Christine Brown, one of the stars of TLC's Sister Wives, has spoken out in the wake of Janelle Brown's son death.

On March 5, it was announced that Robert Garrison Brown, AKA Garrison, tragically passed away aged 25 after he was found dead at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona.

His brother, Gabriel Brown, reportedly entered the home and called Flagstaff Police Department upon finding Garrison's body, which suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Authorities have confirmed to multiple outlets that no foul play is suspected at this time and an investigation into the incident is underway.

Just a few days later, now Christine Brown has spoken out about the tragic loss.

Taking to Instagram to post a video of the late star, she wrote: "Garrison was a wonderful, caring brother who understood Truely's need for a hobby and built her a flowerbed. We'll miss him forever."

Fans took to the comments to leave kind words for Christine as well as the rest of the family.

"I don't even know you guys and I've cried several times over this. As an audience we watched Garrison grow up. I am so sorry for your loss," wrote one user, while another: "You can tell he was the best big brother. I'm heartbroken for you all. Sending love and light."

A third also urged Truley to keep doing what she loves, just like Garrison did.

"Please tell Truely that if she continues to grow things and keep gardening, it will be a hobby that Garrison will always be with her spiritually while she is tending the garden. He really wanted her to have that," they wrote.

It comes shortly after Janelle and Kody Brown released statements addressing the death of their son.

Taking to Instagram on March 5, Garrison's mother Janelle, and his father Kody - who split in 2022 - decided to post a heartfelt tribute of Garrison alongside photos of him.

"Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown," the 54-year-old wrote in a joint statement with her husband. "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," the statement added.

Kody posted an almost identical post on his account.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this incredibly difficult time.
