Another one of Garrison Brown’s siblings has spoken out.
In heart-shattering fashion.
A day after Madison Brush focused on the importance of mental health in honoring Garrison — who took his own life on March 4 at the age of 25 — Savanah Brown has now issued her first statement since losing her brother.
Be warned, however. It very well may make you cry.
“I’m having a hard time understanding it. But I know now, more than anything, that my brother Garrison is no longer in any more pain,” Savanah wrote on Instagram tribute this past Tuesday.
Along with the words above and below, Savanah shared photos of Garrison… including one of him holding her when she was just an infant.
“Every time I see a car that looks like his on the road, I briefly wonder if it’s him on his way home from work before I am reminded that he is gone,” Savanah continued.
According to the Flagstaff Police Department, Garrison killed himself via an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected.
The reality star was discovered by his 22-year-old brother Gabriel after sending a text message that left loved ones concerned.
Continued Savanah, who is the youngest child of Janelle and Kody Brown:
“When I make PB&Js, I am reminded of him. When I look up at the night sky, he is there…
“I deeply hope that anyone who may be reading this never underestimates how big of a hole their loss would leave.
“Persevere, for the sake of your family, for the sake of your friends, for the sake of the ones who love you.”
Such beautiful words from someone in so much pain.
Savanah concluded her post by leaving the phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline for anyone who may need it.
In addition to Savanah and Madison, Garrison is survived by siblings Logan, 29, Hunter, 27, and Gabriel, 22 — as well as 12 half-siblings from Kody’s relationships with ex-wives Meri Brown, Christine Brown and wife Robyn Brown.
The entire Brown family gathered at Garrison’s funeral on March 9, with Mykelti Brown noting that it was the first time that the whole brood had been together “in years.”
On Monday, as previously noted, Maddie shared a video with fans to emphasize the importance of mental health.
She did so in the wake of the police report stating that Garrison’s roommates said the 25-year year old drank every night and was battling Depressing at the time of his suicide.
“Mental health is so important, and I don’t think we talk about it enough,” she said, in part.
“And I don’t think we do enough to bring awareness. It wasn’t bullying. It wasn’t a lack of love that Garrison had, it was mental health.
“And I am going to continue talking about mental health and self care until I am blue in the face.”
