'Sister Wives' Janelle Brown Reminisces About Late Son Being A 'Cat Dad'

Tears are still pouring out of Janelle Brown's eyes following the death of her son.

It has been over a week since Garrison Brown, the "Sister Wives" star's fourth child, passed away from an apparent suicide on March 5. Three days after his low-key funeral, his mother was "brought to tears" by the outpouring of support in his name.

In a recent post, Janelle expressed her emotions after learning that fans have been paying tribute to the animal shelters her son loved. 

She shared the fantastic news on Instagram, dropping two pictures of Garrison and his cats alongside images from the animal agencies' websites — High Country Humane and Ark Cat Sanctuary.

It is unclear how many cats the late Brown member raised during his life; however, three cats were seen in the first picture, and he posed with a large gray cat in another snap.

"I have been brought to tears again. I'm being told about everyone's donations to @highcountryhumane @arkcatsancutary in Garrison's name," Janelle captioned the post. She also reflected on her son's love for the adorable felines, adding:

"Thank you for all your generosity. It means so much. The cats he adopted from both agencies were so important to him. He loved being a cat dad."

Given Garrison's unexpected demise, people couldn't help but wonder what would happen to his cats. Curious fans directed their questions at Janelle in the comment section, with one IG user writing:

"I hope she keeps them and they're not returned back to the humane society. Just heartbreaking all around."

The fan's comment received a positive response from the mother-of-six, who confirmed the cats were in good hands. "They are settling in with Garrison's siblings as we speak," she replied.

When a fellow cat lover wondered if the pets would stay with "trusted family," Janelle doubled down that the cats "are already safe at home with some of the siblings." It is unclear if Garrison's felines will be staying with his immediate family or the other members of the Brown clan.

During his life, the 25-year-old appeared to have a close relationship with the children of other "Sister Wives" stars, especially Christine Brown's brood. His step-mom has also honored his memory, with her latest tribute reflecting on some of his best moments.

Christine, one of Kody Brown's ex-wives from his plural marriage, paid homage to Garrison with a carousel of images on Instagram. The first snap was a group picture of her, Janelle, their respective children, and their grandkids.

Garrison donned a white and blue floral shirt over jeans and gray sneakers for the family event. He was seen smiling and having a good time with his siblings, while the final two images were taken from a different occasion.

The late Brown member donned a yellow top and black pants as he comfortably lounged on a couch in one snap while the other showed him cozying up to his sister in the kitchen. Christine reflected on the importance of these sweet moments in the post's caption, writing:

"Every photo with Garrison in it is now infinitely more important than ever before. I am scrambling for just another glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son."

The Brown family said their final farewells to Garrison on Saturday in a private memorial service, which his cousin Emma confirmed in a heartfelt letter. She shared several pictures of the deceased and reflected on her emotions after the funeral with the caption:

"Dear Robert, I had to dress up for your funeral today, and this is everything i wish you could've heard before I had to say goodbye. We love you. I don't even own a picture of you without your contagious smile."

"I don't know if I have the right words to say I'll miss you. I wish I was able to give you a hug and tell you how much you were loved," Emma continued. She also reminisced about her favorite memories with Garrison and hoped he was finally at peace.

According to a police report, Janelle Brown reportedly tried to check on her son following an ominous text he sent a day before his death.

Garrison had contacted a group of people the Brown family works with, presumably those linked to their reality TV show, writing:

"I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can't. I miss these days."

After catching wind of his concerning message, Janelle reached out to Garrison, and they briefly chatted over text before he stopped responding.

Worried, the matriarch implored his siblings to do a wellness check, and her son Gabriel offered to visit his older brother's apartment.

Unfortunately, Gabriel was greeted by Garrison's lifeless body and a handgun.
