Janelle’s phone provides powerful reminders
It is such a great loss
Janelle Will never forget her son. She gave birth to him and raised him with love. The emotional devastation she has to live with is so undeserved – life just isn’t fair. Before Garrison’s passing, she was valiantly trying to help him. Janelle heard about a message in a group chat she wasn’t a member of, and she contacted her son. He answered for a while and then he stopped answering. She got Gabriel Brown to check on his brother and he found Garrison’s body. Above, Janelle remembers the happy moments. She writes:
My phone serves me memories every day. Often they are pictures with Garrison. On good days (and today is a good day!) they make me smile because I remember the event and that it was a fun day. There is always a bittersweet after glow but it is still a good thing to see the time capsules
Janelle was so brave while dealing with this terrible loss. She is not blaming people – she remembers the person she loved. Garrison loved her too. As she looks back, she also moves forward, showing so much grace and dignity. Janelle’s launching a new business, Taeda Farms, and she’ll be selling flowers.
Janelle loves the natural world – she’s the one camped out in an RV at Coyote Pass. Doing what she loves will help her find peace, but she will never stop missing her son. He was a wonderful man.
Janelle’s son had problems before he died, but he never stopped loving his family. He even adopted a cat, Ms. Butans, that he saved from euthanasia. Garrison reportedly lived with addiction issues – he drank. He was having problems with an ex when he passed away. Janelle tried to save him, doing everything she could. She was always there for him. She says it’s hard to heal and that’s certainly an understatement. She is so strong.
A local newspaper published Garrison’s obituary. It said he is survived by his large, adoring family and three cats. Also, according to Nights, Garrison wanted to become a nurse because he loved people and innocent animals. While fans read the messages his family shares for and about Garrison, sister wife cast members such as Meri Brown has been criticized for posting regular content on social media and go along with their lives. It was a difficult time for the entire Brown family and their relatives, and each person heals differently from this loss.
