Christine Brown, the star of “Sister Wives,” broke her silence about her family tragedy on Thursday.
Christine, 51, took to Instagram to post about Garrison Brown, who died by an apparent suicide at age 25 earlier this week.
Garrison was found dead at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Tuesday as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Flagstaff PD confirmed to The Post.
“Garrison was a wonderful, caring brother who understood Truely’s need for a hobby and built her a flowerbed,” Christine wrote via Instagram. She shared a video of Garrison working with her youngest daughter, Truely, 13, at their house.
“We’ll miss him forever,” she wrote.
Garrison was the son of Kody Brown, 55, and his wife, Janelle Brown, 54.
The TLC reality show, which has aired since 2010, follows the polygamist Brown family: husband Kody, his four wives Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn, and their 18 children.
Christine shares six children with Kody, and after 27 years of spiritual marriage, they announced their divorce in November 2021.
“Kody and I have grown apart and I have made the difficult decision to leave,” the polygamist couple revealed on Instagram at the time.
“We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family. At this time, we ask for your grace and kindness as we navigate through this stage within our family. With Love, Christine Brown.”
She went on to marry boyfriend David Woolley in October 2023.
Janelle and Kody, meanwhile, publicly separated in December 2022. The exes are also parents of five other children and grandparents of three.
Meri and Kody, for their part, announced their split after 32 years in January 2023 “after a decade of working on our relationship in our own unique ways.”
Robyn remains the only woman to still be with Kody since getting legally married in 2014. The family lived in Utah before moving to Las Vegas.
Garrison has appeared on the series since its start. He initially expressed interest in joining the Army but ended up in the National Guard, which was covered on the show — as was Garrison and his brother Gabe moving out of that house to Flagstaff due to Kody’s strict COVID-19 rules.
“We are devastated to hear of the tragic loss of Garrison Brown,” a spokesperson for TLC told The Post in a statement. “We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the Brown family at this difficult time.”
“Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown,” Janelle, 54, and Kody, 55, posted on their separate Instagrams after TMZ broke the news of his death.
“He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory,” they said.
Christine’s former “sister wife” Meri Brown, also paid tribute to Garrison, echoing Janelle and Kody’s statements.
