"In fact, he was very funny, very upbeat. He had a career path that he was excited about. He had a life, he had friends," Janelle recalled. She shared that he frequently checked in on their family and even adopted another cat in his final days.

Recalling the moments before his death, Janelle shared that Garrison seemed "really excited" about his career prospects. "We actually were having conversations. He had all the resources that he could have needed," she noted, adding:
"This was just such a shock. We just never expected this. I really actually had sort of thought like, 'Okay, maybe he's finally starting to get his momentum.'"
"It's hard in your twenties to find your path. And I was really excited, so it was such a shock because there was just no indication at all," Janelle stressed, revealing that Garrison's death inspired their family's mental health check-ins.
With a new business and another grandchild on the way, Janelle Brown has much to look forward to after her son's tragic death.
