope that in time, we’ll just get over it and feel safe being around each other again. Gabe and Garrison currently do not have a clear path forward. They aren't eager to engage me.”
Nonetheless, the stress of his parents' separation did not stop Garrison from pursuing his other dream of enlisting in the armed services. While the actor wanted to join the army, he settled with signing up for the National Guard.
Garrison Brown is survived by his parents and his many siblings and half-siblings.
